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

If you are considering this daycare based on reviews, we strongly advise against it. Our personal experience was very negative.

Although the school’s infrastructure may be satisfactory, your child will likely be subjected to a monotonous and uninteresting academic routine. If your aim is to have your child excel in skills such as letter writing, syllable counting, and number identification, then this school may be suitable. However, if you prioritize the development of creativity, critical thinking, social, artistic, and other skills, this school may not be by far the best choice. Additionally, the limited nap and play times offered may further exacerbate stress and lack of motivation for your child.

When issues arise in the school involving your child, the teachers and coordinators will try to shift the blame onto your child rather than acknowledging their own shortcomings in their teaching methods. They may label your child and his/her friends as trouble, instead of working with you to develop a positive strategy for improvement. Unfortunately, attempts to communicate with the school administration may prove fruitless, as they may give you empty assurances that they will personally take care of the situation, but no action will be taken. You may not even receive any feedback regarding what was done. It is disheartening to realize that some schools simply do not care about their students’ success.

Teachers are usually kind and gentle towards children. However, there are times when a more loving and positive attitude would be welcomed. Many teachers are very young and have only a few years of experience. While this is not necessarily a bad thing since everyone has to start somewhere, it can limit their ability to handle in-class situations effectively. You may hear your child being threatened with punishment attitudes instead of addressing the root causes of their behavior.

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in stress and dissatisfaction among the staff. A recent Maltreatment Investigation has put a lot of pressure on the team, which has created a visible negative environment that is not suitable for children. I suggest that you visit the DHS MN State Licensing website and read the Maltreatment Investigative Memorandum. Additionally, it would be beneficial to review the bunch of Licensing Review violations from the past years. Certainly, parents who value the best for their children will be able to draw their own conclusions and make the best decision.

I have two children at this school and we continue to be impressed! The staff is professional and friendly. The Chefs are amazing and prepare healthy, restaurant-quality food. I love the app that provides daily photos and summary of all the things learned each day. It also sends a daily summary email, which I then forward to the grandparents so they can stay informed on the kids. The grandparents love reading about what the kids are learning and seeing the pics.

We have experienced other area daycares and schools (both public and private) and I can testify to this school being top-notch and exceeding its competitors by miles in terms of curriculum, safety, communication and quality.

We’ve had our two year old at primrose for about 7 months now and it’s been a great experience. I find management very responsive and transparent, they are very good with updating us on his daily activities, they are able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and his teachers are great! We did have a lot of turnover in his class for a bit but I think they handled it well and were able to substitute teachers quickly. If I ever need updates on him they are pretty quick to respond and I like the curriculum and activities. Most days he is really excited to go there too which is probably the biggest indicator for me that they are doing it right (I say most days cause… toddlers??)
