Primrose School of Algonquin, Algonquin | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My husband and I were looking for reliable daycare. After 8 years, we found more than just childcare. The team at Primrose of Algonquin welcomed my son and our family with open arms. My then 4 year old was amazed as we entered the classroom to see all the kids enjoying the games and activities available. He felt very comfortable in his new setting right away and I knew we found the right place. The staff is very friendly and caring. The facility is kept immaculate. My son would race in to get the breakfast that was prepared each day, where they would practice life skills. The summer field trips were very educational and of course, fun. Even with the current pandemic, they brought in fun groups to engage in activities with the kids. They provide parents with pictures and videos of activities the children experience. It was always great sharing at the end of the day with my son all the fun he had. My son spent his last summer at Primrose, as he is now 12. We could not have had better memories as he developed. I wanted to share this with any family who may be searching that this will be the right place for you.

I cannot recommend Primrose School in Algonquin highly enough! My husband and I interviewed several daycares in the area while I was still pregnant and the second we stepped into this facility I immediately felt at ease. The whole staff is wonderful to work with! They eased my worries the first day my son was with them at 12 weeks old, and they’ve been there to answer every question/concern we’ve had since then. All of the teachers that have worked with my son have been nothing short of amazing. It’s clear that my son is genuinely cared for by everyone he interacts with at the school and I can go about my day knowing I don’t need to worry about him while he’s there. The facility is clean, safe, and full of toys, etc. that helps the children learn and grow. The activities they do with the children are all the same. The app/other communications are easy to use and keep us up to date on everything we need to know. I just wish our circumstances weren’t taking us away from this beautiful daycare and all of the people that have cared for my son so well.

I would not recommend enrolling your child here. Ruthann was the main selling point in our decision to enroll our child at this center. However, we found out that the preschool teacher, Tina J. was accused of mistreating children including mine and the preschool co teacher confirmed this information in front of the owner and center director in a meeting that we had. She confirmed witnessing Tina telling the children that they were crying like babies and many other horrible things that no child should hear from someone that is PAID to care for them. She should not be around children in any capacity! We felt her actions were swept under the rug which prompted us to pull our child out of the center immediately. We were not allowed to have a follow up conversation with the co teacher that confirmed all of this information, but all of a sudden the co teacher back tracked on what she told us which I feel she was afraid to lose her job. I am not sure IF she actually recanted her story, but that’s what we were told.
