What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Our daughter started at Primrose Creekside a couple years ago and she absolutely loves it! The teachers are wonderful and caring! She has loved all the teachers she’d had so far. The leadership team is also amazing!! They greet you with a smile every morning, brightening up the start of your day! We would definitely recommend Primrose for all those looking for exceptional care and education for their little ones.
Primrose in creekside has been such a blessing to our family. We have 2 kids there, and its the only place I'd trust with kids, especially under 18 months. The teachers and staff are so loving towards the kids, and the curriculum is quite impressive and very age appropriate. I think what says the most is the other wonderful families we have met that send their kids to primrose as well. The school is very clean, the food is a well rounded variety, and the kids get to experience a lot between the festivals and community service opportunities.
Primrose Creekside is a wonderful school, it feels more like a family. I was apprehensive at first, not about the school but to send my child to a daycare in general. This school has put me at ease. It is not just a job for the teachers, they really enjoy what they do and it shows in how they care for the kids, loving them and helping them to develop. The staff are also very accommodating and understanding to parents needs. I highly recommend Primrose Creekside.
Our daughter has been part of the Primrose family for the past few years, and as she turns 5, it’s amazing to see how much she’s grown—academically, emotionally, and socially. From the very first day, the teachers and staff have made us feel like we were leaving her in the hands of people who truly care. The curriculum has struck such a wonderful balance between learning and play—she’s constantly surprising us with new things she’s learned, from early reading and math skills to kindness and responsibility. What stands out most is the genuine warmth and dedication of the staff. They don’t just teach; they nurture. It’s clear that they love what they do, and that makes all the difference. We’re so grateful for the strong foundation Primrose has given our daughter—one built on curiosity, confidence, and compassion. Thank you for helping her grow into the bright, joyful little person she’s becoming.
What I liked most about our experience at Primrose School was the wonderful balance of curriculum, caring teachers, and a nurturing environment. The curriculum kept my child engaged and excited to learn each day, while the teachers showed genuine care and attention to every student’s growth. I also really appreciated the school’s strong values and the clear, consistent communication with parents. It truly felt like a community that supported both academic and personal development. I’ve been so happy with our experience that I’ve recommended three families — two are currently on the waiting list, and one family has already started in my daughter’s class!
