We were very concerned as he starts KG this fall, we made the decision to enroll him for Summer camp and no expectations since his behavior seemed not to improve. Well, we were WRONG, he transitioned beautifully, Ms Taylor treated him with lots of patience, love, tenderness, kindness and she dealed with his situation in the most professional way!, all of the daycare staff were amazing, kind, happy, helpful, patient, and professional. The have an interesting curriculum, building is clean and organized, office staff is alway on top of all paperwork and there is field trip every week (during summer camp). My son made friends and he actually is sad that summer camp is over, who could believe I am writing this now?... his fears are GONE and he's so ready to start school next week. He learned how to write his name, oh and perfected his English skills (we ONLY speak Spanish at home). Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!! Money well invested.

I cannot recommend this school. We pulled our son out after he attended for 11 months. Our number…read moreone concern was our son's safety. We brought safety issues to the attention of the staff and directors multiple times. There were several occasions where we picked our son up and he had bruises or cuts that the teachers couldn't explain. At a minimum, once we pointed them out they should have been documented. The teacher would say she didn't see what happened. When I explained my concerns to a director, she said "That's just how the children play with each other". So there appeared to be a lack of concern for preventing or remedying the issue. Our son began to state that he didn't want to go to school. We didn't want our son to develop a negative perception of school or learning that could impact him later on. Primrose is very expensive, and for the money, parents should at least be assured that their children are safe. The last time I spoke to one of the staff members about the issue I said I wanted to take time to brainstorm and come up with potential solutions. I proposed volunteering in the classroom, but the idea was rejected. The rationale given was "state guidelines". At least one other parent was already volunteering; no other school we interviewed indicated that there were state guidelines that would prevent parents from volunteering. The secondary concern was our son's kindergarten readiness. If he was indifferent about attending and worried about whether another child was going to hit or harass him, he would be unable to focus. Also, although I think the balanced learning approach works for some children, it wasn't what our son needed to get him ready for kindergarten. Two other schools we interviewed have children our son's age reading and spelling three to five letter words. That wasn't happening at Primrose. For the reasons above, I can't recommend Primrose.

We moved out of Richmond, and Primrose is one of those places which we sorely missed. We are proud of this facility at Westerre Commons! You are forever cherished. Kudos to you!

Very expensive and did little to improve my children's test scores. It is a very old school prescribed box method of teaching and doesn't take individual into account.
