Our daughter has been there since it has opened and she loves it there!! The owners are amazing people and truly care about your family and listen. The staff is fun, caring, and kind towards not just our child, but towards others as I have witnessed repeatedly! They have worked with our schedule which I am very grateful for and always work towards resolving any issues when they arise. I am very happy with the curriculum the children are learning and the communication that comes from the Academy. The care and schedule is consistent, the kitchen is BIG plus as it takes away from worries of making daily lunches, and we are thankful that our daughter has a hot meal, and eats things that we cannot get her to eat at home, lol. The smile and excitement we get from our child after school speaks volumes! She is always in an amazing mood when she goes to her Academy! Keep up the good work and always grow!!

Our daughter has attended the Purple Door D'Andrea campus for over a year and has had a wonderful…read moreexperience! The campus is lovely and perfect for young children; bright colors and loads of fun toys. The school also has a huge backyard to play in with bikes and a playground. The teachers are all kind and knowledgeable and the smaller class sizes ensure plenty of one on one attention. My kiddo has made lots of friends and learned her alphabet and how to write her name and sound out words. I appreciate that there are themes that focus on fairy tales, and pets, and the human body ,and everything else in between. Our daughter is always excited to go to school--I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone looking for a clean, loving environment to send their kiddos.

My husband and I transitioned our 5 year old son after being in a in home daycare to a more 'school…read morebased' care/preschool as he fell along the later Kindergarten kids since his birthday is in October and we were a little too late to enroll him to WCSD Pre-K programs, but also needed something more full-time rather than a 7-12pm timeframe. Purple Door Preschool D'Andrea is located next to my mom's apartment at Eastland , so my husband and I thought it help with drop off and pick ups. I have also had multiple friends mention they love Purple Door. When I first called, they said I could come by anytime during the week to do a tour. So I went with my son and met Mr. T for the first time who showed me the D'Andrea campus . I was impressed with the type of rooms they had, the different themes each month, and the 'curriculum' they offered for the kids , especially for the 4/5 year olds who are about to go into Kinder. We made the decision to officially transition our son around October time and my son was really excited. So far with my experience with this school, I had concerns at first with the transition and my son making friends as he met some of his closer friends at his old daycare . Everything was good so far, but my son did have an issue he expressed to me about another kid who supposedly not as nice to my son. I mentioned my concerns to the teachers about the other child targeting my son, however the teacher explained that the other child did have some problems with other kids also and fair enough my son can have a lot of energy too and is still working on his boundaries as a 5 year old. That was the beginning of my sons time with PurpleDoor but have not heard anymore problems with the other child after that. They also got the cubbies confused on my sons first day of school where we had an awkward situation with another parent about my sons cubby being incorrect . It was an easy resolve though, and it all worked out at the end. My son has been able to spell his name, his last name, and progress more with his cognitive learning since being at PurpleDoor and I've been happy with all the other extra curriculum they've done at the school like their winter performances and right now their soccer shots that I just enrolled my son on Tuesdays till March. This is a school where you do have to provide your own lunches for your kids but they have parties every now and then. They do also follow WCSD calendar, so anytime the schools are closed are when PurpleDoor is closed along with winter delays or fire days , but they do communicate with you over the BrightWheel app and emails regarding any closure or delays. Every month you are required to bring a Costco size snack for the kiddos as they provide the snacks and fresh fruit for them. Finally this is a tuition based school with different cost for part time and full time care along with before and after school care. As a first time parent, I do recommend to look at all your options for care especially if you have a 4/5 year old because there are Pre-K programs for WCSD as long as there is room and not tuition based and depending on your location in NNV other preschools may offer till 6pm care without paying an addition cost for after school care. But I do recommend PurpleDoor Preschool as the teachers are great, the curriculum is good, and my 5 year old son absolutely loves it.

Honest review for the parents: your kiddos are going to love it, and you're going to love the nap!…read more5/5 Been told about Gymboree for a while now and I've been too busy to schedule a day to come in... Today though... was the day! Our kiddo absolutely loved the play area, he didn't stop once for the 45 minutes he got to play. We scheduled an open gym play time and our son got to mingle with some other little, as well as got to get his energy out. What I loved was the owner/staff at the front. Can I say absolutely respectful, welcoming, and just prioritizing the kids safety and well-being. While we were all getting ready to join in, we got to introduce the parents. And the kids got ready to go in. Meanwhile she was busy at work cleaning the areas to make sure that the kiddies were in a clean play room. Plus once a month they rearrange the area to incorporate more styles of play. They have different memberships online and you can text for availability, which is how we were able to confirm availability for the day! For parents with kids in early intervention programs, this is a great place to bring your kids for therapy. For other kids without a therapy need, this allows them to teach and influence other kiddos who need that influence. Definitely will be returning in the future for more fun!

