The staff is warm and courteous and very proactive in taking care of any concerns you have. For the most part the teachers are great, but that is hit or miss from class to class in any daycare.

She takes time and give so much love and attention that he sprints to her room every morning. The kinder crew (Kenzie, Cortlyn, and Cindy)are amazing. They spend so much time planning fun activities for the kids and my four year old sometimes tells me he'd rather be at school than with me (ouch lol). The admin team also deserves a shout out. Deena is bar none the best person Ive ever dealt with in a daycare setting. Professional and sweet and always ready to help. They have so much going for them that I can't possibly fit it in on here, but suffice to say, I will alway recommend them for their team of amazing people and the love they show to our kids. Thank you guys for being the village we need.

My daughter recently started pre-k here and she LOVES IT!!!!…read more Let me tell you more about my daughter so you understand why this is such a big deal: My daughter is very very very clingy to me. I guess you could call her my little "Velcro" baby. She doesn't do well meeting people for the first time as she is a bit shy... at first. As soon as we walk into the facility she was greated with this huge mural of the sea and colorful fishes, she was impressed!!!! "Wow mommy!! Look at the fishy!!!!" Very welcoming impression for her. My husband and I walk her to her class , once she walks in a teacher dancing with the other children in the back walks to the front and greats my daughter. She quickly took her back back off and joined the rest of the kids!!!!! She didn't even say goodbye to us!! Rember, she's my Velcro baby, this is unusual of her.

I debated on writing a review because Ms. Sara and Mickey are great people, but I feel the need to…read moremake other parents aware of the effects this place had on my child. I will start out by saying that having Mrs. Kahn as my daughters teacher was the biggest mistake I ever made as a parent. There would be times Mrs. Kahn would say," Oh your child wouldn't sit down in circle time and would go play with the toys instead, or I know her shirt has milk and paint all over it but she got upset when I tried to change her so I left it on." The first thought that came to my mind was," Aren't you the teacher?" My child wasn't bad at all, she was just excited to be in an environment with so many stimulating things in it, and as a teacher you would think her 15+ years of experience would've taught her how to handle those situations. It's as if she was so used to having perfect children and got flustered when a child didn't listen when she told them to do something the first time. And as far as my child learning anything, she didn't learn anything from her other than how to line up and go outside. The funny thing is when I would be on break from school or had her for the holidays, I would teach her the smallest things and my daughter would catch on so fast that everyone in my family could see an improvement. Why was it that she wasn't learning anything at school when she was there 5 days a week, but as soon as I taught her something on a 3 day break all of a sudden you see improvement? I'll tell you why, it's because Mrs. Kahn was NOT paying attention to my child and paid more attention to other children and was busy begging parents to give money or food to her for the parties she always threw (as if tuition wasn't enough). If she spent more time on educating the children then planning parties, maybe the children could actually learn something. My husband also would drop our daughter off and say to me ," Does she not like our daughter? She always gives us a look like she doesn't want her there, but when other children come in, she gets excited and gives them hugs." Also you know something is wrong with a teacher when the director pulls her own grandchild out of their class, and transfers them into another teachers class. In all since leaving within 3 months my child can count to 100 and can read at 3 years old, and it's all because I taught her and took her out of that school. My advice is to anybody looking at this school, DO NOT enroll your child in her class. She's obviously more focused on throwing parties and doesn't know a thing about teaching in a structured environment.

We started looking for a daycare / montessori when my son was 15 months. We were worried because he…read morehad not been around people much other than his parents and grandparents. He also had a ton of allergies - milk, seafood, and tree nuts. We visited over 7 schools for him and read every single review for each of the places. We were most impressed with Primrose. Miss Natalie was professional and patient with us during our tour as we asked question after question. I also loved their system of having every kids picture in the classroom with their allergies listed next to their face. They seemed very organized. When we started, our son would still cry at drop off and took longer than most kids to adjust but the school helped us through it. The teachers were loving and looked out for our son and I would literally call every 1-2 hours and ask for an update and they would often send a photo through the portal when I did. About 6 months into our time there, we started Oral Immunotherapy for our son's milk allergy. As a part of that, we were able to trial and error small portions of foods that contained milk. Every Monday, Miss Kari and I still go through the weekly menu and talk through what foods my son should try for the week and what portions. Now my son has overcome his milk allergy and the school was a huge help in getting us there. Other praises I'll sing: even though kiddos can switch classes every 6 months - 1 yearish, the teachers are so phenomenal that neither our son or us have had a hard time with the transitions, they were seamless. He also was behind on walking and his vocabulary when he started and both improved dramatically when he started. Now he goes into school with a smile on his face and talks about his teachers and his friends at home. It's a home away from home for him. Great job Primrose!

