    Amazing staff! They have taken care of my son so well for the last 3 years. I really can't thank them enough.

The indoor and outdoor environment is one of a kind and the teachers/management make you feel like family. They truly have mastered the art of school for our young. I could have not chosen a better path for my kids to go learn and create long lasting memories with incredible guidance.

    I had high hopes for Greenhouse Montessori. I loved the…read morevision of outdoor learning, the enrichment programs discussed online, and the thought of a supportive community. I also really liked the values they spoke of. In the beginning things started out amazing and then quickly just went downhill and looking back I realize a lot now I didn't notice at the time we were with the school. And to be fair, teachers like Ms. Andrea and Ms. Theresa (often in the front office) are truly wonderful. But overall, the experience was disappointing especially with the Director Ms. Jennifer and how different things were from what's promised. First, the outdoor learning was one of the biggest things we were excited about, but when my child clearly desired/needed more time outside than inside, it was a constant issue. I was told staffing made it difficult, which goes against everything they promote online. Other programs like "live animal enrichment" and "preschool philanthropy"were talked about but didn't actually exist at all the 2024/2025 school year. And with the lower elementary program shutting down this next year (2025/2026), it of course raised red flags about the school's stability. There's also limited childcare, no after school care, no break care, and only 16 summer spots I was told. Again very different than their online promises. Bringing it back to the hardest part though, our interaction with the Director. I heard about not great interactions had with her but it wasn't until we neared ending our time with the school I finally experienced it first hand. When I had tried to advocate for my son/family, I was met with coldness, defensiveness, and zero empathy. I mean zero. Felt like professional gaslighting at its finest. Instead of working with me, I was told my son was just "no longer a fit." She seemed to be avoiding discomfort rather than doing what was best for my son. And looking back there was a pattern of families being pushed out when they advocated too much. There's also a noticeable lack of diversity, and manyyy kids were encouraged to get IEPs only to later be told they don't belong there any more because Greenhouse couldn't work with them. Lots of kids dropped like flies from the programs. It made me question how much they really support inclusion and individualized learning (like they claim). I really wanted to believe in this school. But the gap between their online image and reality is too big to ignore. I hope in the future they make the necessary changes to be fully in alignment with their promises because they do have great potential and loving teachers.

From the friendly front desk staff to every teacher and staff member, it's clear that they're dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing environment. One of the things I appreciate most is how much the school emphasizes both kindness and education. They have events nearly every week that bring families together and build a strong sense of community. My daughter has flourished here--she's become a confident reader and has learned so much during her time in kindergarten. She's now fully prepared and excited to start 1st grade! I believe education and morals start at home, but having a school that reinforces those values is such a gift. Communication is top-notch--they use an app to keep parents informed, whether it's updates on classroom activities or even small incidents like a fall on the playground. I always feel in the loop and confident that my daughter is in great hands. We feel safe and secure every day she's there, and I'm excited to say that my son will be starting preschool at Montessori Education Center next year. I couldn't imagine a better place for my children to grow and learn.

Jennifer and her entire team of teachers are absolutely exceptional. They encourage our girls to explore, create, sing, dance, and be in nature. They handle interpersonal communication -both between children and with parents- with ease and compassion. They grow plants and take care of chickens. I couldn't have dreamed up a better school for our family! I am beyond grateful that this will be their first "school" experience and it is instilling a love of learning and creating friendships in a safe, comforting environment.

The teachers here are incredibly well-trained in nurturing and guiding kids aged 1-4, and I can see the results every day. One of the biggest milestones for us has been potty training. My daughter is getting the support she needs at school, and it's clicking! She comes home so happy and fulfilled, singing, dancing, and playing. I was initially so worried about putting her in daycare, as she was a Velcro baby and would always scream when she wasn't with me. But the environment is so warm and welcoming that she quickly became comfortable and now loves going to school. What makes this place truly special is the variety of enriching activities. My daughter helps take care of the chickens, tends the organic garden, and enjoys reading, drawing, dancing, and playing with her friends. The magic these teachers create in their classrooms is truly amazing--they know just how to care for my baby girl, and I feel so lucky to have found them. I also love how transparent and communicative the school is. I receive daily text message updates, so I always know what's going on with my daughter, which gives me so much peace of mind. The school worked with us on our budget and schedule, and I really appreciate how upfront they are with pricing and schedules on their website--no hidden surprises. Ms. Jennifer, the owner, made us feel like family from day one, and I'm so grateful for the warm, nurturing environment she's created. I honestly feel like we hit the jackpot with this preschool. It's the best possible place for our daughter, and I would recommend it to any parent looking for a magical, loving environment where their child can grow and thrive!

The curriculum they have on their website is actually what they do, my son has learned so much here. Plus all front office staff will know your child's name, which I think is so sweet. PS--never has smelled like dirty diapers/chemicals in the hallways. Classrooms are very clean.

    5 stars - Primrose Paradise! Primrose School of West Gilbert…read moreis like stepping into a real-life Hogwarts for tiny humans. From the moment my son walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming with laughter, curiosity, and just a hint of nostalgia with that faint Play-Doh scent. The teachers and staff are superheroes with the patience of saints and secret powers to keep parents sane (for real)! It's a place where kids paint Picasso-esque masterpieces and conduct scientific experiments that rival NASA:) To my wife and I, this school is more than just education; it's a very safe enchanting wonderland where giggles, growth, and greatness come together. If you want your little ones to thrive and have a blast while doing so, Primrose is the place to be. Trust me, you'll leave with a heart full of joy and backpacks full of arts and crafts! Primrose School of West Gilbert is a paradise that fosters learning, laughter, and creativity. It's the bees' knees and the Hogwarts of schools, all in one magical package.
