I would like to let you know that my wife, daughter & I have had the great pleasure of having Primrose School of Algonquin as an addition to our family over the past 6 years. I may be a little biased, being we only have one child and it is the only school she has ever attended. It wasn't baking a cake for my wife and I, (they gave us a 1 in 400,000 of 1% chance of having children). We were building our home in Gilberts, IL tearing out bedrooms as we did not think we would need any more than 2 or 3 most. Obviously, I did not believe my wife when she called me at work telling me she was pregnant. By the big guy upstairs' grace we we're extremely fortunate and over the moon that we had a beautiful healthy baby girl. So here we are April 2012 and now we have beaten the Powerball odds of having a baby. What are 2 type "A", work-a-holic, Gen-X / Millennial hybrids going to do with and whom can we trust with our new most prized possession?!?!
Once again, my wife to the rescue and has found Primrose of Algonquin. From the moment I stepped foot in the school, I did not have to look any further as it exceeded anything that I ever had growing up & over the course of the past 6 years has grown to be considered FAMILY in every sense of the word.
I won't name them all, as I am too fearful to leave out someone's name, however the owners, directors, teachers & support staff from the very top to the very bottom are some of the most approachable people on the planet. In my observations they have always demonstrated exceptional teaching skills regardless of the class's age group or diversity of learning levels. They always ensure that their students experience success by challenging their abilities to encourage as much growth and development as possible. The students are always treated with great respect from the teachers and staff and has great rapport with them. I knew from the first year walking with them in the town parade that they are great people and care about the kids more than just inside the classroom walls. For me it was great that they are always very real with me. I do want it sugarcoated, just tell me what it is or what had happened so I know how to deal with it appropriately. From the owners Kurt & Laura to the director Ruthann down they are very good at catering to their audience (us the parents). The always willingness to go above and beyond in every aspect of the school I can think of from tech (tadpoles), to up-to-date learning techniques, philanthropic, really I cannot think of an area they did not exceed all expectations!
The teachers at the school are not only a great asset to the class, but the school as well. Their presence in the school are respected by all for their many contributions, beyond the regular curriculum, are exemplary. It is without hesitation that I commend them for their contributions to students and education. They are an asset to any school and will surely have a positive effect on any developing mind under their influence. I would recommend the Primrose School of Algonquin as school of the year for the past 6 years running and with a very heavy heart we have to go to first grade. For very selfish reasons I would keep my little girl this size and at this school for the rest of my days if I could. (Feel free to make a K-MBA, but I think that's a long shot & I won't hold my breath).
I wanted to pass along my great many thanks & praise what a fantastic school Primrose of Algonquin is. In my opinion, what every school across the nation should be taking notes and looking at as this is what they should be striving to be. I cannot begin to thank the staff for all they have done for us over the years and our little girl I really believe would not be what she is today without them. I hope this helps other parents looking for a great safe place to put their little ones while having to be away from them.
Kind regards,
Jeremy
