Prior to our enrollment at Primrose of Shadow Canyon, we had been at another Primrose. We have been very impressed with Shadow Canyon and their dedication not only to the kids but also the families. Jose, Nydia, and Maria and the endless staff are doing a great job!

We began our search in finding quality child care when our daughter Maria announced we were going to be grandparents…and our lives have never been the same! When Maria realized that she needed quality care for her son and was not able to find anything that met her needs, we were living in Texas at the time and there we discovered Primrose Schools. The moment Nydia walked into that Primrose School, she realized that this was exactly what she wanted for our grandchildren. We moved back to Denver and in April of 2005, we opened the Primrose School at Shadow Canyon. We are proud that both of our grandchildren are Primrose graduates, and we were here to watch them grow every day!
We believe who children become is as important as what they know. We are committed to the Primrose Schools balanced approach of purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers. We strive to offer social, emotional, physical, and intellectual early childhood development that will instill in each child a positive self-esteem and a love of learning. Not only are Primrose Schools academically accredited, like leading elementary and secondary schools are, but the focus that Primrose puts on character development and values is evident as well. Our students are well prepared for elementary school and beyond.
We warmly welcome you and your children to Primrose School at Shadow Canyon.

See What Families Are Saying
When we moved to Colorado from Texas finding wonderful childcare was a major concern for me. We were also leaving behind a lot of family support. In the 2 years since we've lived in Colorado, my two children have both attended Primrose part-time. Primrose at Shadow Canyon has been a lifesaver for us. My mother had health problems and passed away during the month of May and I needed to be in Texas quite a bit that month. My husband works full time so needed the kids to be taken care of each day while I was away and the staff at Shadow Canyon welcomed my children for extra days while I was in Texas. They are more than just a school. A support system when I needed it most. I find sending my children to Primrose at Shadow Canyon is a privilege. The teachers and staff are warm and loving and seem to take joy in being with my children.
My son is three years old and started day care for the first time about six weeks ago. I looked at six different day cares and I am so happy I found Primrose. From the moment we walked in the team was so friendly and welcoming towards me and my son. Since it was his first experience with day care, the teachers and management were very compassionate and understanding. I was told adjusting to day care can take a long time and thanks to Primrose it took three days. I feel like we found a family for my son.
We have two kids at Primrose and couldn't be happier. The owners are always there and have a great rapport with the parents and kids. We feel like part of a huge family-the teachers and staff know us and are always smiling, our kids love their teachers, and everyone is dedicated to making it a great place. I don't think we could find a better place!