Primrose has nurturing teachers, convenient pick up and drop off times, a diversity of healthy snacks and meals, compassionate administrators, and a lovely community of parents. They have date night options as well as camps for school breaks for my older child. Their curriculum is fun, creative, and developmentally appropriate, with dance and sports extras. My 4 year old has school readiness skills and phonetic awareness that rivals what my son, who attended a play based day care, had at the end of kindergarten. As a full time working mom, I am so impressed by the school and thankful for this high quality and reliable care.

We have had an outstanding experience at Primrose School of South Reno. I cannot recommend this…read moreschool enough! We transferred our toddler to Primrose when they opened in October as we were not satisfied with our previous care provider. Enrollment in Primrose is the best childcare decision we've made for our daughter. Her vocabulary, both verbal and through sign language, greatly improved after enrollment. The toddler lesson plans are fun and educational so she's constantly surprising us at home with what she's learned in school. We are very pleased with her progress. Primrose uses the Procare application to update parents throughout the day and send general school notifications. We receive updates regarding our child's diapering, nap times (she consistently naps on her cot for 2-2.5 hours) and how much she's eating. We also get the occasional picture and she looks so happy in each one! Primrose provides a balanced meal plan and I'm satisfied in knowing my child is getting all the nutrients her body needs. She loves the food and has expanded her palate. I'm happy she finally likes noodles too! Honestly, she eats better than I do during the work week! Also, the chef is very friendly. My daughter waves to her during most morning drop-offs. I'm told they often wave to each other during the day since the toddler classroom is across from the kitchen too. I love how much fun the chef has with the children too. The school has a great security system which is important to my husband and I. You are unable to enter the building without a code and the outdoor play areas have tall rod iron fences. They practice monthly fire drills too. We are 100% confident in our daughter's safety at Primrose. Regarding cleanliness, teachers are cleaning throughout the day, they purchased electro-static sprayers to disinfect twice per week, and there's a cleaning company that comes in 5 days a week to sanitize high touch surfaces. I believe there are also air purifiers in the classrooms. It is clear that Bethany and Alonzo, the owners of this franchise location, are passionate about childcare and education, as are the Primrose teachers. They are all dedicated to the children and present a fun, caring and educational environment. I love the updates and conversations I have with them during pick-ups. I can't rave about Primrose School of South Reno enough. We look forward to long-term childcare with this school and feel blessed to be a Primrose pioneer!

Her dedication, patience, and love for teaching is evident in the way she engages with the children.

It helps that his little brother is now attending. :D If you have kids and Ms. Becky has an opening, don't hesitate to jump on it. She is easily worth twice what she charges, and our kids learn so much every day they spend with Ms. Becky.

(I remember how my husband and I always get shocked when our first child gets home with all of these talents and knowledges when neither of us were teaching her!!) We loved how class is small, (only 6 children/day) and kids get the full attention. They are always onto fun sensory activities, physical activities, experiments, observations that introduces/teaches science, art, music, math, language, world cultures, PE. Many activities are seasonally related and planned ahead, she always gives us the schedule ahead of time. Not only the curriculum, but also they learn how to be kind humans to each other, to the world, to the planet in general. Kids become sweetest humans. She always send you pictures of the kiddos so you are aware of what they are up to, also feel like you aren't missing out much. School and Ms Becky is the cleanest. She follows the state rules and guidance throughly, I'm confident kids are in great hands once they are in her school. She is a great communicator as well, she reports everything that matters to the families even if it's such a minor thing. She is also the most patient human ever. Many of the parents are amazed how she directs and navigates these young children who sometimes get out of control. She is fair, and treats every students with so much respects and I believe that's why every kids respect her back. Our youngest is graduating this spring and we are very saddened about how we won't get to see her regularly. But all of our kids had set the great foundations there and I have no doubts they would grow even further as amazing humans going forward! Thank you Mrs. Becky from The bottom of our hearts. You would be SO happy if you send your children here!
