She accommodated our schedules and made us feel as if Hudson would be coming forever. The staff in his infant room made me feel at ease and welcomed him.

When I was looking for day care for my infant, I was frustrated that I couldn't find any…read morecomprehensive reviews on local centers by real parents. So, here's me paying it forward for other busy parents who want to search for daycare: Cost: We consistently paid around $1350-1525 depending on which room our child was in. He started in infant and moved up to toddler. Pros: - Wonderful teachers. Most have degrees, and all of them clearly love children. They seem happy as employees, which is great. - Director on site is the owner. You can tell she really cares about her staff, the kids, and the families. She's extremely accommodating - we changed our schedules multiple times and she was able to help us each time. - Easily the cleanest, most updated site that we visited. - Our son loved it there! - They are great at transitioning children out of the infant room to toddler room to make the kids feel really comfortable. - Great communication with parents: they send multiple photos a day through e-mail, and keep great records of what went on each day with your child. They let you know when he hits milestones and is progressing with new skills. - Great outdoor area - Fun events (bouncy house, fire trucks coming on site, etc) - The hours are great, and extend until 6pm. - Automatic tuition withdraw is a nice option Cons: - Cost. We toured a few places, and it was the most expensive in the area, and included the least amount of "extras." - you have to bring your own bibs, sippy cups, and breakfast. For the price of tuition, I was always frustrated that I had so much work to do to get him ready for daycare in the morning. - constant messy clothes. I wish they'd invest in better art bibs/smocks, and I wish they'd provide bibs for meal time. If i forgot to send one, I knew for sure he would come home in a new outfit. - Food costs extra (about $60/month for two snacks and lunch each day) and doesn't include breakfast. - Some of the food was unimpressive at times (bread and butter for snack?), not organic, lots of breaded chicken dishes, etc Overall: the price was worth it for us, especially when he was an infant. We were really confident in the care he got, and he learned so much. We loved all of the art projects he brought home, and the communication they had with families.

When we first found out we were pregnant with our first child we knew we didn't want home based…read moredaycare, we wanted a center. In our area, the options are fairly limited, but we toured a couple places. Little Folks was our 2nd place we toured, as soon as we walked in the door we knew it was 1,000% better than the first place we went. We LOVED Katie, who we interviewed with, and we loved the center, the windows, the colors, the environment, everything. When we had our daughter and she started out there we were so happy with the care she received and that she seemed so happy there and her teachers were so great. We felt she was in a great daycare. Now that she is 2.5 and we have daughter number 2 there, we truly feel that Little Folks isn't just our kids 'daycare' Little Folks is an extension of our family. Our girls spend the majority of their day there, and to have that trust and comfort knowing that your children are not only safe, but also happy, learning, playing and absolutely THRIVING, that is something that you can't find just anywhere. Thank you Little Folks, for helping us raise our girls to be the best they can be. We love you guys!

They refused to acknowledge that my 2 year old old son needs to do activities to keep clam. All they do is let the kids run around and play and they don't teach them anything! They tried to blame my son for bad behavior in other kids when he just needed a little structure. They had a camera crew there today to promote their business and they put my son and all the "bad kids" in another room so they wouldn't be seen. I've never seen such a fake place in my life! Your child will learn nothing and the staff will do nothing to fix it. Again, DO NOT send your child here!

My wife and I have two boys (4 and 1) who have attended Primrose since they were 4 months old. We…read morehave looked at more expensive options and less expensive options and are convinced that Primrose is the right place for our boys. I simply could not disagree more with the other reviewer. The education and development of my boys have been very impressive. The 4yr old was potty trained in just over 2 years. He can read, write and even speak limited Spanish at just over 4yrs. With the limited amount of time my wife and I have with him I firmly believe Primrose is to thank. This is despite some teacher turnover that occurred after a large competitor moved in down the street and actively attempted to recruit away their staff last year. Why did my sons development continue with little relative impact? The curriculum. It simply works. At this age it's the strong controls over what, when and how our children are taught that allows Primrose to be so successful at educating our children. That's not to takeaway from the excellent staff whom we do appreciate. In addition to the education there is also the social development. Our children are not only academically intelligent - they are also polite, caring, social and resilient. Their emotional development appears to be well beyond that of others their age. As I said earlier - with the limited amount of time we get to spend with our boys - I trust Primrose to help develop them into successful students and socially responsible children - and they haven't let me down.

We've watched our twins grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity, and we couldn't be more grateful for the teachers who guide them every day. Communication with staff has also been wonderful. We always feel informed, supported, and welcomed as partners in our children's learning. We are so thankful for the positive, nurturing, and enriching environment they've created.

My daughter uses the parent portal & often shares photos with me which are periodically sent to her on a daily basis. She also shared a folder that was sent home showing progress, assignments & detailing learn goals, etc. The folder was filled with photos of my granddaughter participating in assignments & activities over a period of a few months. Each section of the folder contained handwritten notes about my granddaughter's progress and I was impressed with the fact that every note was positive.
