We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Primrose. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated, and they create such a warm, nurturing environment for every child. Our son has learned so much since starting here, and we’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, social skills, and curiosity. We are so grateful to the entire staff and highly recommend this school to any family looking for an exceptional preschool.

We love it here! It feels so welcoming and safe every time we drop off our child. They are always engaged and cared for, and we couldn't ask for a better place to grow

The school is very structured and organized, athough lacking flexibility sometimes, it's overall a great experience. Staff are very friendly. Enviorment is perfect for little ones.

Our 6mo started at Primrose UES and has loved it. She loves her teachers and classmate friends - is happy to be dropped off and throughout the day. And we’ve felt completely confident and comfortable in their care. Our little one is learning something new every week, coming home with all sorts of new tricks (clapping, jabbering, standing, etc.). The school administration is great to work with - clear communication, efficient and cares about the experience of the families. Couldn’t recommend Primrose more.

Miss Jakirah and Miss Eugenia are so good with our son. I feel at ease dropping him off knowing he is in a safe and nurturing environment. He is learning so much and we're so proud of him.

We love how organized school leadership is and how caring and knowledgeable our classroom teachers are.

The staff at Primrose is amazing––everyone knows and cares for our son, they feel like true partners in his development and growth. He is happy and healthy and learning. We feel he is truly adored and valued by everyone at Primrose.

Primrose has been such a welcoming community for our family. Our daughter has learned so much and truly loves going to school each day. Our teachers and all the staff are fantastic and are the fabric that make Primrose the happy place it is.


My son and I have had such a positive experience with Primrose! He loves his teachers, and enjoys being in the classroom with his classmates every day. Thank you for building such a safe, nuturing, and joyful environment for these children!

Primrose is the best daycare on the Upper East Side! The teachers are amazing, leadership is responsive and engaged in the everyday workings of the schools. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

Very kind and nurturing towards our son.

Caring and friendly Structured and kind teachers Children are encouraged to express themselves

Ms. Gisselle and Ms. Vanessa are excellent! We loved the effective communications and all the photos on Procare! If we can make one suggestion - it'd be great if Primrose can help facilitate better community-building that involves parents (e.g., appoint class parents to organize a parent chat group and family activities in school).

We are so happy with our decision to enroll our daughter at Primrose 82nd St! My husband and I were constantly going back-and-forth between nanny or daycare, and after touring some daycare and interviewing nannies, we still weren’t sure - that is, until we went to Primrose. From the moment we walked in for our tour, we knew this would be a place that would treat our daughter as if she were their own while in their care. In every aspect, Primrose exceeds our expectations. The center is extremely clean and they take great care for extra sanitation if anyone is sick. At pickup I often see the toys soaking or the mattresses propped up to be cleaned. The curriculum is super cute and developmentally appropriate, and our daughter always comes home tired from a full day of play and learning. Over the weekends we frequently are treated to a new skill picked up from her teachers or classmates (last week was moving her finger over her lips to make sounds, last month crawling at lightening speed, etc). And the teachers and admin - I cannot say enough good things about them! From an admin perspective, everything is tracked and organized perfectly, and we constantly get updates on what our daughter is doing and what is upcoming. If anything is astray I am notified promptly and there are many opportunities for interaction with leadership, who all know all families by name. And the teachers are FANTASTIC. In the classroom, there are two lead teachers and then additional float staff who are full time, so known to the kids and families. My daughter squeals when we walk in the room and puts her arm out to be picked up by one of her teachers, and I’ve come to consider them part of my village. From recommendations on different meals to try to giving us teething tips and tricks and everything in between, I know I can rely on her teachers to help make sure my daughter is taken care of and pushed to grow. They are always happy to see her at drop off and I get a full report at pickup of her day - activities, demeanor, sleep/eat/diaper updates- everything you could need to know. Plus lots of cute pictures! I have never once worried about my daughter after I dropped her off – I know she’s going to not only have fun but also be safe and loved, and that’s everything I could ask for in a school. You cannot go wrong by enrolling your child at Primrose!

My child is engaged all day long and learning!

Reliable, clean, caring.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience. The teachers, admins, and support staff are all incredible. Everything is so organized and clean. It’s been a dream!

First, my son clearly loves being at Primrose and his caretakers (Jasmin and Carolyn are the best!) which is most important. But the staff here overall is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and pleasant, it's really be an unexpected nice way to start even my day!

Staff is so nice and really cares for the children. A step above other daycares.
