Primrose RR at Forest Creek? (Howe: schools, camp, live in)

[caycee]

Does anyone have information on Primrose RR at Forest Creek?

I live in that area, and know people who have used the facility.

I will tell you what I have heard - but have no direct experience.... Your kid(s) will learn something, that's for sure - very, very academic.... however, it's not very structured and I was told there is no "heart" to it... not warm and inviting to the children.

We have a 4 1/2 year old there. He has done well and enjoys his time and is keen to go in the morning, however communication between the teachers and management is sometimes limited, and teacher turnover seems to be high, but I have no reference to other schools to calibrate that comment against. Summer camp is good and the kids do seem to learn during normal term time. However is is pricey.
They are also quite strict (not necessarily a bad thing) and little incidents are written up and issues deemed to be more serious, result in a call to the parent to come and pick-up the 'little one' as they are generally excluded for the day. Not always a practical proposition and sometimes seems to smack of 'passing the buck' rather than dealing with it....
Put it this way, when our other kid is ready, they will go there, so I guess that is a thumbs-up....
