Our son Liam attended Primrose at Preston Meadow for three wonderful years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The teachers and staff are caring, dedicated, and truly invested in the children’s growth and happiness. We always felt Liam was safe, loved, and learning something new every day. We’re so grateful for the strong foundation they’ve given him — thank you for being such a special part of our lives!
Primrose Preston Meadow is the BEST. Our kids are so cared for, all of the staff and teachers are friendly and so happy when they greet us at the door every morning/evening. Both of our kids are thriving and absolutely love coming to school. We are eternally grateful for y’all. Thank you for all that you do.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Primrose School of Plano at Preston Meadow for our daughter Genevieve. From the moment we enrolled her, we knew she was in a special place, one that balances warmth, structure, and genuine love for the children in their care. Starting daycare is such a big step, and as parents, we had the usual nerves. But those quickly faded thanks to the kindness, professionalism, and clear communication from the staff. Every teacher we’ve encountered has shown such heart, they truly see Genevieve for who she is, and they’ve embraced her with open arms. Genevieve absolutely loves going to daycare. Every morning she’s excited to go, and it means so much to us to know that she feels safe, happy, and loved there. She comes home chattering about her day; reading stories, painting masterpieces, and playing outside with her friends. These are more than just activities, they’re experiences that are helping her learn, build confidence, and develop friendships. We’ve seen her thrive in every way, socially and emotionally, and we credit so much of that growth to the care she receives at Primrose School of Plano at Preston Meadow. The staff keeps us updated with thoughtful notes and photos that brighten our day and give us real insight into what she’s learning and experiencing. We truly feel like partners in her development. To everyone at Primrose School of Plano at Preston Meadow: thank you. Thank you for your patience, your dedication, your creativity, and for loving our daughter so well. You’ve given our family peace of mind, and Genevieve a second home. We cannot recommend Primrose School of Plano at Preston Meadow highly enough!
Picking a daycare is going to be a stressful decision as a parent. However, since the first time we came to visit Primrose Preston Meadow, we felt like family. It is not only the assigned teachers that are taking care of our girls, but the entire staff. We know our girls are happy, safe and constantly learning while in their care and that is the best feeling you can have as a parent.
Primrose Preston Meadow has been such an amazing experience for us as a family. It is very evident that Ms. Bee and the other infant teachers care so much about the babies. Our daughter has grown socially and always has a smile on her face when I pick her up. The entire staff is wonderful and has made me feel confident in my daughters care and safety. I would recommend to anyone!
