Primrose School of Rochester 2600 2nd Street Southwest, Rochester, MN 55902

"My son has wonderful memories at Primrose. Great staff, very clean place and friendly environment."

"This is hands down the BEST daycare in Rochester! My husband and I are new parents and were hesitant to start a daycare. We were initially under the impression that our baby staying home with us was the best care that he could receive. That was until he started going to Primrose! The Montessori education is top notch and my husband and I are learning baby sign language and mimicking the same hands-on learning activities at home because they are so great for baby's development. The engagement and enthusiasm of the Director, teachers and staff with the children is AMAZING and everything you would want your baby or child to experience. The teachers (Ms. Kidd, Ms, Franklin, Ms. Christenson) in the Infant classroom are everyday wonder women! They love the children so much and provide numerous daily report outs of all of the activities, meals, etc. - with pictures and videos too! Whether it was coordinating an enrollment date with Terra, preboarding/onboarding with the Director, Jen, or checking-in daily with Jamie and Jessica, the Primrose team has been kind, supportive, knowledgeable, extremely professional, and understanding of us as new parents. We are SO THANKFUL that our baby is at Primrose - WE LOVE IT!!"

"My 4 year old son had a period where he was a little aggressive. His wonderful teachers worked with us to help him make some big improvements. By their own account, he was doing wonderfully. This continued even after the great teachers quit and the replacements were… not as great. A few months later, he got sick (needed surgery). He had a couple rough days spread over a few weeks. Then, suddenly, and *completely out of the blue* we got a call from the director stating he was expelled. Immediately. She claimed that they’d done all they could do. She claimed that they’d been communicating extensively, calling with concerns, sending emails, etc, etc. Unfortunately, that is 100% false. There were no emails, there were no calls (I double checked). At best, the director mistakenly thought someone was communicating when they weren’t, and a kid got expelled suddenly for struggles directly related to a reversible medical condition. At worst, she’s a scrupulous liar. In any case, not the kind of person I’d trust the well-being of my child to. About the rating of 2/5 stars - some of the staff deserve 5 stars (Ms. Jaime, Ms July). Some teachers were simply okay. So -1 star there. Expelling my kid? Not necessarily a problem. Sometimes it’s the right thing to do. Expelling any kid because their temporary medical problem is inconvenient, then lying about it, -2 stars (at least) there."

"My youngest son goes to Primrose. The teachers are very attentive and communicate any issues. They have been flexible with our schedule and worked with us to make sure we are taken care of. While it isn’t the cheapest child care in Rochester, I feel like I get my moneys worth. Regular updates on what he is doing during the day along with an app where we can communicate with the teacher. From the front desk to the teachers I have no issues. I enjoy going there to pick up my guy and he is happy going there. all around win."

"My wife and I brought our son to Primrose and couldn't be happier. They went out of their way to get him in quickly, and were so sweet. We love every aspect of the care they give our young son. The Administration to the Teachers are top notch and the facility is amazing."
