    We've been very happy with our experience here for the last year. We have one in the pre-K program…read moreand I am really impressed with the advancements she's made in the last year. I feel like she's well-prepared to start Kinder in the fall. I'm also impressed with the advancements I've seen in my son as he's progressed through the toddler program into the 2s. All of the teachers make an effort to know every child's name and I think that makes them feel very special and included. I appreciate that they went through the process to become accredited and have a strong curriculum in place (while leaving plenty of room for the kids to still have fun). It's also nice that being in a federal building makes you feel like the kids are very safe. There are numerous security measures in place to finally get through the center's door, but nothing that would scare the kids. All of the building's security officers are so sweet with the kids!

    My daughter was at this center for 1 year from Jan 2024- Jan 2025. Overall, we had a wonderful…read moreexperience. We only left because we moved. She learned a lot, and I knew the staff cared for her on a personal level. I would recommend this center to anyone. My biggest problem was enforcing policies across the board for all children and parents. I felt like my daughter was scratched WAY TOO MUCH! I understand kids scratch, but if the nail clipping policy is enforced and parents are required to cut their daughter's or son's nails, scratches would happen less. Teachers should have nail clippers available at drop-off so parents can clip their children's nails. All in all, whenever I had a critique or comment for staff, it was always heard and respected.

    just now New I would…read morelike to start off by saying.... I am a first time grandmother and it is truly a blessing. We did not think that we would have needed childcare... but I must say the search has been so stressful annd overwhelming ...until Celebree and Mrs Mindi. I have researched, called and read reviews of all the prestigious child care facilities locally. It's crazy because I just started a new job ... working Monday thru Friday getting off at 5:30pm.. so that makes interviewing any childcare facility during the week IMPOSSIBLE. And wait... mostly all the facilities are closed on the weekends. My daughter is going to school during the week and doing her exterm... so .. she could not visit as well. I spoke to many facilities that just could not accommodate a visit after hours... nor a scheduled visit or interview on a Saturday morning. I found a few that would allow me to send someone else to view on my behalf during the week... or just simply direct led me to their website. Well, I was blessed with a call back from Mindi at Celebree letting me know that she was willing to open up the Daycare just for myself, my daughter and my grandbaby to visit Saturday at 9am. The facility is closed on that day... however the accommodation was stellar. Not only did she give us a personal tour... but she allowed my baby to get down and experience the facility briefly. We were not rushed at all... she went over everything. Mindi didn't know how much this meant to me. She sacrificed a portion of her time.... Just for us. No directing me to a website to pictures. She interacted with my granddaughter.... and she was just happy and full of smiles. This made me feel confident about making a decision of choosing Celebree. The fact that she made us a priority... when so many other childcare facilities were willing to just let us walk away. My granddaughter was just another child to them... but Mindi made us feel like family! And that's important... as parents we must feel secure in knowing that we are leaving our babies in safe hands... and with people that truly care. We start next week, and I couldn't have made a better choice. I stopped by today... just to confirm and do paperwork and I was greeted by Evette and Celeste. Both friendly and welcoming. This was a great experience... as it should be anytime one is making a decision about care for a child. I am so thankful for Mindi calling me back... because if not... I would have been stuck with basic choices... instead of getting the best in service! I appreciate all of their time, patience, and concern! Thank you!

    I had the pleasure to meet the school owner, Mindi, and her director, Alisha in their welcome…read morecenter recently. From the moment I walked through the door, it was clear that this preschool goes above and beyond in every way. These two women were so welcoming and kind. After discussing the schools philosophy and curriculum I feel very confident that my children will excel at this school. I can't wait for their school to open this Fall so that we can become a member of their school family. It's evident that they have thought through every detail to ensure a nurturing and educational setting.

    I want to be very clear that this review is not directed toward my son's teachers. London's…read moreteachers (Ms Emily & Maria) were wonderful. They were loving, patient, communicative, and played such a positive role in his development. We are genuinely grateful for them and will miss them. My issue is with the director, Barkha, and the way leadership handled concerns involving my child. My child was attending Willow for 5 months. Barkha refused to meaningfully meet with us to discuss her reasoning for holding my child back in Nido as an 18 month old, despite this being an important decision directly affecting his development and classroom placement. As parents, we simply wanted a professional conversation, clear reasoning, and an opportunity to understand the decision being made about our son. Instead, the communication we received was dismissive, unprofessional, and condescending, all conducted through WhatsApp, which is the only platform the school uses to communicate. Rather than approaching the situation collaboratively or with care, Barkha's tone and handling of the matter made us feel unheard and disrespected as parents. Furthermore, she was adamant about receiving Nido tuition and once we put a stop on tuition in order to get a conversation held, she terminated our child (this is not the standard policy). What is most disappointing is that the teachers created such a warm and supportive environment for London, but the administration's conduct did not match the quality of care being provided in the classroom. I would strongly encourage any parent considering this school to pay close attention not only to the teachers, but also to how leadership communicates when concerns arise. In our experience, the lack of professionalism, transparency, and willingness to engage in a meaningful conversation was unacceptable.

