The leadership team and staff at Primrose of Ward Parkway is unmatched! We’ve been with the daycare since our child was an infant and from day 1 have felt comfortable when dropping off every morning. They did an incredible job navigating the pandemic as well. Our child has learned an incredible amount through the curriculum and through socializing with all children. We love going to school everyday!

We have been a part of this school for almost 2 years and have had such a wonderful experience. The staff is incredibly professional and friendly, and it’s so apparent how much they love the kids. I have always felt my kids are in great hands and they enjoy coming to school. I would highly recommend this school!

We just finished up 2 years at Primrose Ward Parkway. We had a great experience at the school. The school plans so many fun activities for the kiddos. The school is organized, clean, and easy to communicate with. I always knew he was in good hands when he was at school. All around good experience for us.

I recently toured the facility. The facility is nice, clean, and everyone was friendly. I was not a fan of having for fork over $150 to get on a waiting list with no idea if/when you would be able to start. Getting on a waiting list shouldn't cost anything so that was a red flag for how they view their service. Secondly there was a teacher in one of the toddler room who was yelling at the kids. Not like trying to be heard raised voice, but yelling at specific kids. She yelled multiple times and the kids were so accustomed to it they didn't even stop what they were doing. The part that really was unsettling to me was when a door flew open to a room and teach was dragging a kid out of the room by their forearm. She was pulling him to the office. He broke loose of her hold and she cupped her arm around his neck and pulled him around a corner. No stopping to de-escalate the situation to calm down, just brunt force. This all happened in front of the director. Did she say anything to help de-escalate, like the child's name or even the instructors name to help? No, her total lack of response indicated to me that this is a common, allowed occurrance here. I promptly recycled the documents they gave me as soon as I got home. If you have a child who goes here, a spirited young african american boy who is probably tall for his age, with 1 inch hair, blue/black swimming trunks with green stripes and is in a room on the right side of the toddler room and he got into "trouble" on 7/30/21, know he was not treated well that day. What glitters isn't always gold.

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. This helps them understand each child’s individual needs and provide the personalized support that helps them excel. ​

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. ​
