Our daughters (5 and 19mo) started Primrose Plano at Deerfield and it was the best decision we ever made. From the moment I walked in the door to view their facility I knew it was the place for them. The entire staff is welcoming and always there to answer questions or concerns. Our oldest will be starting Kindergarten in August and couldn't be more prepared. I am amazed everyday by the things she learns (Ms. Smith is amazing)! Our youngest started out not really talking, after only four months she has not only learned more words but also sign language (her teachers are beyond caring and the best). The facility is always clean and the kids love the menu items (a plus considering one child is very picky). I could go on and on about how much we as a family love Primrose Plano at Deerfield but I urge you to check them out, you will not be disappointed!

We’re proud parents of four amazing kids, all Primrose graduates. Alec, 26, teaches high school math in Austin ISD after graduating from the University of Utah.

Quinn, 9, is an enthusiastic baseball player, and Erin, 6, is all about dancing and everything girly. Both Erin and Quinn attend a dual-language elementary school where they are becoming quite fluent in Spanish. Outside of school, you’ll often find us playing with our bernedoodle, Coco, and taking every opportunity we can to travel!
As parents, we understand how important the decision of choosing childcare is for your unique child. We are confident you will be impressed with our school as we partner with you to nurture and educate your child. We look forward to meeting you!

As a newly single Dad, it was important for me to find a place where my toddler daughter would feel comfortable, be safe and, as an added bonus, develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually. I hit the jackpot when I found Primrose Deerfield. I felt the warmth and passion from the first phone call with the owner, and I knew from that moment this school was a special place. The staff are incredible, and my daughter is happy and thriving in ways that I never imagined. She loves going to school. She has made friends and has learned her numbers, ABCs, colors, days of the week and countless other things at an incredible pace. I also know when she is there, she is cherished, treasured, and protected. In fact, I trust the staff as if they were my own family. As a new parent, I have truly found peace of mind with Primrose Deerfield; they have my heart!
