See What Families Are Saying

My family absolutely loves Primrose. Prior to my son attending this school we thought his school was fine, but once we switched to Primrose, we were amazed at the difference. He was writing his name within a couple weeks and only wrote the first letter of his name without assistance before. He loves this school so much that he is usually sad to leave when I come to pick him up. As a working parent, it is often difficult to be away from your child all day, but it helps to know that he is so happy there.

Primrose School of Hilliard West Parent

I did a lot of research before deciding to take my daughter to Primrose. Coming from a different country made me a little apprehensive on the kind of environment she would be exposed to, as English was not her first language. I am so happy with my choice. She absolutely loves to go to school everyday, she loves her teachers and friends and the whole staff. Everyday I am amazed by all the things she learns and all the progress she makes in relation to kids from different schools. The teachers are absolutely great, they are very professional and caring. It is such a warm and safe environment and I feel confident that she is so well taken care of while I am at work.
