Unfortunately, the management and leadership from the principal/director created a very stressful and frustrating environment. Communication was inconsistent, concerns were not handled professionally, and there were multiple situations where information given to parents did not match what actually happened. The management style felt controlling and dismissive rather than supportive or transparent. I strongly believe the staff deserve better leadership because many of the teachers are clearly trying their best despite the environment they are working in. I would recommend that parents ask detailed questions about management practices and communication policies before enrolling their children.

My daughter is about 2 and a half, and I was so nervous about the move. The staff and her new teachers have made her feel so welcome and the transition went better than expected.

The rooms have dedicated story time, play time, and art time areas. They have a very nutritious menu. I highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area!

Ms. Lashae was our primary point person during our time there and would always greet us with an excited "Good morning!" and enthusiastic remarks at the end of the day about how the day went and the progress our child was making. As first-time parents, this means so much! Getting the pictures throughout the day and updates when I would come to pick up, made me know that our toddler was cared for and nurtured so lovingly while with Ms. Lashae and Ms. Ronesha. Airin and her team were so incredible to us. Airin held our hand every step of the way with this transition to daycare for our family. I do not know how she and Julie juggle all of their responsibilities so gracefully and can be so responsive to calls and emails while also keeping the center running safely and efficiently. Huge kudos to them!!!

I did not want my daughter anywhere she would not be safe or loved. I was very nervous, unsure and honestly a little emotional about letting go for the first time. KinderCare handled everything on day one and completely changed those fears. Seeing how much our daughter has grown since starting there has been amazing. She is only three, but she is so smart and picks up things fast. She talks so much now, learns new things every day and comes home excited to tell us about her day. I give a lot of credit to the teachers and the leadership there. They see how bright she is and they work with her in a way that really brings out her personality. You can tell they care about her and the other children. I also want to say something that is personal to us. Life has been a little tough at times, especially financially. Through all of that, they never made us feel embarrassed or ashamed. They were patient and understanding when things were tight and they worked with us instead of making things harder. That meant more than they probably realize. They gave us support during a time we really needed it and I will always appreciate that. KinderCare has become more than just a daycare for us. It feels like a place where my daughter is truly loved and supported. She is happy there and that makes me feel at peace every time I drop her off. The staff feel like family and that is not something I say lightly. To the director and assistant director, thank you for everything you have done for our daughter and for us. Thank you for making us feel welcome, for understanding our situation and for helping our daughter grow into the smart and confident kid she is. We appreciate you more than I can put into words. For any parent who is scared or unsure the way we were, I can honestly say this center has been such a blessing for us. They really do care and it shows.

My son started attending this KinderCare in August of 2021 in the infant room and we are thrilled…read morewith the learning curriculum and care he receives from his teachers and staff here. We started in the middle of COVID19 and the directors kept us very informed of procedures and protocols the center was taking to keep our son safe. The center is clean and welcoming. They have it filled with photos of the kiddos doing all the fun and interactive activities from the days spent at Kindercare. I love receiving updates and photos from Ms. Myrisa and Ms. Laura on the app. They genuinely care for the children and I feel so confident in their teaching and care for my son. I am always impressed by the art projects they do, the games they play and the classroom circle time. My son LOVES being read to and I love to see the teachers reading to them as often as they do and that it is a major part of their daily routine. Ms. Valentina and Ms. Mary Kate continue to keep parents/guardians informed and involved with things happening in my son's class as well as the entire center. They do a handful of events after hours and our family always enjoy attending. We appreciate the time and effort put into holiday get-togethers. It is always nice to see and talk with the other parents who have their children at the center. My husband and I look at each other from time to time and say how thankful we are that our son is at such a great daycare/learning center. It takes a special person/people to care for children and those are exactly what you will find at the Herr Lane KinderCare.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Primrose School of East Louisville. From day one, we…read morefelt confident and comfortable knowing our baby was in such loving, capable hands. The teachers (and support staff) in the infant room were incredibly nurturing and attentive. They took the time to really get to know our child's personality and needs, and they communicated with us every step of the way. It was clear from the beginning that this was a true partnership in our child's development, which is invaluable as a first time parent. The level of engagement from the staff has consistently exceeded our expectations. The teachers (and support staff) are not only warm and caring, but they also create a fun, stimulating environment that encourages exploration and growth. We've loved seeing the developmental milestones our child has reached, and we know so much of that progress is thanks to the intentional learning experiences and individual attention provided at Primrose. What stands out the most is how happy our child is when we bring her to school and the immediate engagement with the teachers. She always smiles at drop-off when we hand her to one of her teachers and they are engaged in the conversation about when our child ate last, how she slept the night before, and how her attitude was that morning before coming to school so they know how to best care for her that day. Starting each day off like this is priceless for a parent. Knowing your child is safe, happy and learning is exactly what I would expect from a place like Primrose, and they deliver. We are incredibly grateful for the role Primrose has played so far in the growth and development of our child and cannot recommend Primrose School of East Louisville enough!

