We love our teachers at Primrose - Ms Shakia, Ms Betty, and Ms Kyra, as well as all the helpers. Our toddler Julian is very happy there and hitting all his milestones early. We’ll be sending our infant soon too. Hours are also great, and we appreciate that there are very few closures (no spring break, for instance)
The teachers are fantastic, warm, engaged, and caring. The curriculum is great for child development. And the administration has been transparent and communicative.
I’ve already recommended Primrose repeatedly. I love the curriculum, love how thoughtful, caring, and engaged the teachers are, and really value the many ways the staff and teachers find to make the school feel like a community—from parades to food drives.
Great teachers and staff. Great quality of care and learning. I wouldn’t mind if they (the teachers/staff) were able to have more breaks to keep them energized and motivated. Tuition is too high to have to also pay for school supplies, though.
We have had a great experience with Primrose. Teachers are kind and attentive, the admin staff are superb and the school is beautiful. My only recommendations would be as follows:
1) For infants- consider incorporating some climbing toys to support their movement, particularly because they are the ones that go out the least

2) I am a bit worried about my infant moving to the next group where there is no window in the room. I hope when they are at this age, they can
3) for all grades, I don't think the children get enough fresh air. I understand weather constraints; however, in other schools all kids would get out regardless of the weather at least once a day. I would like for PRIMROSE to put this level of effort in taking them out at least once even when its very cold or very hot.
4) The hallways are too cold during the summer. The changes of temperature can be very abrupt, specially for the little ones. Suggest to regulate the temperature there.
We love Primrose in Arlington. The daily updates are so wonderful and I don't feel like I'm missing my daughter's milestones when she's away from me. They have such wonderful teachers! Highly recommend.
A wonderful school with solid educational programming, plenty of time for play and exploration, and teachers who genuinely care for every child in the room. We are so grateful for Primrose!
