Hello!
Firstly, thank you and your staff for the care you provide to our children. We have been very happy with our experience at the center.
I recently watched a documentary about plastics and began reading some of the underlying scientific research. While the science is still evolving, I learned that many researchers recommend reducing children's exposure to certain plastic-related chemicals—particularly when food is served in disposable foam containers or with single-use plastic utensils.
I wanted to ask whether Primrose has considered transitioning away from styrofoam food containers and disposable plastic silverware, when practical, in favor of alternatives such as reusable stainless-steel utensils, reusable dishware, or paper-based products.
My interest comes from several peer-reviewed studies and reviews that have raised concerns about chemicals used in some plastics, including phthalates and bisphenols, which can migrate into food and are known to interact with hormone systems. Children are often considered a population worth protecting because their bodies are still developing.
A few examples of the research that influenced my thinking:
1. Swan et al. (2005)
"Decrease in Anogenital Distance among Male Infants with Prenatal Phthalate Exposure"
Environmental Health Perspectives, 113(8), 1056–1061
DOI: 10.1289/ehp.8100
Plain summary:
Researchers found that higher prenatal exposure to certain phthalates was associated with measurable differences in male infant reproductive development. This study was among the first human studies to suggest that some plastic-related chemicals may affect hormone-regulated development.
2. Swan et al. (2015)
"First Trimester Phthalate Exposure and Anogenital Distance in Newborns"
Human Reproduction, 30(4), 963–972
Plain summary:
This later study observed similar associations in a different group of families, providing additional evidence that prenatal exposure to certain phthalates may influence developmental outcomes.
3. Levine et al. (2017)
"Temporal Trends in Sperm Count: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Analysis"
Human Reproduction Update
Plain summary:
This large review analyzed data from many studies and reported a substantial decline in sperm counts among men in several Western countries over recent decades. The study did not prove a cause, but it prompted increased research into environmental exposures, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
I understand that food-service decisions involve cost, sanitation requirements, and operational considerations, and I am not suggesting that current practices are unsafe. Rather, I am hoping Primrose might consider whether lower-plastic alternatives are feasible over time as part of its commitment to children's health and well-being.
Thank you for considering this request. I appreciate the work you and your staff do every day, and I would be happy to discuss this further if helpful.

We really admire how our kids keep learning more and more at Primrose. Really appreciate the professionalism and the care that the staff provide.
One thing that I would like to see would be to have more plant protein options in the kids menu. I understand that not many kids would eat plant protein when there's meat option, but it really makes a huge difference for families that don't consume meat.

Penrose has been amazing to us! With my first child and first time using daycare they have made me feel so comfortable. My husband if in another state as of now and he has the app so that has helped him feel comfortable as well. The staff is amazing and the infant room was phenomenal. If we could stay we would.

I love Primrose and how much my children have learned and have grown with the help, love and guidance of the teachers and staff of primrose. While dropping my child off I know he is in a caring and nurturing classroom and when I pick him up he can't wait to tell me about his day and all the things he learned and fun he had. I also see the other students radiating with happiness and it is very reassuring to see the happiness throughout the whole school.

Management is wonderful. The teachers are wonderful. I like the curriculum. It is a safe environment. I really love everything about Primrose, except its events. I appreciate and enjoy the memories made fron the events, but I wish they were easier to attend. There are so many people in such small spaces that it causes families to wait in line for extended periods of time, theres no place for families to sit, and it just isn't an enjoyable time. I would suggest hosting events in multiple spaces/rooms instead of just one or staggering the events over multiple days for the different classrooms, or staggering when people arrived by last name (last names a-g come from 430-5, last names g-t come from 5-30). Just things to think about!

Most of the teachers are well trained and the classrooms are updated and well equipped with appropriate play and learning items.
Meals are well balanced. I wish the afternoon snack was more substantial with more protein as my children are extremely hungry when I pick them up around 4 pm.
I do not like that there is an ipad available preschool. I originally had my child be unable to use the ipad, but that singled him out and made him upset in class. There is so much for young children to play and learn during the day, I don't think ipads should even be an option in the classroom for children kindergarten and younger.
