Fantastic Learning Environment for Toddlers!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Primrose. The teachers are incredibly patient, nurturing, and dedicated to creating a warm and engaging learning environment. Our child has flourished here—developing social skills, learning new concepts every day, and enjoying fun, hands-on activities that make learning exciting.

The curriculum is well-structured, balancing play-based learning with early educational foundations. We especially appreciate the emphasis on creativity, communication, and fostering independence. The staff truly cares about the children, ensuring their safety, comfort, and development at every step.

It’s amazing to see our toddler come home excited to share what they’ve learned. We highly recommend Primrose, to any parent looking for a wonderful early childhood education experience!

In our experience with Primrose School, we’ve truly appreciated how much the teachers genuinely care about each child. They’re incredibly attentive and create an environment where children feel valued and understood. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to engage and develop young minds, and the teachers consistently find ways to make learning fun and memorable.

What stands out is how they partner with parents, like when they helped our daughter with potty training—it was such a success thanks to their support and helping reinforce behaviors. We also love the special event they organize, adding extra joy and excitement for the kids. It’s been wonderful knowing our daughter is in such caring and capable hands.

From curriculum to the daily pickup chats with the staff, Primrose School of South Elgin truly holds to their mission, to "Forge a path that leads to a brighter future for all children". Their vision unfolds as my son improves in his everyday experiences and behavior, and I highly recommend this early education path to any parent!

Oh Primrose- where to even begin? I will start with my biggest regret- not having my children enrolled here sooner. This is a school. This is not a glorified daycare. This is absolutely an environment that fosters learning, growth, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Our oldest child went through the private Kindergarten at Primrose and the impact this singular decision will have on his future far exceeds anything we could have hoped for. He got more than a foundation at Primrose- he got a solid education and a skillset that will have a lifelong influence. Upon graduating from the Primrose private kindergarten program, he went on to public school where he is in their kindergarten (we didn’t want to push him ahead to 1st grade as we wanted the transition to elementary school to be easier on him). We have learned that he is not at a kindergarten reading level- he is at a SECOND GRADE reading level! Not only that, but we have been informed that of the 10 children that graduated from Primrose last year (either from the pre-K or Kindergarten program) and then went on to attend our same public elementary school, ALL TEN children are above grade level for reading. They are advanced enough that they are having to be pulled from their regular classroom reading time to work with a teacher that can teach them phonics/reading at the level these children are already at. There are only 2 non-Primrose children in their elementary school that are also being pulled for advanced phonics/reading skills. Furthermore, we have been informed that our son is also advanced in his math skills, and he will be pulled from his regular kindergarten math coursework to focus on more challenging math curriculum that more closely meet him where his skills lie. Now I would LOVE to take credit for his achievements. I would love to tell you that mom and dad taught him all that he knows. But that would be dishonest of me. We owe all of this development to Primrose- to the curriculum that they employ, to the safe and nurturing environment that they provide, and especially to the teachers and staff that work day and night to give these children a head start in life. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Primrose- they go above and beyond for their students and the community in everyway possible. THANK YOU PRIMROSE!

My son went to primrose for 3 years. They have help shape my son into a well rounded individual. They teach about community and kindness! Which I feel we need more of in this world. We are very thankful for primrose and their staff.

Our daughter spent 16 months at Primrose School of South Elgin. The Primrose curriculum, teachers, and support staff are nothing short of amazing! My daughter LOVED going to school and she learned so much. Although we had to move out of state, the teachers and staff tat Primrose of South Elgin have become an extension of our family. I didn't cry the first day we dropped our daughter off, but I sobbed when we had to say goodbye. We will miss them!
