After a few years with an in home sitter we decided to switch to a daycare with more of a school setting and went with Primrose. I wish we would have started sooner! The staff quickly became like family and adore my kids! Our kids built such great friendships and the other families are amazing! We love everything about our primrose family

I'm long overdue to share a review of Primrose School of Symmes but better late than never. :-) When our family needed to find a daycare & school closer to home due to work assignments, we fell in love with PSOS. We had attended a Primrose prior (through an on-site corporate partnership location) but the feel here was just different. Very inclusive, friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The teachers and staff are wonderful. My only child then was 2 years old and had some food issues (still does!) and the entire staff took/takes it very seriously. Going as far as asking for a list of foods so they could grocery shop on our behalf for school. Insert *wow*! Our previously facility said "bring in things she can eat". Here, our first child went from an extreme mom-clinger to, now 4.5 years old, happily going into school and rocking it! She's excited when it's a "school day" and not a "home weekend day." We've been able to see her develop from timid to confident and be excited about her own learning. She LOVES school. When she starts Kindergarten this Fall at a private parochial school we know she will be prepared socially and developmentally. We're comfortable with the upcoming transition knowing she will be used to the structure. We attribute that to the community of teachers and staff who take a genuine interest in her. When our second child started here as an infant we were able to experience the hands-on curriculum from the start. Now at 2 years old, it's amazing to see her understanding and learning so much...so quickly! While all children are different, we can see a noticeable difference in her learning & development at this point in time. She charges into the building every morning like she owns the place...is friendly with other children, teachers and staff. Even little things like knowing how to help put things away at home, saying please & thank you and understanding "gentle" are things we know come from demonstrated learning and reinforcement at PSOS...and validate our continued choice for enrollment here. We love the experience she is having and we know she is loving it too! We love how there is a conscious effort to share on the Procare App. Everyday we get pictures, videos, meal updates and what each days planned curriculum was. We can drop a message and get a quick response on anything. We like to look through the daily report each night with them to reinforce what they did during the day. It's a little things but it is so huge, too. When Covid-19 hit and the school was mandated to be closed by the Governor, we noticed a huge gap in our kids behavior. It was clear they rely & thrive on the structure, social interaction and learning they get daily here. PSOS handled it wonderfully... providing resources, zoom calls so the children could interact with each other and communicated clearly on next steps, precautions upon reopening and requirements for if exposure happened upon reopen. We were impressed with the approach given it was an unprecedented situation. I'd recommend visiting PSOS if you are looking for a daycare with a highly reputable curriculum in a building that fosters learning and love. I think it's important to know that the people here are kind. They have the best of intentions. The care and safety of all the children is a priority. There is always an open dialogue. The well-balanced food menu directly correlates to developing kids bodies to be well fed so they can learn well. When you are considering or even comparing, it can be hard to prioritize a choice just on cost (in our opinion that's the only apples-to-apples comparison one can make in a school choice). For my family, we can honestly say it's the feeling we get at drop off & pickup that makes us put our hand-over-heart with happiness because we know our each of our children has exactly what they uniquely need. Having others love them is an unparalleled feeling!

I cannot say enough regarding the teachers and staff of Primrose School of Symmes. They are patient, kind and helpful to us as parents. We are amazed at the new things our child learns every week and are appreciative of the time and energy spent with her on a daily basis. She enjoys going to school and has developed many friendships. They have done an amazing job throughout the pandemic to ensure the children are safe and have handled many challenges with grace. Thank you Primrose!
