My daughter is in the infant room at Primrose and we LOVE it. The teachers are incredible and have truly gone above and beyond for us. My daughter actually reaches for the teachers at drop off and is never upset. They do really fun and creative activities with the babies and have helped me in numerous ways (giving me tips on how to help her start rolling/crawling, helped introduce solids, got her napping consistently, and on and on!). Every experience I have had with the school has been a positive one. Highly recommend!

We’ve been very impressed with the curriculum and the teachers at Primrose School of Andover. It feels like a great balance of a structured institution (great lessons, pristine facilities, etc) and personal attention. Our preschool teacher does my daughters hair every day and calls her “sweet girl” on her way out. Urvi, the owner took the time to add post-it note to a backpack of a classmate my daughter wanted to connect with outside of the school. They also provide balanced snacks and lunches. Overall, it just feels like my daughter is in safe hands, thriving and learning a lot!

Received phone call from director ambushing me with how the center was unable to "settle" my just turned 2 year old. His first time in a daycare program, attending 2x per week. Sent pictures in app of him happy and playing only to be told during this call he is never settled and never plays. When questioned the owner Urvi said "admittedly teachers are very selective about capturing the child's happier moments" eluding that it wasnt the real situation with our child just an illusion. How does a child acclimate within just 5/6 visits to a new school? When we would ask the teachers how he was doing we would get "he's having better days, pockets here and there but better". This phone call was refuting these images and all we were told by the teacher reason being not to upset us as parents.Pretty much lied to us up until this phone call all to keep the peace. How does a parent support a teacher or program if they aren't being given the truth? Oh that's right you call and ambush them with how your child cries all day long and they don't know what to do or how to handle them. When we mentioned that we feel the 2x per week probably wasn't helping him get used to the program and that he would benefit from consistency in days it was silence on their end. I brought up initial sign on conversation with owner Urvi about waitlisting and that she mentioned by the end of this calendar year beginning of next a 3 day a week spot should open. I was immediately put on hold. When the director came back on the line she said "What Urvi meant was there would be a spot if we opened another classroom and well we are having trouble finding staff , so that won't be happening anytime soon." Another colorful story sold to us! When I questioned as to why I was just hearing about all this struggle today she said that "maybe I made the mistake of telling your husband." I am sorry what, now you're inferring that 1) my husband and I don't communicate about our children and 2)that he is a liar. I responded with no we talk ritualistically every afternoon when he gets in the car at pickup and when they arrive home about how his day went. I never expected my child to seamlessly take to school, however to be told you're child is unmanageable when there is no substance behind said claims is bizarre. These claims become even crazier when fictitious conversations come into play and what you're seeing in black and white via images on the app are in fact manipulated to create a facade. What should also be noted here is my child has a provisional diagnosis of autism which the school was not only made aware of but supported by me sending in early intervention services. I tell you this because during this phone call the director picked apart my child's behavior almost mocking him to be honest. In the conversation about him not playing "He walks around the playground hanging on to the ball." Well if you're any sort of "educator" you would know a trait of autism is special interests and this is not an uncommon behavior. BUT thank you for condescendingly pointing out how inept you truly are to handle a child that is not neurotypical. Do not take anything about this school at face value. The stories and faces are many and it's not pretty when they show their true self. Glad I got my child out of there before he was permanently traumatized. Please see picture attached for how "never ever settled, cries all the time" my son is. It's all just for the parents at the cost of the kids-when you add marker it makes it sting less.

Don't send your kids to this school. School environment is toxic. Owner urvi patel pretends to be nice, but she is clueless and shouldn't be managing daycare. Teachers are old and lazy. They couldn't care less about the kid's education or growth. Primrose shouldn't be giving franchise to people like this. They are and will continually negatively impact primrose's brand and image.

Absolutely love this school! Facility itself is beautiful and immaculate, Urvi the owner, is outstanding, caring, full attention to every detail, Teachers are wonderful, the Chef cooks amazing healthy food for the children, just an endless list of positive things to say! We had two children attend here for 3+ years and the entire experience was one we’ll never forget. Our children have such fond memories every time we drive by now they point and cheer “Look, look…it’s Primrose, that was our school”!! If you’re lucky enough to grab an opening, take it and run, you’ll never look back. Primrose School of Andover!!!!!!

Over the years our children have attended four childcare centers similar in size and intent to Primrose. Primrose has, by a large margin, provided the most satisfying experience for our children and for us as parents.The teachers here clearly feel supported by the rest of the staff; this shows through their consistently positive attitudes towards the kids and towards each other.We were lucky enough to be a part of Primrose when the covid pandemic hit. They took it seriously, calmly finding solutions and ways to avoid making new problems. As a result, we are still comfortable with Primrose despite a pandemic which would have left us entirely uncomfortable with any of the other childcare centers we previously attended.This is a Good Place with Good People, and we are very happy that they are here.

I am so impressed with this childcare center! We made the move from another large center in Andover and there is really no comparison. The teachers here are simply amazing and truly care about the children. My child has learned so much from their curriculum and comes home telling me about all her great experiences.The center is always clean, has up-to-date toys, and has the most incredible playground I've ever seen at a daycare center. It feels safe and secure. I'm confident my child is in good hands here.I love that the owners are on-site and deeply invested in the day-to-day operations of the center - they are always there to answer questions or concerns. I love that Primrose is involved in the community and teaches children about giving to those less fortunate. There are many events throughout the year and ways for Primrose families to connect.Truly, the best daycare center around!

We were fortunate enough to photograph the students last year for picture day. I can say without hesitation, if my child was still that young this is the school I would bring her to. The staff is so loving and attentive. The school is impeccable when it comes to cleanliness and classroom decor. We have photographed many daycares and preschools and Primrose is definitely a five star school. I highly recommend them!

I cannot say enough great things about Primrose School of Andover. I currently have three children enrolled in this school. In one month's time, I have noticed significant improvement in my two year olds speaking capabilities, interactions with others and development. The teachers that have been hired are more than wonderful. They are dedicated, hard working individuals that I truly believe work day in and day out so that my children succeed. At drop off I leave feeling happy, comfortable knowing they are always in great hands. The school is also incredibly clean, organized and there is someone always on hand to answer any question I have. Not having to pack lunches and knowing they get healthy meals is also a huge plus! I really have nothing bad to say about Primrose.
