We toured Casa because we wanted a bilingual environment for our baby...but Casa is so much more than that. I get updates in their app throughout the day (with the cutest photos), I talk to the maestras at pick up, and I'm always so impressed by how well they know my baby and pay attention to his cognitive, emotional, and physical growth. They are constantly putting out new curriculum and there are lots of celebrations and theme days that we have a lot of fun with. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers and staff. They truly love the kids. I'm also convinced my son eats better meals than me there!

My wife and I have two boys (4 and 1) who have attended Primrose since they were 4 months old. We…read morehave looked at more expensive options and less expensive options and are convinced that Primrose is the right place for our boys. I simply could not disagree more with the other reviewer. The education and development of my boys have been very impressive. The 4yr old was potty trained in just over 2 years. He can read, write and even speak limited Spanish at just over 4yrs. With the limited amount of time my wife and I have with him I firmly believe Primrose is to thank. This is despite some teacher turnover that occurred after a large competitor moved in down the street and actively attempted to recruit away their staff last year. Why did my sons development continue with little relative impact? The curriculum. It simply works. At this age it's the strong controls over what, when and how our children are taught that allows Primrose to be so successful at educating our children. That's not to takeaway from the excellent staff whom we do appreciate. In addition to the education there is also the social development. Our children are not only academically intelligent - they are also polite, caring, social and resilient. Their emotional development appears to be well beyond that of others their age. As I said earlier - with the limited amount of time we get to spend with our boys - I trust Primrose to help develop them into successful students and socially responsible children - and they haven't let me down.

You can tell the teachers love what they do and the kids learn so much here. The cook on site is such a huge bonus. There are many day cares including our current one that requests all meals are pre-made by parents.

Starting a new school in January as a first grader when you have never lived in frozen weather took a lot of courage from my daughters but a majority of the praise goes to the staff at Fernbrook who were absolutely amazing.

My 10 year old nephew attended summer camp here for the first time for 2 weeks of August. My husband and I were given a tour months before registration and as we can see from online photos, as well as in person, this place is visually impressive. They have beautiful art work everywhere, multiple rooms for activities such as culinary, bowling, an indoor basketball court, a theater area and dance rooms. We were told that our nephew would get to enjoy all of these rooms throughout the week and seemingly have a schedule full of activities to do. However, this wasn't the case at all. My first complaint about this camp is that you can NOT bring your own lunch. They definitely provide food, however ALL the children who go here hate it. I understand needing to account for allergies and as someone who works in hospitality simply telling parents what not to pack should be fine. I get that it's all wrapped into the price, but it should truly be an option, not a requirement. If you do want to bring in your own lunch, you will need a doctors note .... My next complaint is towards the lack of activities. He was basically doing the same thing everyday and the only fun activity that all the kids seem to actually like is called spike ball, which they can only play if everyone in there group is quite and non disruptive. If even one child acts up, no one can play at all and everyone must sit in silence for the remainder of the period. Another room that is considered hell to these children is called sensory. This room is filled with dirty toys and filthy plush die that the kids have to play with. My nephew told me that the other kids warned him about this room in particular, being gross with no actual activities set up for these kids to do, where they will end up spending the majority of their time during any given day. If your kid doesn't play basketball and they happen to have to spend some time at the indoor court, they can enjoy just sitting on the sideline for about an hour doing absolutely nothing else. In culinary, the only thing they do is assemble food that has basically already been prepared. No learning measurements or anything remotely cooking related at all, literally just assembling food. In the 2 weeks my nephew was there, he was able to bowl 1 time and out of 3 lanes only 2 were working. Sometimes the children would ask the consolers, "why do we have to spend most of our days in sensory?" or "can we do something else?" The answer to the first question would be an "I don't know" or "that's just how it is" and for the second question it's a "no". He definitely met a ton of kids who have been attending this camp for years who have all warned him of how shitty this place is and how much they hate it here. Either the parents don't know what their kids are actually doing here or they just don't care and are happy to pay $385 a week for their kids to sit in a pretty place with filthy toys for 5+ hours a days. This place was a complete waste of money and time. The counselors seemed overwhelmed at all times or just litlerly checked out. Seems like an administrative issue around rules and scheduling of activities. My nephew said for the most part the kids were nice and accepting and the counselors were okay but always seemed stressed out. This camp wasn't fun, wasn't engaging and wasn't clean. I hope this reviews will stop any new or existing parent from sending their kids here. Unless of course you have money to burn and you don't really care what your child is doing all day long. I'm almost positive that ANY good review on Google or Yelp for this place is paid for or from a parent with a toddler. If your kid is 8 years or older, this is NOT the camp for you. NEVER EVER AGAIN. I would like to give 5 stars to Ms. Ryan and the tall Black woman with braids for D2 (sorry I forgot your name) yall were amazing. The only good things about this place.

The next day, my wife called and they told her our child was now "third" on the list. So we went from 1st to 3rd? How did that happen? Not sure if our skin color had to do with anything as this school was majority white, but go figure. Needless to say, they have never contacted us for an update when other kids were able to get in. Fortunately, we did not end up going to New Horizon and went to Step by Step instead which has been the best decision thus far. Stay away from this place if you expect you and your child to be treated fairly.
