One of the things we appreciate most is the small, intimate setting--it allows for meaningful one-on-one time between the kids, their friends, and their teachers, which has made such a positive impact on our boys. The school also does an amazing job creating opportunities for families to be involved. Events like the family lunches, Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations, and holiday parties make it feel like more than just a school--it's a community. Most importantly, both of our boys absolutely love going to school. They come home excited to share stories about their teachers and friends, which says everything. We feel confident that they are well cared for, supported, and getting exactly what they need to prepare for elementary school. We couldn't be more grateful to have found such a special place.

The owner, Kim, and her awesome team of teachers are the best caring, loving and kindest people we could ask for to take care of our baby!

We called in early March for availability for our infant and were told the soonest was May which worked perfectly with our timeline. We came in to tour and then coordinated a day to come in before our infants first day. We came in to do our orientation a week prior to the first day and Yaya seemed very confused when we came in and told us she "couldn't remember" what room our infant was placed into.. We were shown the classroom she would be in and were introduced to the teachers. We were told that she would have a cubby for all her items; however, on the first day of drop off she did not have a cubby or an area for her items. Not to mention I did not even recognize the teachers who were in the classroom with her. When I went to look for the items I dropped off, I found them items on the floor in a storage closet while other infants had their items neatly set up and put away. When we confronted the center they claimed "a label" is not a reflection of the care our child will receive and the excuse was "Erica" has been out for a week and they didn't know where our infant's stuff was so they couldn't set up her items properly. They had plenty of notice to prepare for our infant advance. It may just be a label but what it shows me they are unorganized, lack basic communication skills amongst their employees and if they can't properly store her necessities, they lack the ability to they take care of my child, it is 100% a reflection of the care my child will receive.

Since we both work it was important to find people we could rely on. So happy our baby is with trusting people and I would recommend LHLC to all parents!

Even…read morewhen we got into other Preschools, I stayed on the waitlist for Discovery, and I'm so glad I did. One thing I've learned about sending a little one to school is: It works best if you have a place with enough teachers who truly care about your child, and who also understand that parents (as well as kids) need some flexibility and understanding at this age... And that's what they've been with us - understanding and flexible - through the crazy local weather spells, child sicknesses... all of it. They truly embrace the concept that no two kids are the same, so you really can't force kids into some cookie-cutter template (e.g. expecting all kids to develop at the same rate, forcing them all to nap every day, etc.). I have been especially impressed with the owner, Kirsten, and the Director, Courtney - Always nice, always friendly, obviously work very hard and care about each and every student they have, etc. And this care and consideration is not only shown to my kid, but also to me, which is a breath of fresh air at an age when things can be so stressful. Would also like to add that their prices are the most reasonable you'll find and the gifts they have kids make and bring home for their parents during the holidays are absolutely delightful... Again, another sign that they not only care about your child, they care about the whole picture. Props of course as well to all of their individual hardworking teachers!

Primrose is a wonderful school. My daughter has been there since it opened and loves it 1.5 years…read morelater. Primrose has nurturing teachers, convenient pick up and drop off times, a diversity of healthy snacks and meals, compassionate administrators, and a lovely community of parents. They have date night options as well as camps for school breaks for my older child. Their curriculum is fun, creative, and developmentally appropriate, with dance and sports extras. My 4 year old has school readiness skills and phonetic awareness that rivals what my son, who attended a play based day care, had at the end of kindergarten. As a full time working mom, I am so impressed by the school and thankful for this high quality and reliable care.

We have had an outstanding experience at Primrose School of South Reno. I cannot recommend this…read moreschool enough! We transferred our toddler to Primrose when they opened in October as we were not satisfied with our previous care provider. Enrollment in Primrose is the best childcare decision we've made for our daughter. Her vocabulary, both verbal and through sign language, greatly improved after enrollment. The toddler lesson plans are fun and educational so she's constantly surprising us at home with what she's learned in school. We are very pleased with her progress. Primrose uses the Procare application to update parents throughout the day and send general school notifications. We receive updates regarding our child's diapering, nap times (she consistently naps on her cot for 2-2.5 hours) and how much she's eating. We also get the occasional picture and she looks so happy in each one! Primrose provides a balanced meal plan and I'm satisfied in knowing my child is getting all the nutrients her body needs. She loves the food and has expanded her palate. I'm happy she finally likes noodles too! Honestly, she eats better than I do during the work week! Also, the chef is very friendly. My daughter waves to her during most morning drop-offs. I'm told they often wave to each other during the day since the toddler classroom is across from the kitchen too. I love how much fun the chef has with the children too. The school has a great security system which is important to my husband and I. You are unable to enter the building without a code and the outdoor play areas have tall rod iron fences. They practice monthly fire drills too. We are 100% confident in our daughter's safety at Primrose. Regarding cleanliness, teachers are cleaning throughout the day, they purchased electro-static sprayers to disinfect twice per week, and there's a cleaning company that comes in 5 days a week to sanitize high touch surfaces. I believe there are also air purifiers in the classrooms. It is clear that Bethany and Alonzo, the owners of this franchise location, are passionate about childcare and education, as are the Primrose teachers. They are all dedicated to the children and present a fun, caring and educational environment. I love the updates and conversations I have with them during pick-ups. I can't rave about Primrose School of South Reno enough. We look forward to long-term childcare with this school and feel blessed to be a Primrose pioneer!