If you're a parent who wants the best education for your child(ren)--this is a must read & you…read moreshould look no further! My 4 yr old son has the privilege of attending this private "accredited" yes "accredited" preschool and it is phenomenal. He has been to some daycares in the past that swear that their focus is education & challenging the minds of the little ones but trust me, after paying close attention, they were not. I researched and found Primrose before it was even built months ago & decided that this was the place my son had to be no matter how many hours I needed to work--he needed to have the best education. Primrose teachers are degree level teachers who have the know how and ability to work with the kids according to their age group. The kids have a schedule so they aren't being babysat--they're actually learning. I can't tell you how much my son has made a dramatic shift in his behavior and attitude since starting here & it hasn't even been a month. So if you're child is acting out at his/her current school, investigate what's going on--he/she may just be bored from the lack of activity. To top it all off, the owner Anne Almond rocks! Her smile and personality is contagious and the director Laura Paine is irreplaceable in the quality of professionalism and friendliness she displays to each family. Lastly, I'm a foodie so you know I love the fact that they have a Personal Chef who really prepares healthy meals for the children. My son and daughter always come home telling me about the healthy snacks they've had at Primrose. Parents, I know this was long but if you really truly care about your child's education this is the place you'll want them to be. If you have school-aged children, that's no problem. My daughter is 5 and they pick her up on the bus (that has seatbelts...what?!) everyday from school to attend Primrose for Aftercare! I kid you not--we're a military family but now that I've found Primrose and the wonderful staff at East Louisville's location--I really don't want to leave, even with me knowing they have 20 or more locations in other states. Please, check them out! You'll be glad that you did or questioning why you hadn't!

I do not recommend this place. If I could give it zero stars I would. In short, my daughter was bit…read morerepeteadly by other classmates, she had a head injury on the playground resulting in an ER visit and two staples in her head. We kept her home for a week, and her first day back she was bit by another classmate. Please read my full review. My daughter had been at Providence since she was 6 months old. It was the hardest decision I have ever made to decide who to trust my first born child to care for. In infant care, there was stability and regular teachers there, and it was great. When our daughter became a toddler (she is 2 now) there was a lot of instability in the teachers in the class and level of care. Our daughter was bit repeatedly. On one occassion, it drew blood and she had a scar. We also tried to give a margin of grace as things do happen and we were never irate or punishing, we just sought to come to a solution. Recently, an older kid dropped a piece of PVC pipe down the slide resulting in an open head wound on my 2-year-old. The staff did not transport her to the hospital despite acknowledging that "she probably needed stitches." Her father and I immediately take to the ER where she gets two staples in her head and we monitor her for signs of concussion. This happened on a Friday and the director and school officials never emailed, called, or checked on her. I had to seek out the daycare director, Lisa, on Monday to ask her what happened and what they were doing about it. A conversation I shouldn't have had to prompt in my opinion. At the time, I calmly talked to Lisa and she seemed apologetic and receptive of feedback, which made me feel like it was an honest mistake. We keep her home for a week until her staples were removed. Her first day back was today, and she got bit by another classmate. I go into the daycare admittedly livid, but this time the director just spouts off statistics says "these things happen" and she hasn't had a hospitalization incident in x amount of years and her record speaks for itself. She just told me how Providence is a top notch facility and everything else. She was very condescending. It became clear to me that they see kids here as statistics. I don't care if this was the first time a hospitalization incident has happened, as a parent, whose kid was hurt stats are not comforting. I removed her from Providence, and I won't be bringing her back. I care about protecting my kiddo and other parents being able to protect their kiddos, so I wanted to share my story.
