We can't speak highly enough of this school and it's staff/teachers. The curriculum is very…read moreorganized, the classrooms are very clean and organized and everyone is very friendly. This truly feels like a little school with hustle & bustle and fun friendly activity when dropping off and picking up our daughter. This is definitely a school setting and not a day care so it really encourages learning & engagement. Our daughter was timid on her first day (naturally) however, her second day and beyond, she's been excited to go to school. She runs up to the teachers and is happy to show them her shirt or gives them hugs. This was a rare occasion at her previous school so it's telling just how comfortable she really is at Primrose. Her teachers Ms. Kelly, Ms. Venita & Ms. Maren have been amazing with our daughter. They always have a smile, friendly and have gentle personalities which foster a warm environment. Delise, the director (principal) has been great to work with, very communicative & very organized which is appreciated! We're super happy at this school! If you like clean, organized & friendly places, you'd be happy here too!

Update: Leadership at Primrose referenced "confidentiality requirements" and "steps already taken,"…read morein their public response to my review (seen below). In the interest of transparency, current and prospective parents should know that those steps included having their attorney at Goodspeed and Merrill send my family a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening a defamation lawsuit in conjunction with a fabricated CPS report if I did not immediately remove my review. The CPS allegations they threatened to file were created by flipping our concerns about the school back onto us; even if those allegations had been true, they still would not constitute child abuse. I'll be attaching the threatening document they sent so families can understand exactly what is going on. My review is based entirely on my firsthand experience. Any parent who wants to understand the situation more fully is welcome to reach out. Original Post: I'm writing this as a parent who keeps receipts- emails, timelines, photos, everything. And based on that documentation, I want other families to know what we experienced here. Our son came home with a bad bruise on his back, yet we heard nothing from the school. When brought to their attention, the school said they documented, but they repeatedly refused to give us the incident report. This wasn't an isolated issue. When our son caught a virus the school had emailed about a week earlier, the owner later denied the presence of the virus -- despite us having the original message. We also discovered missed diaper changes in our son's log that led to a severe diaper rash. From my perspective, this daycare is more focused on protecting its image than being honest with parents or providing consistent care. Please do your homework before enrolling -- ask for policies in writing and trust your instincts.

We especially appreciated their approach to gently coaching the kids through social situations. Loved that they were known and encouraged. Daily they had fun activities planned and connected everything to real-life topics, which we treasured! We have had great communication with both the teachers and the leadership. The director and assistant director are AMAZING. They are connected, concerned, and proactive. They have both been there for many years. Both of our sons have grown emotionally, socially, and intellectually through their time here! We would send another child here in a heartbeat!

As parents, we loved the monthly newsletter, "Watch Me Work" events, parent education nights, planting days, birthday celebrations, and the community picnic. The staff was always responsive to our needs and questions, and we consistently felt that our children were both physically and emotionally safe. Our girls loved the self-directed, student-empowered Montessori curriculum. The summer program--featuring the outdoor classroom, garden, butterfly enclosure, and "Water Wednesday" events--was especially fun. We will truly miss Ms. Lauren, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Dawn, and the rest of the staff.

The teachers are excellent, compassionate, care about every one of their students and give their all to the kids. Our son's teacher used to teach at a Gifted and Talented school but she chose to come to Welchester this year and was absolutely amazing for her class. Not only did her class raise their test scores but they worked on STEM activities during class and raised money for a Friendship Bench for the school. My daughter's teacher was similarly excellent in the way she interacted with the students and they all adored her. The principal is exactly the type of principal you long for a school to have: Involved, knows every kid by name, will sit down to talk with a troubled child and get down on their level, and is not afraid to step into a difficult situation if necessary. She is fabulous and sets the tone for the entire school. As parents, my husband and I are thrilled to be a part of this school community and we totally recommend it.
