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!

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!

The teachers are attentive to the students’ needs and seem to truly care about their development. The parents are kept informed and continuously updated on their child and his daily activities. The whole school is run efficiently and professionally.

We have had the best experience with Primrose. The teachers are wonderful, it’s so spacious and clean, and most importantly - my son loves it! He so enjoys all his friends and the activities they do. We couldn’t be happier :)

Primrose is a very warm and caring environment where all the staff knows all the students and make everyone feel welcome. They have a consistent and well planned structure to the classroom materials that has definitely manifested itself in our child's growth. Our daughter never wants to leave at the end of the day, which shows she's really enjoyed her time, and that speaks volumes.

I always felt like my family was welcome, safe and cared for. The kindness, compassion and communication is unparalleled and the way primrose teachers have given my child confidence and love is something I can’t be more thankful for.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t be happier with Primrose School of Manhattan! From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew it was the perfect place for our son. The teachers are incredibly warm, nurturing, and attentive — they truly go above and beyond to make each child feel safe and valued. The curriculum strikes a wonderful balance between learning and play, helping our son grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We’ve seen such a positive growth in his confidence and curiosity year over year. The communication from the staff is fantastic, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way. We are so grateful to have found a preschool that treats our child like family. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a caring and enriching environment!
