What Parents Say
BASICS Primary School and Day Care has extremely polarized reviews. Positive reviews highlight strong teacher retention, structured curriculum, developmental progress, and parent communication through daily reports. Negative reviews cite safety concerns, alleged dishonesty about incidents, discrimination regarding medical conditions, and poor management.
My son been attending this daycare since November 2024. His vocabulary and everything has approved since transferring him from his old daycare. He loves all the teachers there and can tell me their names. Unlike the old daycare they could never keep teachers there long enough for him to like or develop a relationship with.
I don’t really understand the negative reviews. Especially the recent ones. My daughter loves it here! The teachers are great. They are structured and make sure the kids are well prepared for kindergarten. Every week my daughter comes home having learned something new. They have a daily report sheet that shows their behavior/how much they ate/ how long they napped. They have show and tell every Friday and they send the work home at the end of the week so parents can see what their kids have been doing. And if there is any kind of behavioral issue they you know so you can fix the problem together. She absolutely adores all the teachers here, and she looks forward to school every morning.
Don't subject your child to this place. They entice you like the ice cream man. Then, you leave your child and they ignore them, when he or she is hurt or bitten by another child. The teacher then lies to you about knowing what happened, and makes up a story how it happened. Then, you watch the video tape, and completely different scenario! People in position of trust? They don't know what trust means, and directors have no idea what "teachers" are doing!
Very nice place , teachers are very good, they take care of the children especially Ms Vicky . My daughter loves it and I can see that she learned a lot and made good friends. I highly recommend it
I used to go here when I was young and I had a lot of fun there and it’s just a great daycare to be at.
