To say Primrose was the perfect fit and experience for our 1 year old son's first exposure to school is an understatement. The entire Primrose team welcomed him and our family with an incredible amount of energy, positivity, and warmth. The administration is amazing - highly communicative, present, and supportive. Our son's teachers (Ms. O and Ms. P) are amazing; they showed him so much love, attention, and really helped him blossom. They are genuinely kind, creative, and amazing people. We became better parents because of their role in helping our son. As he moved into another class, the transition was seamless as the team had a well thought out plan to help the kids with change. Our son and family misses the Primrose community so much but we are appreciative of having this great experience before we moved.

I have been a parent of a child here since she was about 1 year old (she is almost 4). This school has exceeded my expectations in every measurable/quantifiable way ... as well as some intangibles... Let me explain. First, throughout the pandemic, they took on every precaution imaginable. I always felt heard when there was a concern. Anytime there was a child with symptoms or they needed to report a positive, they did so quickly which allowed us to make the best decision for our family. Their communication is unmatched. We receive personalized photos and updates everyday (we get the classroom ones as well but our teachers always make a point to write something about our daughter everyday). This school has given us a community. We moved to the Boston area with no family around and 2 children...during the pandemic. It was really easy to feel isolated. Primrose made us feel like a part of a community. They always have fun activities to do on site - in addition to this, we are always getting updates surrounding our daughters education.I can say, when I drop my daughter off, I don't even think twice about her being there. I know if she bumps her head or if she accomplishes something she has been working really hard on (like when she spelled her name for the first time by herself....), we will get a note or a call.Finally, we have an older daughter who is at a different school (ABA). I can not express how much Primrose treats our other daughter like part of the family. They all know about "sissy" and include her in any of the kid activities (where it makes sense). They welcome her into the classroom for drop off and pick up. They kept a spot for her in their Kindergarten room (before we decided to do public school) until we had completely figured out our path for her. They celebrate adversity, They celebrate all sorts of holidays (I grew up just outside of NYC so I was always exposed to different cultures - 20 miles outside of Boston, I am sure it would be really easy to celebrate the "usual" holidays- they go out of their way to educate the kids on different beliefs, holidays, ideas...etc).The staff is easily the best part of this school. They really go above and beyond to accommodate any and all needs. I will be sad when our daughter graduates because I won't be able to see this family who has taken us in.A special shout out to Kate L, Lori, Peaches, Alicia, Taylor...and ALL of our teachers... Thank you all for accepting our family into yours. You will never know what it meant the day we got the call that a spot had opened up.

My 1yr old joined Primrose’s infant room in May and it has been so good for her! She LOVES her teachers and has grown so much with them. The staff is very professional and truly cares about their kids.

Primrose Burlington was the right choice for my family. My oldest child has been there for 2 years, and we have very good things to say about the school, staff and grounds. A few of my favorite aspects of Primrose are:- A chef on site to make wholesome food for the kids. Not having to make lunch every day has been very helpful!- Clean and well-maintained playgrounds that are segmented based on age and skill level.- Constant communication and updates via an online portal. I adore getting the photos/updates throughout the day about what my child is up to. Seeing a smiling face always brightens my day and makes being away easier.- Parents Night Out!- Fall Sports for the older children.- Incident reports if or when needed.- Locked front doors that require family specific codes to gain entry. Safety was always a top concern for my family.- A very caring and professional staff/leadership team. The team at Primrose Burlington has been willing to go above and beyond in answering my MANY questions. What’s more, they never make me feel like I am being a burden, even though after the 20th question on the same topic, I likely am ?Thank you, Primrose, for helping to make my daycare process a positive experience!

We love PSOB and have had the best experience with our son who will be leaving the kindergarten program in 2 short weeks! The leadership team is truly incredible. They respond so quickly to emails, are always happy to talk through concerns, and they never make you feel bad for asking questions or standing up for your child. Special shout-out to Kate Latham, the principal. She is truly so special and cares so much about the children. The teachers we've had thus far have been wonderful. We have especially loved Ms. Miller, one of the kindergarten teachers. Our son has learned so much in his 2 years at Primrose, and we could not be happier with the education he received. The school itself is always immaculate, they have a diverse menu for the kiddos, and the playgrounds are beautiful. Our 2 year-old just started a couple weeks ago, and we're excited about her journey at PSOB as well! Thank you to all the amazing staff for your kindness, dedication, patience, and love. We are very grateful! <3

As a parent, I feel 100% confident my son gets the best education and love you can not find at any other school. As an employee I enjoy working in such a positive and fun environment. Coming to work is one of my favorite parts of my day!

As a parent and a staff member, I cannot speak positively enough about PSOB! I have loved working here since 2020 and my daughter (who has also been here since 2020) has loved every classroom she's been in. The staff is wonderful and leadership has always been so kind and thoughtful to myself and my child.

We’ve been with Primrose for 1.5yrs now and they’ve made a world of difference with my rambunctious 3yo., now 4. The teachers, and the admin works hard to find out what works well for him and teach him coping mechanisms for big emotions. I’m so glad we switched him over from another daycare.My 2yo loves her teachers and the school. When she first started daycare at 1yo, she rarely if ever cried during drop off. She would walk in smiling ear to ear and wave goodbye.

