Comments for Primrose School of West Allen
We are thinking about sending our daughter to school around 3. Like to hear from you any comments regarding to Primrose school of West Allen. Thank you so much.
So What Happened?™
Thank you for mentioning the bathroom issue. I'm not comfortable with that either. I visited the school last week. They seem to have a good program and the staffs are nice too. However, they don't have a space for my daughter at the moment. We will try to see other places as well.

I don't have experience with that specific Primrose, but my son has been enrolled in two other Primrose schools. They are wonderful and their curriculum cannot be beat. My son will be three at the end of this month and he is well above average in all areas of the curriculum. I attribute it to Primrose because they really work with the kids from an early age.

I too cannot say anything about that particular school but my daughter attends the Virginia location in McKinney and we love it. My daughter is only one year old, but they have had her involved since day one. She finger paints, colors, they have a singer come sing songs every Tuesday. They are pheanominal, I wouldn't take her anywhere else. They have a great curriculum, teach children manner, and good behavior.

My friend pulled her daughter out of that location after she found several kids (including her daughter) playing unattended in the bathrooms. This was back in the fall.

I have had my 2 year old son on the waiting list since November. If you have any other comments that were not listed, I would really appriciate if you would share with me. Before my son starts school I will address the everybody in the bathroom issue. I am not comfortable with that.
Thanks,

I just toured that facility last week and thought it was fine. It looks like they have a really good program. Their classes seem big to me but they are in ratio. Only one thing bothered me while I was there. It was potty break time for the 3 year old preschool class and they all went into the bathroom together and watched each other on the toilet -- with the door wide open for another class to watch as well. The bathroom is actually located in a 2 year old class room.
I know they are just 3 and it is probably not a big deal for them to see each other at this point, but by the end of the year they'll be 4 or almost 4 and it just seems like privacy is something they ought to be teaching them at this age. Not to mention it seems a bit unsanitary and chaotic to me.
This may not bother you. It could be my own issue. I just thought I'd mention it.
