See What Families Are Saying

Our daughter has been enrolled in Primrose at Eldridge Parkway since she was 12 weeks old and we absolutely love it. The school is extremely clean and the entire staff is friendly. Her Infant A & B teachers feel like family to us and always have a very thorough report for us about her day and her development. Not only do they keep track of their activities during the day, but they also make arts and crafts with the kids (infants!), provide positive feedback in the form of a happygram, Ms Shelly sends weekly newsletters with the childrens development points and progress and we just get the feeling that they always have what's best for the child in mind. The school is also technologically savy, sending emails, text messages and updates via the Remind app if you want to stay connected to the school for reminders and other important information. At 12 months old she can sign to let us know if she is hungry, thirsty or needs help and even sings along to some of the Primrose songs. Even my son, who does not go to school there, feels welcome and enjoys picking up her sister because he is always greeted in a friendly way. I would recommend this school to anyone!
I like the teachers. It feels like a true partnership between us and the educators.
I love how there is constant updates throughout the day for my infant. I never wonder when he was last changed or fed. I get lots of pictures to keep me in the loop on their activities. The teachers love my baby, and he loves them. The atmosphere from the receptionist to the teachers to the bus driver is always so kind and loving.
Really great staff.
