    Beware if looking for before /aftercare for your child if they have an IEP or special needs. A few…read moreweeks ago, I called and explained to Brittany (enrollment coordinator ) that my child would attend the local elementary school in the special education program however I require before /aftercare due to my work. She explained that they have dealt with this type of situation before she asked that I send his IEP which I promptly sent within a couple business days. They then contacted me for a tour two days later . After taking time off to tour the facility and speaking with them several times. I received an email from Brittany stating that may not be able to accommodate my son. I called the next business day and Brittany basically stated that they could not accommodate my son after the director reviewed the IEP in detail. Honestly, it felt like they were passing bias on my child .I called and complained to the Director ( Ms. Chaz) about my experience as they could have told me this prior to wasting my time doing a tour (as they'd been sent the IEP prior) and stringing me along for nearly two weeks. It also put me in a position where I had to scramble to find alternative childcare. Ms. Chaz did state that they would be able to offer a 30 day trial and that I should have been offered this ( I was not offered this by Brittany ) . However, at that point, the experience turned me completely off and I decided not to place my child there . I am writing this review because people need to know about my experience and the stress it caused. I also hope that they will learn from this situation and treat future perspective parents better in the future as well as be more respectful to parents time . I could have made a bigger fuss as daycares are required to accommodate kid with special needs according to the ADA .

    We attended this Goddard School for almost four years. We absolutely loved it. We had a great…read moreexperience with all of the teachers and the administration staff. I would highly recommend this school to any parent in search of a great private education. It's a great feeling to know that your children are in good hands from the infant class to the private Kindergarten class.

    Like Heidi, I have never reviewed anything online but as a longtime parent of Primrose Johns Creek…read moreNorthwest, I felt a response to the review by Amy L. just had to be written. I was fortunate enough to spend the first six months of my daughter's life at home with her. When I was preparing to return to work fulltime I looked at every daycare in a 5 mile radius. When I say look, I mean more than just looking at a website - I went and visited everyone. When I walked into Primrose for the first time, I felt the warmth of the staff immediately. Director Caryn sat down with me and answered all the questions I could think of and more. Then I got a tour - not just of the infant room but every room. I met every teacher and staff member. Every classroom I walked into was full of calm, happy children engaged in age-appropriate learning. After looking at the other options, including the Goddard School, it was a no brainer that my daughter was going to Primrose. So, in March 2010, I left my daughter at Primrose for the first time. Needless to say, I was a mess leaving my daughter for the first time - NOT because I didn't trust the staff - NOT because I thought my daughter's needs wouldn't be met - because I was going to miss her terribly. I stood in the lobby and sobbed while Caryn and Miriam tried to comfort me and assure me that my precious one would be fine. I arrived at work to find an email waiting for me from Primrose attached was a picture of my happy daughter playing. Then, a few hours later, I got a call from Caryn just to assure me that things were going great and not to worry. This was not an exception. This is their standard practice. Throughout my daughter's time there, I get random emails with pictures and phone calls when they know I might just want to know how things are going. The staff knows that their job isn't just inside their classroom, it extends outward to the parents. Throughout my daughter's time at Primrose the communication has remained stellar. Daily reports went home every day until she started in the Pre-K classroom where we receive weekly reports. When I or my husband picked her up we knew how much she ate, how long she slept, her disposition, her favorite activities, and when diapers were changed or as she grew when she went potty. Within a month, the entire staff knew her name and ours. They ask about our weekends and vacations. They are an extension of our family. I have never seen teachers or administrative staff have so much patience with children. Time-outs are a last resort of a child acting up. Since all classrooms have a minimum of two teachers, one is able to take a child acting out to the side to calmly try and work through what is going on. They spend countless hours with what I would call a "problem child" trying to help them better deal with conflict. I have seen this in action numerous times. No place is perfect and the times we have had concerns, they have been met with genuine concern from Caryn, Brandi, Miriam, and the owners Rich and Ginger. Issues were addressed quickly and they also made sure we always knew what the resolution was. I have NEVER heard Caryn or any of the staff speak negatively about any child or parent. They are extremely discrete. After 4 years, I can say that the staff of Primrose are consummate professionals. A brief comment on artwork. My daughter has come home with scads of artwork since her first week in the infant class. We have a flag made with her foot and thumb prints in a frame from her time in the infant room. In fact, she come home with so much artwork, I can't keep it all. Kids get sick. Any group of people in close quarters on a daily basis will "share" germs. One person gets a cold in my office and it will make the rounds. You cannot expect any daycare to be germ-free. The staff does send sick children home immediately and is stringent in following through to make sure the child does not return until they are no longer contagious. I know this is a long review but I think my point has been made - Primrose School of Johns Creek northwest is an exceptional place and I feel very strong about it. I feel the staff's genuine love for each child every morning. Caryn Price is an amazing director, keeping the perfect balance or caring and discipline. Brandi Bounds, assistant director (rightly promoted into this position from teacher) has a smile and hug for every child. The owners Rich and Ginger are always onsite and know every child by name. I cannot imagine leaving our precious daughter anywhere else every day. I never worry about her safety, health or happiness when I kiss her goodbye. Aristotle sad that "excellence is a habit" and the staff of Primrose exhibit this habit every day.

