Pros

Their teachers are the framework of this school. The building is clean. The whole Primrose philosophy is amazing.

Cons

Children are often moved to different rooms when staffing is low. Management is friendly one minute and rude the next. Do not get on the directors bad side. They do not treat evey child the same. If you happen to personally know the owners and they like you, your child will become royalty, rules will be bent in hopes of keeping parents happy. The pay is not work the long days, never consistent planning time, teachers are asked to bring in their own enhancements instead of the owners providing the schools with what is called for in the curriculum. Their benefits are minimal and over the time I was there they took away many benefits that were in place when I was hired. They have an extremely high turn over and often over enroll their classrooms in hopes someone is out sick so it all works out. Only it rarely ever does, so kids get moved to different classes. Owners flash the money they have and try to butter up staff with little gifts here and there, instead of paying their employees what they deserve. If you are looking for a place of favorites, this is the place for you. You will be expected to take on more than humanly possible with no support and no planning time. When you can't keep up, they will either call you out on it or over praise others who don't take breaks and take things home to prep just to keep up (unpaid)

Pros

I absolutely loved our families and their children.

Cons

From my first week of training, I could tell they didn't want me there. The assistant director is very dismissive and rude and the director is condescending. Never really had an issue with other staff members, but it was obvious the director and assistant director were trying to push me out. The curriculum director was so kind and sweet, but she left too, feeling like the director and assistant director were using her and walking all over her. I absolutely do not recommend.
