Not to take scripture out of context, but this is our initial impression of this school and…read moreadmissions representative: "And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet..." Going through the admissions process, it unfortunately became evident that we would not be welcomed or received well at this school. That is fine, I understand that is the case sometimes, but children should not be referred to as "burdens" or "inconveniences". All children should feel loved and supported regardless of where they are in their academic journey. Private schools need to remember that private education is a two way street. We are evaluating you just as much as you are evaluating families. Based on multiple interactions with admissions, I would not enroll my children at this school. I'm sure there are fine people that work here and care about the kids, but when the gate keepers seem judgmental, bias, and indifferent towards your children and situation, it unfortunately deters people. "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

We have had such a wonderful experience with Primrose. From the very beginning, the staff made us…read morefeel completely comfortable and confident leaving our daughter in their care. The teachers in the infant room are incredibly attentive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child. They take the time to learn every baby's individual needs, routines, and personality, which has made such a difference for our daughter. We always feel reassured knowing she is in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. Communication has been excellent--whether it's updates throughout the day, feeding and nap details, or just sharing sweet moments. It means so much to know how she's doing while we're apart. We've also noticed great developmental progress since our daughter started. It's clear the team is intentional about supporting growth through age-appropriate activities, interaction, and care. We are so grateful to have found a daycare that treats our daughter like family. I would highly recommend this program to any parent looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their child.

Update: Leadership at Primrose referenced "confidentiality requirements" and "steps already taken,"…read morein their public response to my review (seen below). In the interest of transparency, current and prospective parents should know that those steps included having their attorney at Goodspeed and Merrill send my family a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening a defamation lawsuit in conjunction with a fabricated CPS report if I did not immediately remove my review. The CPS allegations they threatened to file were created by flipping our concerns about the school back onto us; even if those allegations had been true, they still would not constitute child abuse. I'll be attaching the threatening document they sent so families can understand exactly what is going on. My review is based entirely on my firsthand experience. Any parent who wants to understand the situation more fully is welcome to reach out. Original Post: I'm writing this as a parent who keeps receipts- emails, timelines, photos, everything. And based on that documentation, I want other families to know what we experienced here. Our son came home with a bad bruise on his back, yet we heard nothing from the school. When brought to their attention, the school said they documented, but they repeatedly refused to give us the incident report. This wasn't an isolated issue. When our son caught a virus the school had emailed about a week earlier, the owner later denied the presence of the virus -- despite us having the original message. We also discovered missed diaper changes in our son's log that led to a severe diaper rash. From my perspective, this daycare is more focused on protecting its image than being honest with parents or providing consistent care. Please do your homework before enrolling -- ask for policies in writing and trust your instincts.

The kindergarten teacher my daughter got actively bullied my daughter over lack of ability to read. My daughter is still bitter, luckily that teacher retired, she was never punished for her behavior. Luckily her first grade teachers actually cared and she was quickly diagnosed with dyslexia. The over all lay out works well, and there were many good teachers. The gifted teacher was amazing and made my daughters life and my sons life much easier. Over all the school was a good place for my kids to grow up, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth that the teacher who builder my daughter didn't face any punishment.

I am so surprised this school allows the receptionist they have for hire represent the staff here…read more She's rude, nasty acting, ALWAYS frowned up, and careless about nicely greeting people that comes inn. My child has been here for 2 years now and Ms.Rhonda (the main secretary) has always been nasty and rude to not just me but other parents as well. One parent loudly asked her one day "why do you always pick on me & act nasty when I'm just walking my son to breakfast? Just stop it!" I can tell the secretary was embarrassed from the confrontation and everyone around looked like they wanted to applaud that mom. It felt like she took up for us all in a sense. The teachers are resourceful and nice, I'm just baffled how the principle allows someone with such a nasty demeanor represent the staff. I'm sure there are more complaints if people had the time to write a review about it.

The staff at PWCCS are caring and attentive with students and parents. The academic and spiritual curriculum are well balanced and thorough. And I love how organized everything is. PWCCS is also an incredibly active school, with school-wide events throughout the year. I love the small class size, the school's active interest in using the advances of technology to aid in teaching and I love the open lines of communication we parents have with everyone at the school -- from the principal, to the teachers, to other parents as well. And one more very important reason I love this school -- my son is thriving there. We are looking forward to next year.

They were always incredibly accommodating with our part time schedule and the last minute changes that come with life. As our son moves on, we're excited to have welcomed a new little one, and we have no doubt he'll be attending MSEE when the time is right. Thank you, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Shawna, Miss Carrie, and Mrs. Jessica, for everything you've done for our family. We are so grateful!

During our time at Willows - Homestead Learning Center, we witnessed some of the worst examples of…read moreproper childcare in our 3 months of enrollment, as highlighted below: Safety concerns: - Teachers and Director do not properly handle targeted bullying nor even acknowledge major injuries when they occur. Our child was bitten several times, and the bite marks went unnoticed/unreported. - Our son has come home several times with injuries to his head with no explanation from the teachers as to what happened. An example of this is that he hit his head TWICE on the same day and I never received an incident report noting either injury. Lack of oversight over dietary restrictions/food allergies - We observe a vegetarian diet, and our son was served meat products TWICE. Both times were attributed to "miscommunications". Even bringing our own lunch and snacks didn't mitigate the issue. - If our son was served a product that he shouldn't have been TWICE within two months' time, I believe that other children have been served food items that they should not have. Lack of preparation/planning for the day/week: - On our first day, we entered the room to discover that his name was nowhere to be found. When we asked about getting his name displayed around the room to the [former] lead teacher, she stated that she "would do it when she had time". It was only after we brought up our concerns to the Regional Director, Chloe, and Director, DeAnne, that our son's name was included in the room. - Our first month (April), the weekly agenda/theme posted outside the room went unchanged for one month. How does the Director, who works in the same building, not have any idea what each classroom is doing on a weekly basis? Shows a lack of oversight. - The daily agenda posted in the classroom doesn't reflect what the children are doing. To this day, it hasn't been updated in over a month. In the 3 months he has been there, I do not believe that he has learned anything educational. Little to no communication on daily activities: - Willows uses "ProCare" for updates, and we received roughly the following updates: 70% = no daily updates 13% = bulk pictures of all kids 15% = specific photos of your child 2% = specific information for your child's activities - We once went for 3 weeks without any app updates. Lack of Concern and Connection from the Teachers: - If Ms. Bella wasn't in the Yellow classroom and another teacher was covering, our son would be so afraid of them that he wouldn't even express his basic needs to them (i.e. have an accident before he told them that he needed to use the potty). - The covering teachers would never notice his accidents and often he would be in wet clothes when we picked him up and would change him ourselves. - If the Yellow Room teachers were already gone for the day and the kids were playing outside, there was literally no one to ask about how your child's day went. With no app updates and no teachers to communicate with, parents quite literally have no idea what occurred during your child's day. We met with the RD and Director several times to address our concerns about the Yellow Room, but even to our last day, we cannot say that anything ever improved. Over our last few weeks, we saw glimmers of hope and improvement but cannot say that it wouldn't revert to the poorly organized, barely functioning room that it has been in since our arrival.
