We receive consistent and clear communication not only on the day to day activities for our child but also broader ongoings of the center which creates a sense of community.

As a cherry on top, they have very reasonable full time rates and if you only need part time or occasional care, they can accommodate. You only pay when your child is there and there is no contract! It is a unique and needed business model in the child care industry and we are lucky to have them!

We relocated to Minnesota and we were stressed about finding a good place for him to learn. We couldn't be happier with our decision. He's currently in pre-k and he learns something new each and every day and their curriculum has a great mix of break out teaching and creativity sessions, to playing with friends and circle time. He has grown by leaps and bounds being at primrose compared to where he was going in our prior state. He's also built some amazing friendships. Other notes...they never close compared to other school districts when it snows. Which has been really nice. The kids will not go play outside if temp is below 15 degrees. Plus another cool thing is the place is always clean! They have a wonderful trick or treat street during Halloween and a Santa meet and greet in December and other wonderful events throughout the year. Travis and Tonya are awesome owners too!

We toured many schools in the area and we like PSW the best. We haven't changed our minds after many years of attending. The staff is either college educated, getting their degree, or have many years of childcare experience. They do not hire summer break college students, etc. This is a big plus for parents and for the children. Another positive for us - the infant cribs are in an area where they can be constantly supervised while sleeping. Some other infant daycare companies have faux bedroom areas that are closed off from the play area. This means that an adult cannot see into the cribs at all times. This concerned me. The location is owned by a husband and wife that reside in Woodbury. It is not a location that part of a larger organization that simply has a manager. The owners are actively involved making sure parents and students alike are enjoying their daily experience. My older kids have learned so much going to "school" there and our kids continue to impress us each day. The kids are exposed to many different things to help them nurture the fun of learning. The nightly recaps of their day are now sent electronically when you check out. Sometimes the recaps include pictures of your child or activities during the day, and that is fun to see. The PSW staff also takes time out on weekends or after school to put on additional activities for children and families. Parents in the Woodbury area should strongly consider PSW.
