Low staff turnover, sense of community.

Amazing faculty and teachers that know each kid by name and build relationships with them. The learning curriculum is strong preparing kids really well for kindergarten and beyond. Facility is clean, well maintained, and has everything a growing preschooler needs.

Amazing teachers and students!

The teachers are amazing at truly making Primrose School feel like a school for kids rather than a babysitting daycare. They care about their development from an independence and intelligence standpoint. They give the experience of love, comfort and fun every day! And thank you to the management staff who hold true to these values and reinforce them to the teachers every day. We all know it starts from the top down :)

All of the teachers are amazing and makes this place special. Mrs T, Ms Garcia, Mrs Faircloth, Ms Amanda, Mrs Smith, Ms Eliana, Mrs Gajewski, Ms Foerman have been instrumental to our children’s confidence and learning. In addition the directors and coaches have been a pleasure to interact with and are externally helpful.

The overall welcoming and loving staff. You feel the heart of it from the Director, Ellen Kulbeda, at the Primrose school of South Elgin right when you walk in. Then as you walk through you can feel that continue in the classrooms with the teachers. To how they communicate with the parents and how they work with the children, their passion just shines through! It is so comforting and uplifting to know my children are in good hands but also are truly developing as they should with the help of these teachers. I know people can make or break a company, an organization, a store, etc, so to feel blessed enough to be apart of a school who truly embodies what it means to be a good person is incredible. Thank you to Ellen Kulbeda and the entire staff to creating a school we can call a second home and a place our children are truly excited to go to every day.

We love that there is always someone at the front desk. Everyone knows your name and your child’s name. The teachers are phenomenal. Great education, caring, listeners, personalized, and the list goes on. The pictures in the app and frequent communication are much appreciated. We also love the activities and events the school puts on.

Their balanced learning approach mixes purposeful play with academics, enrichment like music, art, sign language, and even intro to foreign languages or composers. When it's a good location, the staff feels like family—warm, attentive, and genuinely invested. Many say their kids run in excited and come home happy, with daily updates via apps (photos, notes) that give peace of mind. Clean facility, secure entry, fun activities, and a focus on character development (like community service and kindness) get a lot of praise. It's often described as feeling like a "home away from home."

We are incredibly happy with our experience here and cannot recommend this center highly enough. Ellen is absolutely fantastic; she runs a tight ship operationally while making it clear how deeply she cares for both the students and her team. Her strong leadership creates a positive environment that is reflected in the top-notch staff she hires and retains. Every teacher we have interacted with has been professional, attentive, and genuinely kind to our children. It gives us immense peace of mind to drop our kids off knowing they are safe, happy, and in excellent hands. We are so grateful to be part of a community that balances high standards with such a loving atmosphere.