Now that I'm relocating out of state to Colorado, I requested the return of the $700 deposit I paid, and they refused, saying it's "non-refundable." We're talking about daycare, not a university.

My daughter went to Small Strides for a full year and it was an ok experience. I'll be talking…read moreabout the location that they have in the Rancharrah area. My daughter started going at 3 months old and the baby room that she was in was incredible. The main teachers in her classroom in the morning were on top of it and overall the classroom was very organized. OH, and we loved receiving her art work. Despite the crazy schedule the teachers had with these newborn babies, the way they were able to insert art time for memories I was definitely delighted how they did it all! Now talking about the second classroom she transitioned to as she got a little older and meeting her milestones, her teachers in that classroom were also great! I loved how they all knew my daughter's schedule and were on top of it. And in both classes, I really appreciated how they informed me right away or my husband when stuff happened. Now I'm going to talk about the cons in this paragraph which explains why I'm giving this place a 4/5 rating. It was frustrating when my daughter's things got misplaced from other kiddos and this happened a lot. They reminded parents to label and whatnot but things started to go missing. Another incident is when there was an issue with a staff that I just had to address with the owner and I was glad it got handled well because as a parent, no parent should be coming in feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. And lastly, towards the last two months of my daughter's stay, she has gotten bit at least 10 times. My husband and I let it go and just kept letting it go until we finally addressed it to them but then on her last week it happened. Her marks were awful and I was not happy but I let it go since she wasn't staying there for long. Overall, I do appreciate the teachers who cared for my daughter and all their hard work they provide for all these kiddos. It was an ok daycare experience but I am so delighted to be a SAHM now and be with my kids under my care.

First off let me say that we didn't realize how great Small Strides daycare/preschool was until we…read moremoved out of state or how difficult it was to find a daycare that met the level of expectations that Small Strides had set. Needles to say, Small Strides set the bar very high. We had our son in Small Strides at 3 months as a first time mom, it was a nervous experience. However the teachers are very nice and caring, I went in the middle of the day to breastfeed and all the babies were well taken care of and happy. At the time (it may have changed) they didn't use swings or bouncers for the babies, because the owner felt that the babies should be held if/when they get fussy. And it's just too easy to put a baby in a bouncer or swing and leave them there. I never thought about it, but so true and I loved this concept. Our son was there until he turned about 2.5 when we moved to NJ. He learned his shapes, had learned how to count to 18 (in Spanish and English), knew his colors (in English and was beginning to learn them in Spanish), and so many other things. While the kids did get free play time, whenever my husband or I would show up unannounced it always seemed organized. Kids rarely were just running around in complete chaos and most times were engaged in a group activity. Because the daycare was small we knew all the teachers, and they all knew the kids by name even if they weren't in their assigned classroom. This made it easy for our son to transition between classrooms, and truthfully, he walked around like he owned the place lol. We saw the same teachers for the most of the entire 2+ years that we were there, which says something about the owner and the facility due to what seemed to be low turnover. The Owner/Director was always available and worked the front desk in addition to being involved in the classrooms day to day if needed, so any issues you could always reach her. And because she was always at the school and involved, you could tell that she had a vested interest in ensuring that the teachers and students had what they needed to succeed. Not to mention she knew every kid by name. While there isn't the new technology that some larger daycares have (online video that parents can tap into or tablets to send parents reports and pics), this is a definite plus (having now experienced a daycare with this technology). Filling out the kids daily report each day and evening allows you to meet and get to know the other parents and kids (making it feel more homey and safe) and the teachers are much more engaged with the kids since they aren't on the tablets all day updating the kids logs. Though there isn't online viewing for parents (at that time)video , they do record all the classrooms, so if there was ever an issue the owner and parent can review the video records. We've come to find that many of the daycares have the online viewing option, but don't record. So if something were to happen, and unless you were watching at just the right time, you would never know. The online viewing is really just a false sense of security in my opinion. We can't speak highly enough of Small Strides and are still in search for a daycare/preschool that meets these expectations.
