Not a good school. Management is horrible. Got thrown up on and the boss gave me her clothes and was not allowed to go home. I was not okay with how some teachers handled kids. Licensing need to do a full repair on this school. They need to better themselves on some things.

We love Primrose School of Willow Glen! Even before the pandemic we appreciated their teaching methods, amazing staff and commitment to supporting our kids. But it was as the pandemic progressed that the staff became more like family. They worked hard to maintain a safe learning environment for all the students and staff, and they pivoted quickly to ensure concerns were met. We’ve had the pleasure of getting to know a majority of the staff throughout the last 4 years. Everyone is kind, friendly and supportive. We’re especially grateful to Ms Pearl. She was instrumental in guiding our son throughout his kindergarten year (their only kindergarten class) and teaching him all the strong foundations that he needed for the first grade. It wasn’t just curriculum either. She helped the students develop their social and behavioral skills and best of all, they had so much FUN!! He and his kindergarten classmates scored well above national standards in literacy and mathematics in their assessments and the momentum has continued. Our son adapted to the first grade extremely well and is already exceeding or nearing first grade expectations just a few months in to the school term. Thanks Primrose!!

My great nephew attends Primrose School of Willow Glen and I have been extremely impressed. As an elementary school teacher and administrator myself, I know what to look for! It's all there: a clean and safe facility, a kind and professional staff, a rich curriculum, and developmentally appropriate learning materials and activities. He is happy to go to school each day and his parents are delighted with the positive attitudes toward learning (and life!) he is developing there.

Our 3 year-old daughter has been at Primrose for over a year now, and we love it. The staff is AMAZING, the curriculum is well-planned and well-executed, and she is really thriving there. Our active daughter needs a lot of structure, and this school provides that for her. She's also getting a great preschool education - she's learning letters, numbers, seasons, rhyming, writing, etc., and there is also plenty of time for free play, artwork, and outdoor play. They also provide all meals and snacks, which makes life for busy, working parents much easier. And they send pictures throughout the day, which I love. It's great to see what my daughter is up to all day. The teachers are incredible, patient, kind, and loving. Our daughter needs some extra attention settling down for her nap, and the teachers will rub her back and give her lots of love. The director, Jackie, is also amazing and really cares about the students and makes time for the parents as well. He's got his eyes and ears on everything going on at the school, and we know our daughter is in great hands. I would highly recommend the school!

Every child learns at their own pace because every child is unique. At Primrose schools, teachers use a variety of tools throughout the year to collaborate with families and monitor each child’s progress.

We call our curriculum the Balanced Learning® approach. It is designed to inspire children to think with creativity, compassion and resourcefulness. Primrose school teachers not only guide children as they learn letters, numbers, science and more, but they also weave in character development and life skills opportunities throughout the day so children can develop social and relationship skills. ​
