My son especially loves his Teacher Elizabeth! My husband and I get sent photos of the students doing planned activities, along with the expected outcomes. There seems to be a good balance of free play and "planned lessons," that always appears to be fun for the kids. My son also comes home clean even after a full day of painting and other activities. I have peace of mind while my son is at Primrose. He is safe, learning, having fun, and very well cared for!

Bullying at this school has become an issue and not addressed. Each child is seen as profit so…read moretherefore if one child is bullying they will allow the child to stay and persist in bullying rather than remove the bully from the school. Being a private school you expect more, because each child is so profitable from the monthly income they bring into the school, they will keep a bully vs removing them. Both of my children were bullied, the principal would tell me it will be talked about every time I came for help to protect my child. The bullying continued, so bad my children had to be forced to go to school to not get behind as they felt they endured mental abuse. The rate at which students are leaving this school for another school is high. The principal allows the best students to leave by not addressing the problem students. Every student causing problems can stay and persist in problems rather than being removed permanently as the parents talk in groups about how everyone pulls from the school because the principal is allowing the problem students to maintain bullying. My son now has to be removed from the school because he is crying himself to sleep. the child harassing him has been allowed to do so the entire year no change only empty promises. If your child is harassed, you'll be forced to leave because the harasser will never be asked to leave. Shameful

I couldn't ask for a better environment for the foundation of my daughter's school years and learning. The Christian environment is important to our family, and I love that is a main focus at the school too. There are plenty of other preschools to choose from in Meridian and closer to where we live... but I will gladly make the drive to Eagle Christian preschool knowing my daughter is thriving and in such good care!!

Linder learning has a great outdoor play area for the kids to have fun with. It is fully fenced with 6 foot walls to prevent the kids from escaping, or people prying. Inside there are several different rooms for the kids to interact in. Each class room offers different lessons and fine motor skills. Then staff has been extremely welcoming and we've been happy that there has been very little turnover so that our daughter has consistent teachers. I would recommend Linder learning to anyone who askes. We've even increased the duration our daughter goes to school now.

However, even on the first day, his teacher and the staff there made us feel so welcome and at ease. His teacher, Mrs. Kelby is so kind and warm. It was obvious that she would take great care of him which made it so much easier to drop him off. They send pictures and updates on how his day is going which makes being away from him a little bit easier. She is so amazing at making sure he gets plenty of naps, meals, and tummy time!

Our children absolutely love this school and feel very comfortable there. From the moment we walk in, the environment feels warm, calm, and intentionally cared for. The classrooms are spotless, thoughtfully designed, and organized in a way that feels nurturing rather than chaotic. Cleanliness here is clearly a priority, and it shows every single day. This quality is at the top of my list of must haves for a place for my children! What truly sets Primrose apart, though, is the staff. The teachers are engaged, attentive, and genuinely loving. Our children are greeted by name, embraced with kindness, and supported emotionally as well as academically.They both come home happy, confident, and excited to tell us about what they learned and did that day. That alone speaks volumes. The curriculum has been age-appropriate, structured, and meaningful. We regularly see projects, activities, and evidence of learning come home. More importantly, we see growth--in social skills, independence, curiosity, and joy. This is not a place where children are discouraged from being kids; it's a place where they're guided, supported, and encouraged to thrive, be curious and inquisitive. Every child and family is different, and I fully respect that experiences can vary. But for us, Primrose has been nothing but a positive, loving, and enriching environment. If you're looking for a preschool that prioritizes safety, cleanliness, emotional care, and thoughtful learning, this school has been an excellent fit for our family. We're grateful to be part of this community and would confidently recommend it to other parents.

Unfortunately we were disappointed when we learned that Idaho ranks LAST in the NATION for early childhood education participation, and 68 percent of Idaho's 3- and 4-year-olds are not attending ANY preschool. We did not want to be part of that statistic so we began our preschool search based off of accredited early education programs like NAEYC, NHSA, ZeroToThree, and NAAEE standards. While we were fortunate to find multiple options in the Treasure Valley there were only a few that rose above the rest. We highlighted Kodomo Kids because they offer: - certified/well-educated staff (graduate degree early education) - small class size in an informal yet safe/clean environment - NO screen time in lieu of daily nature play outdoors - uses the Brightwheel phone app for real time updates throughout the day - fluency in multiple languages (Japanese and American Sign Language) There is still a lot of research to be done on childhood bilingualism but we do know that children can learn two or more languages during childhood without any problems. And that in fact, it is much easier to learn language in the early years from a native speaker not videos. Our son has been enrolled since 2017 and thoroughly enjoys his "sensei" and we love the caring attention and interactive education curriculum he receives. Kanpai to arigatō!

There is a child there whose mother does baby led weaning - no problem! They support parents rather than giving them oober strict guidelines that there child must fit into. The older children have class time. Siblings are encouraged to visit with each other throughout the day. The kids move up based on age AND development; not just age like a lot of places. They even have parents night out every so often. The rates are as good as you can get anywhere in Meridian or Boise! Tana and Valerie are working to build a larger center on the same property for Spring 2016. It will have indoor and outdoor play grounds and a bike path! I feel so lucky that my son gets to spend his days there. His teachers baby the kids, but they also help teach them right from wrong. They talk to the little babies about colors, the alphabet, animals, etc. They are learning from day 1 at the center. I would love to stay home with him, but in this economy TreeHouse is the next best thing!!
