It’s amazing, I had a blast going there. I don’t have much to say but I still think the school is amazing and so do my brothers who also went there and go there now in 2026.

Primrose bullies towns in Massachusetts through the Dover Amendment which allows them to bypass zoning regulations for churches or schools. If you appeal their plans to build they sue the town. If you’re considering the location in Reading Mass ask about their safety and rescue plans - and compare it to other centers. You may find them to be pretty reckless.

I would leave a 0 if possible. Teachers/attendants would spray bleach solution on tables near children's food while children were still eating. A teacher let a bottle of dehydrated orbeez fall on the ground because they thought it was a suitable toy for children while I called for a vacuum 4 times while scooping orbeez out of 2-3 year old mouths. A different teacher would grad and yank children around in a way that could have risked dislocation.

I am honored to share a deeply felt perspective on a remarkable professional journey my daughter undertook. She had the opportunity to work with the proprietor, Ms. Senna, and the Director, Sally, at Primrose School, Forest Hill MD. Her experiences with the school’s leadership have been profoundly inspiring and overwhelmingly positive. They illuminate, with clarity and heart, how purposeful, empathetic, and principled leadership can elevate the entire organization empowering staff, nurturing growth, and cultivating a thriving, collaborative workplace. I have encouraged my daughter to continue her professional path within the school, especially under Ms. Senna’s stewardship. Ms. Senna’s leadership has already left a meaningful imprint on her development, guiding her toward greater confidence, resilience, and a committed sense of service. It is a testament to how thoughtful, values-driven leadership can shape not only organizational outcomes but the aspirations and character of the individuals who contribute to the mission.

Primrose School of Danville, CA (management of Samira Ramzanali) If could leave zero rating stars, I would, nor do I do this lightly. Without a shadow of a doubt, Primrose School of Danville is the most poorly run, dysfunctional, and toxic environment I have ever worked in as a professional. After being employed for 3 months, I highly advise against ever sending your children there, let alone having to work there. There's a reason why they are incredibly under-staffed. I feel horrible for anyone who has to step foot through that door. Warning: do not send your children there, unless you favor negative energy and constant distractions that will detract from any sort of learning. Personally, I have never written any sort of review before, yet felt imperative to do so in this case.

Leaving your child in someone else’s care requires an enormous amount of trust, and unfortunately, our experience at Primrose Hughes Landing in The Woodlands broke that trust in ways I am still trying to process as a parent. While the school is beautiful on the outside, the care on the inside did not feel nurturing, attentive, or emotionally safe. There was frequent staff turnover, which made it difficult for my child to feel secure or build consistent relationships. Instead of thriving, I watched my child struggle. Most concerning was the noticeable regression we experienced after enrolling. My child began picking up negative behaviors that were not present before, and we even experienced a setback in potty training — something that had already been successfully established. Watching your child move backward emotionally and developmentally is incredibly upsetting, and no parent should have to question whether an environment is contributing to that. When I brought concerns forward, I did not feel met with empathy or partnership. Communication from leadership felt dismissive and defensive, as though policies mattered more than the well-being of the children. I often left feeling unheard and uneasy rather than reassured. Childcare should feel like a trusted extension of your home — a place where children are supported, guided, and cared for with patience and understanding. Instead, this experience felt cold and impersonal, and it took an emotional toll on our family. I carried constant anxiety, wondering what my child was being exposed to and how it was affecting them. I truly wanted this to be a positive experience, but it fell far short. I hope this school reflects deeply on how its environment, staffing, and leadership impact children during such critical developmental years. Parents deserve transparency, compassion, and care — and children deserve better.

The Teachers are under paid, there is no routine or structure for the kids. The support staff are not supportive to the teachers. No discipline which causes kids to fight and get hurt all the time.

After four years at Primrose of Lakehill, I am deeply disappointed with how my son and our family were treated, particularly by the staff and the owner. What ultimately led us to withdraw was a consistent pattern of unprofessional conduct, poor judgment, and a clear inability to appropriately support a young child. My son’s teacher, consistently told me during drop-offs and parent teacher conferences that my son was doing well and shared positive feedback. However, I later learned she was telling other parents that my 5 year old was a “bad influence.” Speaking negatively about a child to other parents, especially one so young, is extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. The most concerning behavior came from the owner, Christine, whose conduct during the final weeks was highly unprofessional. I received constant calls during the workday demanding that I pick up my son immediately due to “emergencies” caused by tantrums. These repeated interruptions negatively affected my job performance, with no empathy or flexibility shown. Tantrums are developmentally appropriate at this age, yet the staff appeared unable or unwilling to handle them. Despite paying high tuition per month for two children, I was repeatedly made to feel as though my child was an inconvenience rather than a student deserving care and guidance. Another major concern was that naps were completely eliminated for the children. After visiting multiple other daycare centers, I learned that most schools continue naps and gradually phase them out closer to the start of the school year. Removing naps entirely for young children contributed significantly to overstimulation and emotional dysregulation, yet this was never addressed. My son was frequently placed in rooms with older children (ages 7+) during aftercare. Soon after, he began repeating inappropriate English words and phrases that are not used in our home (we are a Spanish speaking household). Rather than addressing the environment, responsibility was shifted onto my child. On multiple occasions, my son was removed from the classroom due to tantrums. The final incident occurred when he threw a toy, after which the teacher stated the classroom “did not feel safe” with him present. Suggesting that a classroom is unsafe because of a five year old raises serious concerns about staff training and preparedness. At that point, it was clear that my son was the one who no longer felt safe. There were further serious safety and judgment issues: My son required a specialist visit after placing a small bead in his ear, items that a specialist confirmed should never be accessible in a daycare setting. When I sent a water bottle with my child, staff hid it to prevent him from using it, choosing instead to give tap water without consent or communication. Over time, it became clear that this daycare expects children to be submissive and compliant, rather than supported as individuals. Labeling children instead of helping them is not okay. This school has changed significantly over the years, and not for the better. I cannot recommend Primrose of Lakehill to any family. Save yourself the stress, time, and money and look elsewhere.
