Many of the schools i toured previously were very wishy washy with their procedures and policies. I wanted a place that felt like home, had a respectable kind staff, but had clear expectations and guidelines for my son's safety and care. I toured school with a long check list of questions and all of my concerns were addressed professionally. My son (17m) has been attending since he was 10 weeks old. As a first time mom everything was overwhelming and frightening to start. The whole staff was so helpful and welcoming to start. Bianca and her team made this very difficult transition seem very smooth. I remember on our first day she invited me to call the classroom as many times as I needed. I did my best to focus on my work and trust they had him. She was kind enough to call me. Just to check in and give me an update knowing this was a big day for both of us. Bianca was incredible when it came to difficult things like transitioning to solids, sickness, and developmental milestones. Now my son is in the 1's class and he's learning so much everyday. He can't wait to go to school in the morning. I can't imagine being a working mom and not having this level of care for my son. I feel so fortunate that I found this group right away. Thank you, NHCDS

If you're looking for a school to enroll your kids in this is the one even if you have to be on the waiting list, it's totally worth it. I highly recommend it. Thank you.

Mrs. Marielsy has been such a blessing to our son this year. As his time in her class comes to an end before moving up to VPK, I can honestly say we are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication she pours into every child each day. She is incredibly diligent and attentive with all the children, especially with helping them learn and grow at their own pace. Our son has learned so much in her class -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- and he truly loves going to school because of the calm, happy, and welcoming environment she creates. One of the things we appreciate most is how creative and engaging she is with the children. The fun projects, crafts, and activities she plans are always thoughtful and exciting, and we love seeing the special things our son proudly brings home. Teaching this age group is not easy, yet she handles it with such grace and patience that she makes it look effortless. Mrs. Marielsy also speaks both Spanish and English, which adds such a wonderful dynamic to the classroom. Even while continuing to strengthen her English fluency, her kindness, warmth, and ability to connect with the children shines through so naturally, and the leadership team is always supportive whenever needed. We are beyond thankful for the positive impact she has had on our son and our family. Any child would be lucky to have her as a teacher!

The quality is unbeatable and they average the same prices and other centers around but I feel like I got better value for my money.

We toured the school shortly after relocating to Tampa Palms and immediately felt comfortable. Many of the teachers, especially in the rooms of the youngest children, have been with the school for a very long time. They treat your children as if they were their own. They challenge them, they support them, they teach them, and they allow them to be children. The curriculum is dynamic and feedback is consistently provided to help us to extend the learning outside the classroom. From a value perspective, the pricing is extremely competitive and affordable. When the new owners took over, they spent significant funds to improve the facilities. They upgraded the entire outdoor area to make it more usable year round, especially during rainy season. The Fitzpatricks did this because they knew it would be a better product and a better environment for our children. Tuition didn't increase a penny, despite the large capital improvement. The owners and leadership team work closely with outside vendors to make sure that the extracurricular programs offered to our students are competitively priced and from reputable companies. My son loves that he is able to participate in gymnastics, soccer, drama, and soon will be joining in on karate. He wouldn't have the opportunity to be exposed to such a wide variety of programs without Primrose. In terms of responsiveness, we've never seen a parent's request or small complaint go without answer and remediation. The school does an excellent job communicating with all parents. No school of infants to Pre-K students will ever be completely free of germs, but should a student bring an infection into school, there is immediate communication to parents, and steps are taken to ensure that any potential spread is minimized. I travel for work most weeks and my wife also works full time. Neither of us would be able to have the peace of mind and ability to focus on our careers that we do without the amazing environment and experience provided by both Primrose and its owners, The Fitzpatricks. We know that our son is in good hands and is surrounded by friends, teachers, and administrators who care about his safety, well-being, education, and growth. When you enroll in Primrose, you gain an extension of your family. Teachers become aunts and uncles who check in on your child long after they move on from their classroom. The support staff and administrators go out of their way to make you feel informed and included, and they make sure to give every student attention. A building full of infants and toddlers has the potential to be a very chaotic place, but somehow the group at Primrose Tampa Palms finds a way to provide a calm, inclusive, and supportive environment for all of us. A child's education and development is one of the most important investments you can make, especially in these early years. If we had to make the choice again, we'd choose Primrose every time.

They care for them like they were their own and know all of their little quirks. I feel confident that when I drop them off they will have a day full of structured learning and play. They both love Primrose and it is evident that the staff, to include leadership, are invested in them and to making the school somewhere they feel safe and happy when they are away from home. 100% trust this school with my children!

I cannot give enough praise and thanks to the Primrose CC family! We recently had to move away from…read morethe area and in going another school truly became aware of just how good we had it at Primrose CC. Primrose CC was an extension of our family. We had our two daughters here, both from the time they were infants (now almost 3 and a little over 1). The owners, Director, and teachers were so invested in our girls. I loved that EVERYONE (really, no exceptions) knew my girls, gave high fives and hugs when they saw them in the hallway during drop off and pick up, and were truly invested in their growth, learning, comfort, and happiness. Any time we had a concern (which was rare) it was immediately addressed with thoughtfulness and respect. Mr. and Mrs. McCallister, Ms. Ground, and the teachers consistently communicate about events, how the girls were doing, etc. Everyone really gets into the events at the school too, down to dress up days and charitable activities. Such fun for the kiddos! We will truly miss you, Primrose CC family!

Patricia Selva, the director at the Hyde park location discriminates against neurodivergent…read morechildren. Additionally, they don't have enough staff to cover the promised daily activities such as outdoor play. They keep the after school children in one room, expecting them to complete worksheets while sitting at a table quietly for hours. Although we were verbally told during our tour (and it's covered in their handbook) by Patricia that they would go outside daily to play on the playground, they never did. There was always an excuse. It was too hot or not enough staff to watch the kids. For a neurodivergent child, this is a must. After sitting in a class all day, they need to get their energy out. My son, repeatedly got in trouble because he was saying potty words (poop, pee, balls) while sitting idle in the classroom. When we addressed it with the director she said "all the other children are angels, except yours. He must be learning this inappropriate language at home." As she was telling me this, another child approached my son and punched him in the stomach. When I pointed that out to her, she said "I didn't see anything." Patricia was looking for any reason to remove my child from the center because he didn't fit the definition of normal. I called to inform Trent Crouch who oversees children's nest he said "there is nothing I can do, Patricia has been with us a long time." It saddens me that our community is unwilling to help children that are neurodivergent. In this case, children's nest did not live up to their promises of keeping the kids active. They looked for reasons to discipline my child and ignore the bullying behaviors of other kids. Patricia and Trent should be ashamed of how they treated my son and learn how to help kids of all abilities,
