Do NOT send your child here if they have any level of special needs or behavioral concerns. Staff is dismissive and uncaring. With the exception of a few teachers (who are grossly underpaid for their level of education and expertise). This Primrose does not hold itself to the high quality and professional standards of any other Primrose we have been associated with. My child has ADHD and he repeatedly told me during his 6 months in attendance that everyone hates him, both students and staff. They continuously pushed for him to be on more medication than his doctor deemed appropriate and demanded we pick him up by 3pm, despite us paying full tuition to have him cared for until 6. After one “late” pick up (4pm), they messaged at 6pm on a Monday to tell me he was not welcome back. On this day, he was picked up while playing quietly and we were told he had a good day. Please send your child anywhere else unless you are comfortable with money driven, uncaring staff raising your child during the day.

Update: 4 days are our email the owner finally emailed and dismissively acknowledged the issue… I have documented all the communications we will be reporting this to the NC DHSS out of concerns for other kids in this center… When i pick my 5 year old son today , another kid was pinning him down and hitting him both the substitute teachers were looking at their phones/ipad, when i raised it with the director Candice she found it funny...The owner was not present and she would refuse to provide the owner's number. We won't be sending our son there and worry about the safety of the other little kids who are there with untrained substitute teachers...

My family has been SO happy with Primrose at Afton Village! Although my son has only been at Primrose for a short time, everyone feels like family. The teachers, directors and everyone I have interacted with at Primrose have been amazing. During COVID-19, they meet me at the door for drop off/pick up, but have never made me feel rushed. My son’s teachers do a great job at sending updates and pics throughout the day. They also keep him on schedule. They do special “happy grams” and everything feels super personal. The curriculum is amazing; I can’t believe how much he is learning as an infant!

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. ​