    I would not recommend this program. Barkha appears to prioritize tuition revenue over what was best…read morefor the children. children were being held back unnecessarily, while parents were given little opportunity to discuss those decisions directly. Communication was also extremely unprofessional. Attempts to meet and discuss concerns were often unsuccessful, and most communication took place through WhatsApp, which I did not feel was an appropriate or professional way to handle important matters regarding children's education and development. Additionally, I found Barkha's interactions with parents to be condescending, petty, and sarcastic at times. Parents deserve to be treated with respect and to have their concerns heard. Overall, the lack of professionalism, transparency, and genuine partnership with families is highly disappointing.

    I thought I already posted this review but apparently not. My son Matthew attends and honestly…read moreit's the best thing that ever happened to him the structure at the school is wonderful the leadership team starting from the franchise owners is fantastic I can truly tell you that I've never seen a private preschool where the owners take so much interest in each individual child and really want to form a family relationship. In my opinion most families don't realize the importance of preschool in building a foundation for furthering your child's education but if you're looking for a school that will provide structure education play through learning as well as personal growth and discipline for your child you found the right place. I couldn't say anything other then enroll now! Within the first 10 days of the school year my just three-year-old learned the pledge allegiance of allegiance. I was so happy to hear him recite it to me! God bless America and God Bless Primrose of Firewheel!

Front end staffs are always greeting you with warm and friendly smiles, and in my surprise this is the first school that the staffs / owner open the door for you in the morning and closing during peak time pick up and drop off. I appreciate how Sharon the owner are very involved with the school, and how she cares for the kids. The money you paid, are in return back to your kids. I have never spend money on bringing in tissues or sipping cups for my child... oh did I mentioned, 3 of My kids are enrolled here! From toddler to private kindergarten, all the teachers are great! Since i have experienced with my infant teacher Ms Joyce, Michelle, and Sarah. My son preschool teacher Ms Phyllis and funny Ms Z are incredibly patient. Private kindergarten Ms Renfro strict yet I love her! The curriculum are outstanding and my kids have learned so much at expressing their thoughts and feelings... well maybe a bit too much :) I couldn't be any happier! Thank you so much for everything you do.

    Our daughter Ishanvi has been going to Primrose School at Deerfield since November 2022 when she…read morejust turned 4. It was a lengthy process in choosing her first school and we are very pleased to have chosen Primrose. The school and the staff have been playing a significant role in the development and growth of our daughter. Over time since she joined, Isha loved going to school. Apart from the outstanding curriculum, numerous other activities like Christmas celebrations, Easter Egg Hunt, the annual graduation ceremony, etc., have piqued Isha's interest and made her appreciate the time she is spending in school. It is to be noted that the staff put in a lot of time, effort and energy into the execution of the aforementioned events that they end up being really grand, rich and thoroughly memorable experiences for students and parents alike. The school has also ensured that they strictly meet the dietary requirements of each child. The staff also do a commendable job in communicating with us about the child's daily activities, upcoming events, payment reminders and accommodating many other requests we've made. It has been a breeze communicating with Ms. Corrine, especially, and she has always been prompt, quick and always helpful in her response. Our special mention goes to Ms. Alissa. Ever since Ms. Alissa became the class teacher for Pre-K-2, Isha wasn't just happy but was excited to go to school. We, as parents, could clearly see that Ms. Alissa genuinely cared about the kids in the class, made them all feel inclusive, provided individual care to each one of them and actually wanted them to be happy & comfortable. The very manner she greets the kids in the morning not only brightens their days but ours as well. As we drop off our daughter and drive away in the morning, we feel relieved and at peace knowing that Ms. Alissa is there to take care of our daughter. We also want to thank Ms. Margie (who in Isha's words is a very sweet teacher), Ms. Shilpi, Mr. Alan (whose high-fives instantly cheer up Isha in the morning), Ms. Suzanne and Ms. Heather.

    We initially loved this Primrose and started our daycare journey here. With the high staff…read moreturnover, the location quickly went downhill. The new staff began going off protocols and doing whatever they wanted to do. I witnessed an employee changing one of the infants on the playmat where the kids play when there was an available changing table, she would undress all of the kids while eating lunch instead of simply using a bib, and admittedly lied about daily documentation (specifically when and how much my child was eating). The outside play equipment was filthy and my kid would have clothes covered in dirt. We ultimately had to leave due to safety concerns.
