Primrose School Of South Elgin

We’ve been with this daycare for 4 years, and I couldn’t be happier! My older one is in kindergarten already , and my little one just started his first year in Preschool Pathways — and we absolutely love it! The teachers and staff are so kind, patient, and genuinely care for the children. You can really feel how much love and attention they put into everything they do. The director, Mrs.Kulbeda is an amazing woman who truly knows every child and family; she creates such a positive, welcoming atmosphere. My kids are happy, learning, and excited to go every day — and as a parent, that means everything. Highly recommend this place!

Fantastic Learning Environment for Toddlers! We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Primrose. The teachers are incredibly patient, nurturing, and dedicated to creating a warm and engaging learning environment. Our child has flourished here—developing social skills, learning new concepts every day, and enjoying fun, hands-on activities that make learning exciting. The curriculum is well-structured, balancing play-based learning with early educational foundations. We especially appreciate the emphasis on creativity, communication, and fostering independence. The staff truly cares about the children, ensuring their safety, comfort, and development at every step. It’s amazing to see our toddler come home excited to share what they’ve learned. We highly recommend Primrose, to any parent looking for a wonderful early childhood education experience!

We couldn't be happier with this school, management staff and teachers are so amazing. All 3 of my kiddos have gone or go there now. Its amazing to see a lot of the same teachers still there, you know management is doing something right! The curriculum and culture is fantastic and I know my kiddos were and are taken care of, loved, and are safe with our primrose family!

In our experience with Primrose School, we’ve truly appreciated how much the teachers genuinely care about each child. They’re incredibly attentive and create an environment where children feel valued and understood. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to engage and develop young minds, and the teachers consistently find ways to make learning fun and memorable. What stands out is how they partner with parents, like when they helped our daughter with potty training—it was such a success thanks to their support and helping reinforce behaviors. We also love the special event they organize, adding extra joy and excitement for the kids. It’s been wonderful knowing our daughter is in such caring and capable hands.

Oh Primrose- where to even begin? I will start with my biggest regret- not having my children enrolled here sooner. This is a school. This is not a glorified daycare. This is absolutely an environment that fosters learning, growth, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Our oldest child went through the private Kindergarten at Primrose and the impact this singular decision will have on his future far exceeds anything we could have hoped for. He got more than a foundation at Primrose- he got a solid education and a skillset that will have a lifelong influence. Upon graduating from the Primrose private kindergarten program, he went on to public school where he is in their kindergarten (we didn’t want to push him ahead to 1st grade as we wanted the transition to elementary school to be easier on him). We have learned that he is not at a kindergarten reading level- he is at a SECOND GRADE reading level! Not only that, but we have been informed that of the 10 children that graduated from Primrose last year (either from the pre-K or Kindergarten program) and then went on to attend our same public elementary school, ALL TEN children are above grade level for reading. They are advanced enough that they are having to be pulled from their regular classroom reading time to work with a teacher that can teach them phonics/reading at the level these children are already at. There are only 2 non-Primrose children in their elementary school that are also being pulled for advanced phonics/reading skills. Furthermore, we have been informed that our son is also advanced in his math skills, and he will be pulled from his regular kindergarten math coursework to focus on more challenging math curriculum that more closely meet him where his skills lie. Now I would LOVE to take credit for his achievements. I would love to tell you that mom and dad taught him all that he knows. But that would be dishonest of me. We owe all of this development to Primrose- to the curriculum that they employ, to the safe and nurturing environment that they provide, and especially to the teachers and staff that work day and night to give these children a head start in life. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Primrose- they go above and beyond for their students and the community in everyway possible. THANK YOU PRIMROSE!
