See What Families Are Saying

We have fallen in love with Primrose and couldn't imagine our boys going anywhere else. From the caring and dedicated teachers, to the charming design of the school building and playgrounds, to the engaging curriculum, Primrose has been the perfect school for our young family.

Alex & Sam

Primrose School of Willow Glen Parents

My son goes to Primrose and we are extremely happy with the school. He enjoys going to school and he learns something new everyday. He learns while playing and we have seen a marked improvement in his social skills since he started going to school. His teachers are caring and the administration is very cooperative and helpful. We are so happy that we chose Primrose and we always recommend it to our friends.
