My daughter's time at Primrose was a positive experience, thanks to her wonderful teachers. Their care and dedication were truly appreciated.
However, our family's experience with the administration, specifically with director Carlee Peterson, was very concerning. We were considering enrolling our three-year-old, and without our authorization, she took it upon herself to debit our account the registration fee.
Normally, the Procare app is a tool that requires parents to authorize payments for charges. But in this case, the money was taken immediately and without our consent.
When we decided not to enroll our son, Carlee refused to issue a refund. This was not only an unauthorized charge but also a clear lack of fairness.
This experience, along with an outstanding refund due to overpayment, which we are still waiting on since early May, has completely eroded our trust in the school's leadership. I urge other parents to be extremely cautious and vigilant regarding billing and communication with the school's administration and specifically with Carlee Peterson.
**Update 8/28/2025**
Leadership reached out and apologized sincerely. I received a check in the mail today. Review has been updated to 5 stars as the staff were amazing outside of this incident.

My daughter loves walking into school everyday and is welcomed with a warm smile and hug which lets me know she feels loved and cared for. As a mom I couldn’t imagine my child learning and growing anywhere else. The staff are so welcoming and take the time to get to know each family on a personal level and make my family feel special. We absolutely adore Primrose School at Lakewood Ranch North.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Primrose School. Our son has truly thrived since starting there—he’s more independent, confident, and curious than ever. The teachers and staff create such a warm, structured environment that fosters both learning and personal growth. He’s learned so much, from early academics to social skills, and comes home excited to share new things every day. We’re so grateful for the care and support he receives and highly recommend Primrose to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching early education.

Our daughter went to preschool and summer camp at Primrose Lakewood Ranch North, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff is amazing, the curriculum is great, and she always came home excited about her day. Highly recommend.

If you value fairness and communication stay away from this location…
I had a very negative experience with this location and Carlee, their Assistant Director.
I reached out to her inquiring about putting my daughter on the waitlist and scheduling a tour. Carlee was pleasant and responsive to my emails and I paid the $200 deposit for the waitlist.
During the tour, I was told that when our spot is available I will be given “plenty of time- at least several weeks notice” before my daughter needs to start.
For the next several months I occasionally emailed Carlee inquiring about when can we expect to start- not ONE time did I get an email back.
Almost a year later, Carlee called to tell me there is a spot available and our child would need to start on Monday (which was a few days away...). I told her that we are away on vacation and won't be back by then. She told me we can “start whenever we want but need to start paying tuition on Monday or we lose the spot”.
What happened to the several weeks notice I was told we would get?
I said we’ll just wait until next school year as this year was almost up anyway.
I called the school 2 months later asking about next year and was told the 2 classes they had were filled already and our child won’t have a spot…
I was also told I will be getting a call “within a week” to see if they decided to add another class so I can plan accordingly. Nobody ever called. I emailed Carlee once again and no answer.
This location has been nothing but headaches. I imagine there are probably hundreds of families who get on the waitlist only to never get a spot or near from this school again.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to foster both academic and social-emotional development, creating a well-rounded learning experience. The facility is impeccably clean and well-maintained, giving us peace of mind about our child’s safety and well-being. Communication is top-notch; the staff keeps us informed with regular updates, photos, and personal touches that show they truly care about each child. The teachers and staff are not only highly qualified but also warm and nurturing, making our child feel comfortable and supported every day. Leadership is visible and approachable, ensuring the school runs smoothly and any concerns are addressed promptly. Additionally, the convenient location is a huge plus for our busy schedule. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll here!

We are so lucky and blessed to have our daughter be a part of the Primrose family. The staff here are incredibly organized, kind and professional. The communication we get is top tier and we really enjoy the photos posted daily with all the fun details on activities and even what is for lunch. The sign in and out app is easy to use and streamlined. They have an awesome outside playground area split for ages and do fun activities constantly out there. Inside the building is always very clean and has a calming aura with subtle relaxing music in the hallways. Drop off is always a breeze because of how excited our kid is to get her day started here. Summer camp is HUGE bonus and is very well planned with all kinds of fun!

My son, who is almost 3 years old, has been at Primrose North since he was just 3 months old, and it has truly become his second home. He’s always happy to go to daycare every day, which speaks volumes about the environment they’ve created. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with every classroom and every teacher he’s had over the years. I’m looking forward to the remaining years we have here until he’s ready for school. I’m so grateful that my son is part of the Primrose North family! 🩵

Primrose School at LWR North is the best. We have seen our kids and their friends grow into great people at Primrose. The school’s philosophy is evident, teaching kindness, respect and other important values.The teachers put a lot of work into the care they provide. Our kids really like their teachers because the learning is engaging. The Administrators do a wonderful job keeping a parent’s peace of mind while also planning fun events throughout the year. Give them a strong consideration, for sure!

We love Primrose LWR North! We’ve been with this Primrose location since they opened and love the teachers and staff. We currently have two kids attending - one in the infant room and one in VPK. The infant room is amazing. My daughter can’t wait to see her teachers - Mrs. Carvalho and Mrs. Velez - every morning. My mama heart rests easy knowing she has such amazing caretakers. They have not only taken care of our girl but helped us with many firsts - including the introduction of table foods and sippy cups. My son adores his VPK teachers Miss Bailey and Miss Hulse and has maintained a close relationship with the staff and his former teachers (many of whom he’s known since he was 2!). Highly recommend!
