I am writing this review to share my family's experience so other parents can make informed…read moredecisions. My daughter attended Primrose until December 2025. We ultimately withdrew her after ongoing concerns about communication, follow-through, and basic care. The first time I was told that my daughter was experiencing "severe, daily issues" in her classroom was on 11/13/25, when the owner, Susan Burrow, stated that she was overwhelmed at school and unable to keep up with peers. This was surprising, as her teachers had consistently reported that she was having good days with only occasional incidents. The following day (11/14/25), I met with the Assistant Director, Blanne Burrow, to discuss simple, low-effort strategies that could help support my daughter when she became overstimulated. He took notes, and I sent a follow-up email summarizing our discussion. Later that afternoon, I received a call from the owner stating that none of the accommodations worked, despite it being only a few hours since our initial conversation. She also requested an "updated" diagnosis for my daughter's autism. I had to explain to a childcare provider that autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disability and that the diagnostic criteria do not expire. On 11/21/25, I followed up with my daughter's lead teacher to ask whether the suggested accommodations had been shared with her. She could only recall one item, which made it clear the list had not been communicated or implemented in any real way, despite assurances that these strategies had already been attempted. There were also two separate occasions when I discovered that my daughter had not been changed for an extended period, resulting in soaked clothing and irritation: * 11/26/24: I noticed at home that she was still wearing the pull-up I had put on her that morning. It was fully saturated, her pants were wet, and she had had a bowel movement that caused irritation. I reported this immediately to the director and her teachers. * 10/1/25: I noticed the same situation when picking her up--wet pants, soaked pull-up, and a bowel movement. I brought her back inside to be cleaned and informed her teachers and the front desk, and notified the director the next day. These were not isolated communication issues. They became a pattern of concerns regarding transparency, follow-through, and basic care expectations. After weeks of trying to collaborate and advocate, we made the difficult decision to withdraw. After speaking with several staff members, I learned that my experience was not an isolated case. I was told that Primrose has pressured other families to withdraw children who fall outside what the school views as 'the norm.' I also learned that staff are not given any training on how to work with children who have special needs, despite repeated requests from teachers for that support. Every child deserves to feel supported, safe, and cared for at school. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

Would recommend to anyone and although it's quite expensive, you get what you pay for. It is worth every penny.

Run, far and fast away from this place. The negative reviews show the true colors of this "school"…read moreThe positive reviews are written by paid staff, friends of the director or owners. Read the negative reviews and base your decision off that. The Owner's will respond spouting off about their "Vision, Values and Mission" but they don't care about any of it. It's there to help them rope you in and make money. They only care about money not about the children or the parents. I am sure they will respond here with the same canned responses they give every other negative review. They refuse to resolve issues face to face, through email or over the phone "they don't have a contact number" yea sure they don't have a phone. Attached to this post will be pictures of all the reasons we decided to remove our child from this "school" please be wary of the positive posts on here. The staff does not seem to care about anything going on, and are there to just pick up a paycheck and could care less what happens with our children. We have brought up issues multiple times with the director, and given plenty of time for the issues to be resolved, however the director seems to brush off the issue and no resolution was made, hence our choice to remove our son from this "school" If the owners of the "school" would like to discuss this information further with us, they can feel free to give us a call ( Not email , not canned responses to this post a genuine phone call); if we do not hear from them , then we will assume they do not have concern for the health and well being of the children in their facility and are only in the business to make money.

The reason why we especially love Barfield Academy is they take time to teach the children instead of letting TVs babysit them. My child has grown immensely since attending. The focus on manners, ABCs, 123s and overall just being a good respectful little person make my wife and I very happy. I know there has been some turnover at the director level, but those were personal choices that people had to make for career advancement, which should never be frowned upon. Miss Alice and Miss Emily have this school running on all cylinders and we are proud to be a part of the Barfield Academy family.

We have had the experience of several of the teachers and each have been just amazing. He has shown tremendous improvement in all areas of early childhood development - vocabulary and language, reading, writing, numbers, geography and overall social skills. All credit goes to the dedicated teachers, the Montessori curriculum and the class environment this school has created for children. The great thing about this school is that it is nothing like a typical day-care. It follows a popular Montessori system where teachers follow a curriculum to teach specific skills to children based on their age and ability. The flexible system allows children to pick up on things they love to do, master it and then move on to something new. I found the school environment homey & comfortable yet professional and safe. The classes are big and bright with tons of educational material. Another thing I love about this school is that the teachers are very honest with you and work with you to help your child in areas that they need extra help with. Teachers consistently encouraged our child, fed his appetite for new and exciting learning needs, provided feedback and involved parents through out the school year via activities. Our son is in a safe and very nurturing environment, he is learning and having fun at the same time. What more could parents ask for? We strongly recommend this school to our friends and neighbors all the time.

However, they were ill-equipped to handle our child's needs and made the excuse that he was violent and defiant. We only heard he was violent and defiant when we were asked to leave on Day 3.5 no prior indication was given. It appears they admit that their staff could not handle our son's needs. He has since been re-enrolled in another Pre-K and has been thriving there. They are refusing to refund any of the $250 registration fee that we had to pay when we enrolled him, and state it was to pay to have their administration to enter him in the computer (no tangible items were purchased). They essentially deceived us that they could handle our son's needs, and are now refusing to admit they are the ones that lead us to make the mistake of enrolling him there. We were told they would pray for us, but we cannot return. We would have never paid the registration fee if we knew he could be terminated within 3.5 days of enrollment, and I don't know anyone who would. Stay far away from this place, and if you love your child put them somewhere else. This facility is only after the almighty dollar not the almighty savior.