Our family has been with Primrose School of Burlington since our son was four months old. Now at three and a half years we have seen such amazing growth as he has moved through the Primrose curriculum. His teachers have always helped him work though the challenges of growing up. We are pleased with the education he is receiving in addition to the quality of the staff. They are communicative in general and responsive to parent input. Our son is happy and excited every day going to school and it’s amazing seeing what he learns from all the teachers he has had. Every room has evaluated him and made sure Leo is getting both his educational and emotional needs met.One huge bonus is our son loves the food. We don’t have to worry about packing a lunch or snacks for him. It removes the pressure of meal planning and gives him a wide variety of foods. Our son has made great friends and we couldn’t recommend this school more to anyone looking for a program that is educational with caring teachers and an amazing leadership team that works hard behind the scenes to help run the school smoothly so every child and teacher are supported.

Our son has been attending Primrose School of Burlington since 2018 and we couldn’t be happier with their curriculum, talented staff, super clean facilities and welcoming environment. The protocols during COVID were top-notch and helped the community to stay safe. Our son’s favorite events are pajama days, dress like a super hero, Halloween, water play during summer months, and fundraisers to help local families in need.The owners of the school (Rachel and Curt) are very caring and truly passionate about creating the best early education in the area. I have seen them go beyond what is needed for the greater good of the community. It truly feels like tight-knit family where we all care for each other. Thanks to Primrose our son will have an outstanding education foundation, indelible happy memories and amazing friends that will last for a lifetime.

Honest review from a very very heartbroken parent. Never thought I would have to deal with this in 2022. Never thought I would have to deal with this in a country where I am citizen of, in a country where my child was born, in a county where one is allowed to practice his or her religion and beliefs. Primrose is known for its diversity, but it's very event that they're clueless about other cultures, and their understanding. My first experience was while speaking with the class teacher during a 1:1 session. I asked if they celebrated other cultures, she was clueless. I reached out to the faculty in hopes to help change this a bit, fortunately received a good response and was asked to help with the school calendar to add events/ inform them of which holidays should be considered to be added or taken off the school calendar. I was more than happy to help, and did as I would want to see my child celebrate other cultures.Academically, my 3 year old was learning much more at home. While our 1:1 session I asked the teacher many questions regarding learning levels, if they challenged the kids..etc. she said no. They don't "push" the kids. Understandable, maybe thats their way of teaching, maybe I wasn't using the correct terms as I am a first time parent who is learning and wants the best for her child. But what I found strange was when the teacher told me to not let my child do so much "school work" at home because she would be bored in school, think of creative ways to do "school work" if I were to, or let her help around the house instead, which I do and did already.Lastly, my child wore a kanthi around her neck. Very commonly worn by Hindus. We were told after she attended the school for 2 months, that this wasn't allowed because they had "no necklace policy." I get that it's a policy, a safety issue. But it's also someone's religion and faith. We patiently explained them everything we possibly could. We spoke with corporate. We gave them legal language stating this would be discrimination if they did not allow my child to wear it or did not allow her to attend school. They refused to believe. While we were waiting for a response from corporate team, we got a call from the school basically telling us to come pick up our child. Most unprofessional behavior, after speaking with the corporate team for 30 minutes they didn't even have the audacity to call the parents or give an explanation, instead school sent an email Sunday night to tell us our child cannot attend school if we do not comply. That they will waive the 30 day notice policy. Basically saying they didn't want to deal with us.A place that's supposed to care for child, kicked out a child from her school because of her beliefs. I am so sad that she has made such good friends there, but I would be even more sad if my child had to be around these careless, unprofessional, culturally lost individuals.For those who thinks this is a diverse child care, please don't.

We're so happy with the care provided at Primrose Burlington. The teachers put a lot of effort and thought into designing the program. My daughter loves going there and the parents are so nice to each other. It really feels like a community! Not to mention they provide a balanced meal and snacks, the kids get time outdoor everyday (weather permitting), and they send us multiple pictures throughout the day.We've been with them for a year and we definitely recommend them!(I don't understand the 1 star review. Just because the person that did the tour didn't have a friendly face, it doesn't mean the daycare is bad! People have bad days. I'm putting 5 stars because after 1 year at primrose we are still blown away by how clean, well organized, and caring this place is. The kids learn a lot every day. They are happy and excited to meet their friends and teachers. And this is what matters)

Excellent school! Teachers are super caring and detail oriented. My daughter has been here for one year and it’s been great! Their covid protocol are great and everyone is very nice. My daughter loves her teachers. I think the one star review does not accurately reflect this place. Im not sure what that person was looking for. The staff at primrose is always very responsive to questions and complaints. Only con maybe that is a bit expensive but it’s worth the money.

As a parent of a young child, I had toured this school previously. The Director was extremely unprofessional and honestly a bit rude. Very unimpressed by this school, and happy I chose a better place for my child to attend. A friendly face is a must when trusting them with the care of my child. Do not recommend touring with them or using them for your children.
