Ms. Maureen, Ms. McKayla, Ms. Vanessa and the Primrose staff have been so amazing. As a first time daycare mom, they have made this transition so smooth. I always know that my son is being taken care of and loved on. They also make sure to share many pictures on the app throughout the day, which makes me feel even more at ease. I appreciate them all so much.
Primrose Waterside has truly bolstered my daughter's self-confidence and self-esteem. She has made some wonderful friends there. The staff at Primrose genuinely know and care about each child, creating a nurturing environment for them all.
We moved our son to this school about a year ago, and it has been one of the best decisions we've made. My husband and I have watched him grow and improve in so many ways, and we couldn’t be happier.
The school was incredibly patient and supportive throughout his potty training journey, guiding us every step of the way.
Our son, Dean, is full of energy and enthusiasm. The staff worked closely with us to ensure he receives the guidance he needs, and their level of communication is truly exceptional.
This school has given our son the space to flourish and succeed, and we are beyond grateful.
The front of house staff is phenomenal- Ryann, Meghann, and Ms. Curry all deserve a raise for how well they manage the place.
The owners are very active and it is apparent that they care.
We’ve had great teachers and my kids are excited to go every morning to see them.
Overall, we have been very pleased in our daughter's growth due to the teaching and caring she receives at Primrose. The only negative I can think of is how much turnover has happened. It's a lot of new faces. As a logic thinker, I can't help but wonder why. My daughter is happy and likes to go, so that say a lot.
Primrose at Waterside provides a warm and caring atmosphere for children. The staff members are friendly and take the time to know each child and their parents or guardians.
We cannot recommend Primrose Waterside Estates highly enough. As first-time parents, we initially hesitated to choose this daycare because it didn’t have cameras (a concern for us at the time), and we regret that decision. After experiencing two other highly recommended daycares in the area, we can confidently say that Primrose far exceeds them in every way.
From the moment you enter, there’s a palpable sense of calm. It’s immediately clear that this is a place where children are cared for, not just supervised. There’s no chaos—no kids running through hallways or overwhelming noise. Instead, you’ll see children engaged in meaningful activities and having fun within a structured, nurturing environment. Every classroom follows a well-planned curriculum designed to meet each child’s developmental needs, ensuring that learning is both enjoyable and purposeful.
The staff is exceptional. There are always enough teachers to meet state requirements, but more importantly, they’re attentive and actively engaged with the children. Whether it’s teaching, playing, or simply being present, the staff never seems rushed or distracted. It’s clear that the well-being of every child is their priority.
We also love the daily updates through the app, which include several pictures of our son’s day, so we never miss out on his progress and activities. For working parents like us, reliability is key. The hours and scheduling at Primrose are more than accommodating, which is incredibly important when our family isn’t always available to help.
One of the most impressive aspects of Primrose is the administration. The leadership team is outstanding. They are organized, communicative, and always available to address any questions or concerns. It’s evident that they run a tight ship, but more importantly, they create a positive and supportive environment for both staff and families.
Overall, our experience at Primrose Waterside Estates has been exceptional, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any parent, whether they’re just starting their daycare journey or considering a switch. We only wish we had made this decision sooner!
Everyone is very friendly and approachable. All 4 of my kids have enjoyed their experience here. They have all left fully prepared and excited for elementary school. Primrose not only helped my children knowledgeably but socially as well. This is our last year here and it is very bittersweet as it will feel like leaving a part of the family. We are so grateful to have had Primrose Waterside by our side for so many wonderful years. Thank you!
All 3 of my children have gone through and are currently going through Primrose. My oldest child attended Primrose of Kelliwood where she moved on to school with great success. My middle child went through the Pre-School and Pre-K programs at Primrose Waterside and the impact it has had on her education is profound. She was more than ready for her transition to Kindergarten academically and emotionally. She struggled with behavior but the teachers and directors worked so hard to help her identify her emotions and she has been a model student ever since. Her grades are excellent her teachers often inform me about her superior progress. This would not have been possible without the dedication of the Primrose staff.
My youngest is now starting her Primrose journey and in the few months she has been attending class, she has met her milestones at a rapid pace. Her teachers are so loving with my daughter and with all of the children in the class. They are careful and kind and knowledgeable about the developnment of infants. I appreciate their hard work and dedication.
The management staff and directors of the school are superior leaders. They are communacative with parents, are always friendly and smiling and they run a tight ship. It is clear that they love what they do and they love our kids.
I cannot express how grateful I am as a mother and as an educator to Primrose for all of their tireless efforts to make sure their students are well provided for, safe, healthy, and enjoying their day. It allows a sense of peace when I drop them off each day.