    We've been a using Primrose for 2 years now, the constant is the lead teachers. One who stands out…read morein particular is Karindeep. She and her assistant teacher are very attentive the children. My eldest child speaks of her fondly. I would recommend Primrose.

    Extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience…read more We enrolled our child in this school based on very specific promises: a low student-to-teacher ratio (two teachers for every ten students), qualified early childhood educators, consistent staffing, freshly prepared meals and snacks, and support with developmental milestones such as potty training. Unfortunately, none of these promises have been fulfilled. Staffing has been a constant issue. The promised ratio is routinely ignored, and there is rarely any consistency in caregivers. Teachers rotate constantly, and on several occasions the individuals filling in were not teachers at all, but maintenance or housekeeping staff. When asked directly, several attendants confirmed they do not have early childhood development credentials. This level of turnover and lack of qualification is deeply concerning. While I have met some team members who are caring and well-intentioned, positive attitudes cannot compensate for systemic issues and unmet commitments. At the cost charged, parents deserve reliability and transparency, and sadly this school has not delivered that. For this reason, I no longer feel comfortable entrusting my child's care here. Despite several months of attendance, there has been no observable progress in learning or potty training. There is no structure, curriculum, or evidence of intentional teaching. The food offering was another major misrepresentation. We were told meals and snacks would be freshly prepared; instead, children are regularly served prepackaged food. Cleanliness and supervision are the most alarming aspects. The facility often smells strongly of feces. On multiple occasions, we entered classrooms to find babies crying and clearly in need of diaper changes, with no staff attending to them. In one particularly disturbing instance, a soiled diaper appeared to have been left over an entire weekend, resulting in an overpowering odor. During the second week of January, I formally communicated my deep disappointment and my intention to remove my son from the school effective in February. I was informed that a 30-day notice was required. Even so, the concerns that led to this decision were never addressed or corrected. When enrolling my son in a new school and explaining our negative experience and clear expectations for quality and care, the very first question we were asked was: "Is it Crème de la Crème?" That alone speaks volumes. Crème de la Crème's reputation precedes them, and it is clear that we are not the only parents who have reached this conclusion. Other parents have already made the decision to remove their children from the school. This school is expensive, and parents are sold a vision of high-quality care, professionalism, and nurturing attention. What we experienced was the opposite: chronic understaffing, unqualified caregivers, serious hygiene deficiencies, and completely unmet developmental needs. I truly wanted this school to work. Instead, it has become an extremely costly disappointment, and I strongly urge other parents to thoroughly research and ask very specific questions before enrolling their children.

    Everything is great about this school. Beautiful inside! Especially leadership is wonderful! School…read moreis clean and inviting!
