After attending their 5 year old program, our daughter skipped Kindergarten and is excelling in 1st grade. All of the teachers seem to truly love the children and I feel completely at ease when I drop off my 12 month old. The price is one of the highest in the area and is the ONLY reason I don't rate them with 5 stars, but after considering the piece of mind I have there, I couldn't see us anywhere else.

My child attended this school for many years. I have a very low opinion of this school for the…read morefollowing reasons: 1) a male child exposed himself to my child and another child at this school. The school did not notify me of this issue - my child had to disclose it to me. When I told the school director about it she effectively did nothing about. Additionally, she did even notify the parents of the other effected child of the situation. 2) My child was vicitimed by a bully in her class for years. This situation resolved itself when they child left. The school's director tried many times to get me to understand that things like this happen with children and that I was blowing it out of portion. 3) My ex-spouse and I were involved in a very nasty custody battle for many years. The school and its adminstration constantly took sides. At one point when I lost custody the school's director effectively told me that the contract was with the other parent and that as such I would not receive any communication about my child and that I would be removed from the email update list and that they would not provide any updates on my child's progress. 4) Very high teacher turnover. The school only has 3 full time teachers and within a couple of years the school fired 3 teachers. 5) many parents fall into social tribes - the child see this behavoir and copy it. I found that child tended to function in groups that excluded other children. Even a teacher at the school who had children at the school were victimized by this type of ingroup/outgroup abuse by other students.

Our son has been attending Anami for the past three years and we could not be happier with the…read moreschool and our experience with the team of teachers and staff. Everyone is happy, warm and welcoming and most importantly passionate about  their work and bringing out the best in each child. Our son has been thriving in the small family type environment and he enjoys the focused attention he receives. He enjoys school so much that he even requested to stay for after-school-care. I would describe myself as a very protective parent, but knowing that my son is at Anami gives me a tremendous peace of mind. Aside from the warm and caring environment, the curriculum is excellent and his learning and growth has been tremendous. It is a tight knit community were parents make new friends among themselves. The school hosts many community evenings and events to get the families together and keep everyone informed about developments. I highly recommend Anami!

I called multiple times to figure what was going on and whether our daughter's name was still on the list. I kept being transferred from one person to the next and the call would always end up with someone promising to call back at a later date. Certainly, no one ever called us. Finally in July we got an email saying that our daughter's name had been taken off the waiting list, stating that we had decided for her not to attend (not the case at any point).

We've been at Primrose LW for just over 2 years now. My son has been attending since he was 3…read moremonths old. We've been in 5 different (age range) classrooms and have had an amazing experience in each one. (Young infants, older infants, young tots, older tots, and Early preschool) My son loves his teachers and his friends. They've always done hands on lesson plans, even in the young infant room. He's learned so much from being here and I have to praise the staff for that! I'm also grateful that they're willing to do the "messy" activities with the kids, ie paint, water, markers, etc that I would personally have a conniption with, at home, at his age. I've noticed, the older he's gotten, the more difficult it is to get him to "want" to go home in the evenings at pick up, solely because he enjoys his school so much. And that's a huge testament to the environment at Primrose. And while tuition can be a tough pill to swallow, I do believe the cost does go towards ensuring a high quality staff, safety standards, and learning environment. I would (and do) recommend Primrose LW to anyone in the area!

Every morning, my little baby would smile as soon as she was greeted by Ms. Aury. You could just feel the warmth and love radiating out of the infant room! The facility is new and very clean and we really enjoyed the daily updates and photos we received through the app. This place is very special and we are lucky to have found it.

We switched our 1.5 year old here from a different daycare that we were at for a year. After a…read morelittle over a month at dogwood, I'm impressed! They exceeded all expectations, and I am realizing what childcare SHOULD be like compared to the old daycare. Dogwood excels in the following areas that I find important: Communication: The staff is prompt to communicate on all platforms, through the app, email, and phone. Food: they send out the weekly meal plan, and it's always healthy and nutritious food that my son loves. He's a 99th percentile guy, and so he eats a lot and is never hungry when I pick him up (unlike our old daycare). He probably eats better than me most days here! Staff: I can't say enough great things about the management and teachers here. From the moment we walk in, there's a smiling face at the front desk available to help with anything we need. The teachers clearly love what they do, my son loves them so much. After a year of challenging drop off and pickups with tears at the old place, it's refreshing that there hasn't been a bad handoff since the 2nd week. He even tried to go back in after picking him up he likes it so much. Facility: it's a beautiful facility and CLEAN!! Ample parking, and well thought out. Photos: I have received photos every day, to me this is important as the old daycare I was lucky to get 1 photo a month. They even put little text with it sometimes. This makes going to work and leaving my son at school a lot easier. To summarize this very long review, Dogwood is excellent and my only regret is not coming here sooner. We do drive 10 minutes further because we feel the level of care our son receives is worth it.
