We have been going to Primrose Cinco Ranch for 6 years now and have had all 3 of our kids go through every room and every class. My older 2 kids have been great and no problems. The teachers were outstanding and that is why they do so well in Elementary school. Now, my youngest son decided he would be the wild child and make all of the teachers earn their money. He is 5 years old and started the year off getting marks and disrupting the class. I, for sure thought there was either something wrong with him or he is just very good at being a little boy. Well, there was nothing wrong with him. We have had several meeting with the teachers and the staff and just could not bring it all together. They would not let me give up. They had so much passion for getting him on the right track. We started many different things to help out and one of them was a sticker chart. Out of 14 stickers he could earn, he went from 5-6 each day to no less than 13. Most days, he is getting all of his 14 stickers. Thank you to all of the staff involved, especially Ms Rodgers, whose passion for teaching kids and never giving up is endless. You are incredible and thank you Ms Rodgers and the rest of the involved Primrose staff for never giving up on my child. You have made a huge difference in not just my child's life, but in our family's life as well.
Primrose has been a wonderful and nurturing experience for both of my children. My eldest child attended Primrose of Cinco Ranch for 3 years of pre-school. Upon graduation he was well on his way with a solid foundation ready to conquer Kindergarten in the public schools and is currently a Pre-AP student in the sixth grade earning 94% and higher in every academic subject and participates in the NEHS, National Elementary Honor Society since his fourth grade year. My youngest son has attended Primrose School of Cinco Ranch for 1 year of pre-school, Private Kindergarten, and will be in the first graduating class of their First Grade Program. Words cannot express how satisfied I am with the foundation that has been planted in my son for reading, phonics, writing, mathematical computation, science that is well beyond just basic facts, social studies that revolves around the entire world and embraces different cultural aspects, and the understanding that empathy for others is a vital role to make our society a success. The cross curriculum teaching that Primrose supports creates an environment in which children learn without feeling as though they have just sat at a desk, but felt joy, fun, laughter, and experienced that learning is a part of the world in which they live. Primrose is not just a daycare or pre-school, but a school that nurtures your child, embraces their uniqueness, and prepares them with the most valuable solid academic foundation that is essential for their success throughout their entire life.
We love everyone at Primrose Cinco Ranch! They make dropping our little guy off in the mornings so much easier with their kind and sweet personalities. Our son practically jumps out of our arms to get to his teachers in the morning :)
