Prior to attending, she had never been in a school or childcare setting, so we were naturally nervous about the transition. From day one, her teachers, Ms. Zoee and Ms. Annie, made her feel welcomed, supported, and cared for. What has impressed us most is the genuine level of care, patience, and commitment the teachers show to each child. It is clear that they truly love what they do and are invested in helping their students learn, grow, and thrive. The communication, kindness, and attention they provide have made a tremendous difference for both our daughter and our family. As parents, we are incredibly grateful for the positive environment they have created and for the confidence they have helped build in our daughter. We would absolutely recommend Little Sunshine's Playhouse to any parent looking for high-quality childcare and a nurturing place for their little one.

The majority of the teachers who work here are absolutely fantastic, to name a few there's Mikayla who was absolutely amazing she was my co-teacher in preschool 3 a classroom filled with the most wonderful and brilliant kids. Natalie and Lolo, Kara, Marissa, Liz and Kaitlyn. All incredible with kids. I never got to work with the infant teachers but from what I've seen they love and take care of their kids. The reason why I left was because of favoritism and the head bosses- Falesha and Michelle break a lot of regulations when it comes to how the kids are treated in the classrooms and classrooms being well over ratio. Which in most cases- if the classroom is over registered can lead to more accidents involving kids. I've been in classrooms by myself with 25-28 kids on multiple occasions for solid 20-30 minutes at a time. I've seen certain teachers toss toddlers on the floor after changing their diapers, scream at their kids because they were frustrated, while also using vulgar words directed at children the only reason being is the fact that they cry. I was treated disrespectfully by the director on more than one occasion as well. The things I've seen other teachers do to their kids and the disrespect given towards the kids is absolutely revolting and it's also been brought up to Falesha herself and she's neglected to do anything about it. This is me whistle blowing- there are cameras in every classroom all they have to do is go back and check them. If you decide to work here or send your kids here in the future hopefully you will be able to have a better experience. Like I said they have cameras in every classroom.

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.

We were very excited when our child got a spot at this school. Unfortunately, our first and only…read moreyear there wound up being very disappointing and frustrating. Our daughter was bullied relentlessly in her first classroom, and the teacher was so detached that he didn't even realize it was happening. I had been worried about her because she wasn't getting ANY works done and was having anxiety attacks on school nights that would often keep her up until past 11 PM, and when we finally figured out the cause, it was like pulling teeth to get the administrators to move her to a different classroom. Once she was moved, things improved for her generally, but I still have enough concerns to cause me to move her to a neighborhood school next year. A lot of the people who work at this school are wonderful, kind, hard working souls and I really don't want to make them feel undervalued. I've heard a few of the teachers are great, but I learned at the State of the School meeting that they have a high teacher turnover rate, as well as a high student turnover rate. The children also seem to face little to no consequences for bad behavior, and as a result I am actually embarrassed to be seen on field trips with them. My daughter went to a Title 1 school before this, and the children were much better behaved and respectful to adults and other children. On our last field trip at this school, I was actually shoved by a boy who was impatient to get off the bus! I did do research on the Montessori model and felt I understood what it entailed. My daughter scored very high on the CogAT and has natural curiosity, so I thought this would be a great place for her. At this point, however, I am concerned that she will actually be behind her peers when she starts the second grade. There was a Gifted and Talented group that met once a week, but they never completed any projects and half the time they wouldn't remember to come get her for the meetings (she was 6 the whole year, and could barely remember what day of the week it was). I thought Montessori students would be encouraged to be kind and caring, but I know of more than one other child that has actually left the school due to bullying. One of the Upper El students even told me that bullying is worse at this school because the kids are "free to get up and bug you whenever they want." I know that Montessori is supposed to be self directed, but I don't see any reason that the teachers should not be clued in to what is happening in the classroom and intervene when it is really necessary.

My son started attending in October 2025 in the Owls classroom, and from day one we have felt so supported, welcomed, and confident that he is truly cared for. The teachers are incredible -- attentive, nurturing, and deeply knowledgeable. Ms. Gina, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Heather, and Ms. Connie each bring such warmth, experience, and intention to their classrooms. It is clear how much thought and care goes into the curriculum, which is both engaging and developmentally appropriate. The play-based approach, small class sizes, and consistent structure create an environment where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. What stands out most is the strong sense of community. Stepping Stones genuinely feels like a family. The teachers take the time to know each child as an individual and communicate thoughtfully with parents, which has made such a difference for us. Our son has a speech delay, and since starting at Stepping Stones, we have seen remarkable growth. He is saying so many new words, engaging more with peers, and absolutely loves going to school. Seeing his confidence and joy increase has been incredibly meaningful for our family. In addition to the exceptional care and education, Stepping Stones offers **excellent value**. The pricing feels very fair for the level of attention, experience, and quality of programming provided, which can be hard to find. We truly feel we are getting so much more than we ever expected. We are incredibly grateful for the nurturing, supportive environment Stepping Stones provides and feel lucky to be part of this community. I would wholeheartedly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a loving, high-quality early childhood program.

Eagerly, we paid the $150 deposit and looked forward to enrolling our children. However, 12 months later, there was no progress on the waiting list, and we were still told we were "about six months out." At this rate, our kids will be in high school before they're admitted We connected with other local families who shared similar experiences and assumed the school was simply overwhelmed. However, we discovered one family, who happened to be friends with David, and they experienced virtually no wait time to enroll their 3-year-old in the school. Regrettably, we lost our $150 deposit and decided to move on. One point to consider is that the owners, Allison and David, had no early childhood education experience prior to opening this franchise location. On the surface, it appears they run the school more like a business than a service to the community. Think twice before handing over your $150 deposit.
