Premier Preschool of Research Park, Huntsville | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

This review is a long time coming. We had some bad experiences with unkindness and not changing diapers at 2 other local “prestigious” daycares. We were a nervous wreck trying to find another daycare facility. When I toured Premire on Research I was instantly greeted with warmth. This place had good homey-vibes that I had not experienced anywhere else. We have now been attending for almost a year and my only regret is not finding this facility from the start!

Before Premier, My son stayed sick CONSTANTLY and just as sure as we started here, he has only been sick a couple times. My son finally loved school after only a couple weeks attending. I could see an improvement in his overall demeanor at home as well. He was different- in a beautiful, positive way as if he was finally content and filled with extra joy. As a parent, I no longer worry about him while at work and that’s a huge blessing.

A few things that are above and beyond: Nurturing! Cleanliness of both facility and Child! Professionalism! Affordable!

It’s difficult to put into words how fantastic the staff is. Everyone knows my son’s name and they always tell him hello/bye. The teachers truly and deeply care about the children. The director, Mrs. Shockney, encompasses all aspects of leadership and professionalism. All the kids are her babies and I assure you that you can trust her and her staff with your child.

Another thing that is a big deal, they have an indoor gym so even if weather isn’t permitted, they still get to run and play outside of their classroom.

I could go on and on, but take it from a family who has experienced other daycares in the area and trust when I say this is the best daycare facility to send your child(ren)!! It truly is my son’s second home.

My child was in the Pre-K program. The interior of this school is outdated. The playground has been updated. Last year, they moved the Pre-K class into the gym for the year to make room for a pre-k class that’s being funded by grants. This was purely a financial decision without any regard for our children. The gym has no windows and is a gym not a classroom. Several students left. Recently there has been a child that is causing lots of problems including hitting several children several times a day. My child has been affected by this. The school is refusing to do anything. I asked to have my child moved into kindergarten for the summer and they refused for (once again) purely financial reasons. The administration’s way of handling all of the problems has been to just ignore it. Regarding the classroom decision, parent’s were blindsided and felt dismissed. There was NO communication from anyone. In addition, they obviously tolerate physical violence. This is the most expensive daycare in the city and definitely NOT worth the high price of tuition.

My son has been at Premier since September of this year and it’s by far the best school he’s attended in Huntsville since we moved here. He’s 4 years young and had to endure two horrible daycares before Premier called me and told me he was at the top of the waiting list. He’s in OSR pre-k and the monthly tuition is VERY affordable. Unlike other schools he’s attended, the teachers are attentive to ALL children and it’s a loving environment. All of the staff are nice! They greet you coming in and tell you to have a great rest of your day leaving out. I love the fact that this campus is secured with parent passwords entering the building & security cameras. The children enjoy great meals, playtime, and field trips! I wish my son wasn’t moving into Kindergarten because I’d let him stay here ??