This review is based ONLY on the summer camp for the older kids. If the review is too long, just…read moreskip to the last paragraph where the most ridiculous thing happened. PSA: at the bottom of the page there is a "not recommended" button. Be sure to read that review too, it shocked me but I do not doubt it. The daycare is okay. Positive thing about this is the week to week payment, so if you are not going to make it there a week you don't have to pay unlike some other primrose schools I've been too. The front staff are friendly for the most part. The teachers in the summer class classroom in the morning are usually very sweet and welcoming. First issue is the parking lot, if you can't find a parking spot good luck turning around to get out. It's a one way in/out and is a small parking lot with no turn around. It wasn't such a big issue for me but can be annoying when you try picking your kid up at 5 and there are no spots. Second issue is how many kids there are, in the explorer class for summer there were so many kids, all crammed into a classroom, when I went to pick up my child the teacher was always yelling at them to sit down and probably because there were too many kids for her to handle. And not speaking loudly for them to hear her, she was literally yelling at them. But okay.. Well, for a 4th of July party they had a list for each classroom to bring something for their class party if they wanted too. I signed up for fruit since only one other parent did too. That day I went to drop off my child and picked him up, he said that he didn't get any fruit, no one in the class did. (He was really looking forward to it when we bought it too.) He said he saw the closing teacher take both trays and left the classroom. He had one square of pizza, Cheetos and a cookie. He was still hungry but that was all he got. (Everyday he said he was always still hungry) I was confused about what had happened with the item we brought but he had told me after we'd got home. So I brushed it off. The next day the school was closed then I dropped him off Friday, his potential last day. I picked him up and he said he had fun and wanted to stay another week. Okay, I thought maybe I made a big deal and he enjoys it. Then he TELLS me this, what happened in class; he said "a kid threw up and the teacher made him clean it up." My boyfriend and I looked at each other and busted out in a laugh. Not because it was funny but because of how ridiculous that was. I've worked in a daycare in the past and work with children in a schools setting so I know if a child vomits, you get gloves and proper sanitizing equipment and clean it up and have the child sent to the nurse or front and have a parent called. You should NEVER make a child clean his/her own vomit. That is embarrassing and just wrong, if that was my child I know he'd be crying and upset. I sure hope that child told their parents. My child the tells me after I asked if they sprayed anything on it, he tells me "no they just put a towel over it." ... when I worked at a daycare (another primrose at that) our responsibility if a child threw up was to properly sanitize the area with disposable napkins and our sanitizer spray that we even used for diaper changing stations. Kids could get sick if something like that is not properly cleaned. That is when I decided, that Friday was his last day. Unfortunately, this being the closest primrose my child will not ever be attending this primrose again due.

We came here at the start of the Covid pandemic when public schools were not able to provide our family with the reassurance we needed, that they would do everything r they could to keep kids in the classroom. St. Thomas made good on that promise. Now ending the pandemic (or at least I hope so) I am so very grateful to this school for providing a safe place for my daughter to learn. My daughter is thriving in her classes and coming home to tell me about all the amazing things she got to do and learn while at school. The teachers are so helpful and go above and beyond to educate. During science fair, I had a newborn at home, and Mrs. Vetter took my daughter aside to help her create her science project board, even helping on an administrative day, when the kids were out of school. The last few years have been very difficult on all schools and I feel like St Thomas, as small as they are, have provided us with a safe, happy and educational experience. In the 2 years we have been here, my daughter has excelled in her classes and we can see a huge difference in her reading, math and science. Her love of school is so obvious, she comes home excited to tell us what she has learned. She learns Spanish EVERYDAY! Spanish is included in the daily curriculum, which I find so awesome. They spend tons of time outside, my daughter comes home dirty most days, lol, she is playing, having fun and is happy here. I am so grateful for St Thomas. Schools have had it hard these last couple of years, it has not been easy to hire, get classes covered and stay open.St thomas stated open, masked up, taught outside, used cleaning procedures and fancy air filters, all to keep kids in school. Now, we are happy that these precautions have lessened, and will continue to lessen as the community spread lessens Also, a reviewer said that the school hired a sub without a background check. It is my understanding, because I asked the board, that the sub was background checked and had references through CCISD. St thomas runs their own, but during this time they used a substitute teacher through CCISD, which isn't their normal practice to be fair, but because their own subs were also out sick or at home with someone sick, or were already teaching elsewhere, they used a sub that was in good standing through CCISD. It is my understanding that the public school is asking parents and college students with a small amount of hourly credits to teach bc of the difficulty with hiring during a global pandemic. As a parent, I am okay with how that was handled, given the current climate. St thomas has been bc a wonderful learning environment for my child, we love the small classrooms, amazing teachers and friendly environment
