Primrose School provides an exceptional environment where children truly thrive through a perfect balance of academics and play. The dedicated teachers go above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing atmosphere that makes every child feel safe and valued. It is incredible to see the rapid growth in social skills and character development, especially with their focus on kindness and responsibility. The facility is consistently immaculate and secure, providing parents with total peace of mind throughout the day. Choosing this school feels like joining a supportive community that is deeply committed to giving every child a head start in life. Anber Lahmala

Primrose Bristow is the BEST childcare experience we've had to date. Excellent culture maintained and very present ownership/management. Everyone knows our child's name and she is so excited to go to school. Teachers are caring and calm, and are wonderfully attentive to the kids.

The best teachers you could ever find! They make the experience of learning so fun and enjoyable. They are caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy. All this really helps to keep a working mum at ease. Thank you for all you do!! Special shout out to Ms Vivian, Ms Jordan, Ms Ninel, Ms Jessica, Ms Alice, Ms Hailey, Ms Juana, Ms Estrella, Ms Manu and Ms Amber! 😀

Teachers, Staff, Students, Families, Traditions, Culture, Discipline, Activities - every experience at this Primrose has been exceptional for our family.

We have been very pleased with our teachers and everyone there. We know we can trust them with the care and education of our son.

We’ve had an outstanding experience at Primrose School of Bristow. From day one, the staff made us feel welcome and supported. The teachers combine warmth with professionalism—they notice the little things, celebrate progress, and partner with parents. Our child has grown tremendously here: stronger social skills, a love for learning, and more independence than we expected at this age. The classroom routines are thoughtful, the learning activities are engaging, and the balance of play, literacy, math, art, and outdoor time feels just right. Safety and cleanliness are clearly a priority, and the front office communicates quickly and clearly whenever questions come up. We also appreciate the consistent daily updates and photos that show what the class is working on—it helps us reinforce learning at home. Logistically, drop-off/pick-up is organized and friendly, which matters on busy mornings. Most importantly, our child is happy to go to school and comes home proud of what he did each day. That’s the best review of all. Five stars for Primrose Bristow—thank you to the entire team for caring so well for our family!

The staff is very friendly, the front desk is knowledgeable about any questions I had as a parent, and the school puts on lots of fun events for the children!

Primrose has been nothing less than amazing. I have one child who has been there through infancy and he has learned so much and it can be seen by all of those around him and his pediatrician. I have another son who is on the low end of the spectrum but his time during summer camp has greatly helped him and I can see the increase in his understanding and socialization skills!

Great teachers, friendly and fun atmosphere, learning activities even for the infants

Teachers are great, facility is well run, and the app helps keep us up to date during the day

Great field trips for school age class, thank you!

The staff is very friendly and welcoming! I feel comfortable leaving my child thhere because I know they are in great hands!

My daughter has been attending Primrose School since she was 3 years old. The teachers have been very helpful with her potty training. Now she is preparing to start kindergarten this summer. Although we don't teach her English at home, I never worry about her English. She knows letters and numbers...simple words and she also surprises me with her reading ability. The school provides a good learning environment for children and she always have fun every day.

We really appreciated the structure, the communication from staff, and the nurturing environment at Primrose. Josiah always came home excited about what he learned, and we could see his growth both academically and socially. The staff truly cared about the students, and that made a big difference for our family. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in a safe, engaging, and supportive space every day.

We absolutely love the staff! 3 kids in our family go to Primrose and all of them love their teachers and friends. They amaze us everyday with the new things they learn. I am kept up to date with learning plans and know they are receiving top notch care. No doubt that this is the best school for kids.

High quality well rounded education that builds intellect, independence, and social skills.

Our daughter completed the Pre-K program at Primrose of Bristow and we were blown away by how much she learned in one year’s time. If you’re looking for a center with a curriculum- look no further! If you’re looking for a center with a family feel- look no further! From the moment you come through the front door, you will feel right at home. The owner and the administrators are so friendly and welcoming and I love that they treat their staff with respect and kindness. It is no surprise that the school has little turnover- something quite rare in a daycare setting. The staff is always smiling and you can feel how much they love what they do. I appreciate the clear communication we receive as parents and also that cleanliness is held to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend Primrose of Bristow to family and friends. Our only regret is that we did not find them sooner!

good curriculum, good teachers

Excellent care tailored to individual students, extreme attention to detail, the teachers are clearly very enthusiastic about their work with the children and seem beyond qualified for their roles. There are also so many sweet, thoughtful touches, like artworks made my the children and given as beautifully wrapped gifts for special occasions, treats frequently offered at the front desk, and fun opportunities to socialize with the other parents. Photos are sent almost every day and show our children’s real time participation in various activities including that which are part of the curriculum - the curriculum is very impressive in itself.

Friendly staff, clean facility, and attentive teachers
