This summer camp has gone way down hill and unfortunately the management of the childcare program…read moredoesn't seem to care. The managers are not on site, and rarely, if ever, visited the location last summer. We have gone to camp here for four consecutive summers. Previously the summer camp was AMAZING. Under the care of Ms Isabel, who unfortunately left in June of 2024, the camp was well run, the campers and staff all seemed happy, and for kids like my son who have more difficulty in social settings, they did a great job with accommodations. We recruited all of our friends to join us at the camp, and things rapidly fell apart. Fast forward to Summer of 2024 after Isabel left, the camp was a disaster. I was able to leave with my kids without telling anyone, they rarely had the sign out system that worked so no one knew who was able to pick up the kids anyway. Our friends pulled their kids from camp after severe bullying and our kids were out in 100+ degree heat for hours several days a week having unorganized time. Just recently, as we were trying to make a pivot for out of school days to another option, my son was "lost" for an hour before anyone realized he wasn't in his group. He was sent home for going inside because his counselor couldn't find him. When I was called they told me he wandered outside but in reality he went inside and sat by the managers office for an hour before anyone approached him. The next day he was forced to play a game (he's autistic and noise is an issue for him and we have accommodations in place for this sort of thing) or told that he would have to be picked up by me. He was hit from behind and hit the floor, ultimately breaking his front two teeth. When I was called, the counselor made it seem like no big deal and told me he "may have chipped a tooth" which in actuality resulted in emergency dental surgery. Long story short, this will cost us thousands of dollars, and I can't even get an email back from the YMCA to see what next steps are, or to cancel my membership. Other friends have been tempted to call CPS due to the lack of regard these young counselors have for the kids. They may be affordable for camp, but with the sign up just around the corner, I needed to say my piece. I don't feel safe with my kids at this location and can't imagine they will get it together in time for summer with the amount of competent adults they have lost over the years.

If I could give more stars I would. Emily Honeyman as a manager goes above and beyond the call of…read moreduty. She's out there in the dead of cold to care for a clients sick horse or breaking waters that have frozen. She maintains all the rings multiple times per week. During the recent barn break-ins she offered solutions for parking to keep the clients safe. If you need extra food for your horse, she has your back. My horses have never looked better and are very happy. The board is quite affordable and the amenities are huge. I've paid more at other barns and had to use portable bathrooms. The kitchen is not only heated but has a real bathroom. It makes me sad when trainers who come there to build their business end up being untruthful and don't pay their bills. It's not ok for the clients of those trainers to then leave very rude reviews. There are plenty of clients there that have been residents for MANY years and they are loyal to this barn including two large animal vets that spend so much of their time at the barn attending to the resident horses! If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy quality time with your horse, or to have your horse in training with one of the trainers at the facility, have open space to retire an old friend, or have a box stall with a run (with self care options) this is your place and if Emily isn't available to personally give you a tour then she will find one of the friendly staff members to fill in.

We were grateful to find space at Primrose when it first opened and the first few months were great but we quickly realized that this school had a staffing problem when teachers began to leave. I am going to start with my more recent experience with Primrose as I do think they are starting to get things under control. My daughter is very social and agreeable and shined at Primrose. She regularly was praised via "Happygrams" and made some of her best friends here. In the past year, she has pretty much kept the same teachers and has done well in Pre-K. We had a rocky start with lots of change over in teachers, front desk staff, and directors in the beginning but I feel like Primrose is starting to hit their stride. It seems like the directors are on top of things and Ms Anakay and Ms Raelynn deserve a special shout out for their work at the school as we wouldn't have stayed without them. My son's experience was the polar opposite. My son went through 3 teachers in the first 8 months the school was opened. When an inexperienced teacher became the lead teacher, my then 5 year old son was disciplined unfairly by being separated from the group, told to eat lunch facing the back of the room away from his peers, and I was given notices to sign in front of him every day. All of the kids pegged him as a bad kid and wouldn't play with him, after being his friend prior. We are still dealing with self worth from this time period. I brought up bringing in a therapist to watch the class to management, I brought up what was being done in the classroom only to find that they were not keeping good records on his behavior, etc. When I talked to the director (who has since been let go) she talked me out of seeking help from Brain Balance. Luckily we quickly pulled him from the school and got him into therapy. The support we feel from his current school is amazing by contrast. Ultimately I think this school is great if you have a kid that is by the book. My daughter was very happy there and felt safe. I think she got a good education as well. However, if you have a child that has behavioral challenges I would look elsewhere. The damage done to my child has taken years to reverse from and could have been rectified with better communication, policy, and teachers. They are just not well equipped to handle this kind of student, and at least in my experience there was no way for us to move forward without pulling him immediately even though that meant us having to take unexpected leave from work to accommodate. I would like to see the owners really look at how to retain their good people. When schools like this are started for more of a financial incentive than an education based incentive, I could tell the difference with the way the staff turned over. Our last school had 1 teacher leave in 3 years. We watched many of our favorite teachers at this school move on over the years and it would be a shame to lose those who keep the spirit of Primrose going.
