When she first started in the Lion room, she'd cry because she was so use to being with either my mom or myself but there was a teacher that really helpful in calming her down. After her birthday she was moved to the K3 class, Bee room. I absolutely loved her teacher, Ms Lyn & so did my daughter. Daily reports were something I loved. My daughter learned so much & was always happy to go. The classrooms and building in general were always clean. Kids were always either playing or focused. I never had an issue with somebody bullying my baby. They were everything I want for my child. Caring teachers, friendly kids, clean facility, with a good curriculum. I was always able to go to work knowing my baby was well taken care of. Boy do I miss this daycare.

This was not the childcare facility for our family. We went through 2 tours/discussions with the…read moreDirector before selecting this as the place to enroll our daughter. Unfortunately, in practice, we did not find KRA the same as what they advertised from our questions/expectations; and, at times, we found some of their policies concerning compared to our other daycare experiences. We withdrew our daughter after 3 days. I should start by saying, we have had 2 AMAZING previous daycares. In fairness, our standards may just be significant higher than most because we have seen it done better. I think if this is your only daycare experience it may not be the worst thing in the world, but it did not align with previous practices that we have come to rely on. These were my primary concerns with the toddler rooms: * Issue: Limited communication with parents. We asked about daily logs/App and we were promised a daily personalized email from the teachers regarding your kids day and any pertinent info. In practice, we got a generic (and in broken english) bcc'd email to all parents that did not include diapering, feeding, or napping info. This detail level was common practice at previous daycares and is required by state law (diapers). Without this info, at KRA we had concerns about them not changing her diaper at an appropriate rate; especially when she came home with a rash (and had not had one in over a year). Once we exited, there were only 5 diapers missing for 2.5 days (approximately 22hrs in their care which seemed really low). At previous daycares, they changed her every 2hrs per state law and went through 4-5 diapers per day. To me as a parent, this lack of communication was key because it helps me prep for the evening we are going to have at home (did she poop yet or does her tummy hurt? Is she starving and need a snack or can she wait for dinner? Did she nap for 1hr or 3hrs to help determine bedtime?) * Issue: Teacher to student ratios. We were concerned about engagement with our child after observing a classroom + ratios since she is a younger kid moving into an older classroom. We were told it was an off day and awkward time as they were prepping for snack. They said they complied within state regulations. In watching her classroom, the ratio was 10 kids to 2 teachers. State requirement is 8:2 for our daughters age group. Morning drop off was worse with 12+ kids to 1 teacher that we witnessed on their camera system. Additionally, we watched our daughter be ignored while crying in a corner after another kid hit her, we saw very little interaction at the kid level (playing on the floor with them), etc. When we left, the owner called this classroom "glorified babysitters". *Issue: Security. At our first daycare, I had to badge into the daycare building. At our second, they use a finger print scanner. At KRA, they leave the doors open. A friend of ours while touring witnessed older kids running outside without supervision because of the unlocked doors/lack of front desk near the doors. (PS we have never visited a daycare where we didn't have to buzzed in except this one). Additionally, due to the room set up (no windows on doors) older kid rooms doors are left open. This only became an issue during drop-off when the student-teacher ratio was so high. 2 older kids dashed out of the room, and the teacher followed them. This left 10+ kids unattended for a few minutes while she chased them down. * Issue: Safety. There was an unreported and undocumented level of care to a deep scrap on my daughters thigh. It had bled but no one could tell me if they treated it or not. I get they may not have seen what happened (she is almost 2 and falls a lot), but there still should have been an accident report from a regulation standpoint. *Issue: TV Time: We witnessed on the camera system a lot of TV time (more than what they told to us when we first asked about TVs in all the classrooms) and with that a lack of teacher involvement with the kids. The kids in the toddler class also seemed less verbal than what we were used to at other daycares and I believe that it comes from a lack engagement. We had a lot of developmental concerns here since our daughter has been considered advanced up to this point and we did not want to see her fall behind. Obviously not everyone has had this experience with them and they have some good clientele (doctors, lawyers, bankers). But, after 2 days, I consulted a friend in the industry and she said a lot of these practices would not be tolerated. It was at that point we decided to withdraw her.

They have a unique way of creating community and helping children build understanding and appreciate their differences. My daughter is incredibly expressive about her feelings and is always excited to go to school. Many other local centers hire glorified babysitters. Instead, I love that Primrose Brookfield employs qualified staff who deliver a comprehensive curriculum with care at the heart of it all. They communicate with transparency and we love the special events like recitals and picnics that bring the families together. We moved to Wisconsin from out of state, so it's been awesome creating connections and seeing so many friendships blossom. It's bittersweet to head off for Kindergarten, but we're happy to create space for another child and family to share in this enriching experience. We're proud to be a Primrose fam. I recommend them to any family seeking curriculum-based care in a welcoming and inclusive environment. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

As a parent, all aspects of Primrose are best in class - From the owner, staff, facility, focus on curriculum, and genuine care for families.

Our needs, questions, and inquiries have all been met with utmost care. The leadership team and teaching staff go above and beyond to make sure our son has a great day, everyday - Further, that the parents are involved in a child's growth and learning journey. The attention to detail spans across all areas of this school - cleanliness, professionalism, communication, security, education, strong interpersonal leadership team, and the list goes on. We are greeted with a smile from the staff at pick up/drop. Our son has a personalized bottle bag, a specific drawer for his extra clothes and outerwear, and an assigned crib for only him serve as those added touches that stand out to us in a child care setting. Throughout each day while we are at work, we receive hourly updates inside the app tracking all aspects of our son's day that provides us such peace of mind.

Each day, our son follows an expert-designed curriculum and a schedule that allows him to thrive. We receive direct, transparent, and professional communication from the owner and staff - The teachers go above and beyond to curate a wonderfully welcoming experience per the Primrose promise.

That being said, I did my homework beforehand and read up on their state survey results, which didn't identify anything I would consider to be major. www.dcf.wisconsin.gov is an excellent resource to check providers out. I had basic requirements in my mind to keep my daughter at the center and they are consistently met. I am notified of changes of conditions in my daughter (ie rash, fever). Her diaper is changed about every two hours at a minimum. The staff offer suggestions to us based on what they observe in her. One example is identifying that she may have ruflux when we didn't see those symptoms as prevalently at home. Turned out to be an accurate assessment. There are the same two providers in the infant room all week, which is a huge plus for me. They have ample toys and activity centers to keep her occupied. The infant room has a separate area for cribs, divided by a half-wall partition. I would have preferred a more separate sleeping area, but she still gets good chunks of sleep there. It is definitely not in the same caliber as, say a Mary Linsmeier center, but my daughter is well cared for and given individual attention by two caring staff members. That is what is most important of anything. The reasonable cost is great, but I wouldn't keep her there unless I was happy.
