This daycare is amazing! My three children have been attending this daycare for three years now. The center Director Ms.May is very professional. The teachers keep parents informed about their child’s progress and make learning fun through engaging activities. I appreciate the attention and care my children receives every day. I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and supportive place for their child.

I highly recommend Primary Beginnings Spring Forest! We had such a wonderful experience. The teachers are loving and attentive, and my daughter learned so much during her time there. I especially appreciated the Toddler & Pre-K programs that offered Yoga, Spanish, field trips and soccer.
Response from the owner:Hi Ashley,
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! 💙 We are so grateful that your family chose Primary Beginnings, Spring Forest. It means so much to hear that your daughter had such a positive experience

Our son started going shortly after he turned 2. We have had a wonderful experience and Miss Danielle is the BEST!! We have also enjoyed Miss May & Miss Jennifer and how helpful they have been with all our questions. We recently enrolled our 8 mo. old and have been so pleased with the experience. Miss Aly & Miss Jalin have been so sweet and helpful with the transition. It is reassuring to have our boys in a place they love and are excited to go every morning.

We are so grateful to have this PB team taking care of our children. Our experience has gotten even better ever since Mrs May was promoted to Director a few months back- she is so thoughtful, organized, and passionate about her facility. The teachers provide great care for the kids, and create such fun and enriching curriculum. I am so glad we are enrolled at Primary Beginnings!

We made the decision to move our 1 year old son from another center and it was the best decision we made.
Mrs. Amy and Ms. Hannah have been a true gift from God for our family. Their warmth, genuine love and care for the kiddos, and also commitment to teaching in the classroom is incredible. We are so grateful!! There has never been a second that we questioned our decision to transfer centers. Thank you!

My kids have been at Primary Beginnings for almost five months now, and we absolutely love it. From day one, the staff has treated us like family. My children are excited to go every day, and that alone says so much about the love and care they receive.
The environment is welcoming, the teachers are patient and truly attentive, and I can see how much my kids are growing and learning. As a mom, it means everything to know they’re safe, supported, and happy.
I’m very thankful for Primary Beginnings and all they do. We truly feel at home here!

Our children have been enrolled at Primary Beginnings since the Falls location opened and we have been very happy! Ms. May and the staff genuinely care about and have a relationship with every student from day one. We have experienced them go out of their way many times to ensure individual needs are met. There is always a fun event coming up and we appreciate how they involve and communicate with parents. Our family really values that this location offers Yoga and Spanish classes weekly at no additional cost. We also enjoy participating in Soccer Shots! Thank you!

Primary is a great center! Teachers and Ms. May are so caring and good with the kids. My son has thrived since being there and I’m so happy we found them!
Catherine B.
We are having a great experience with this center. Ms. May as well as my daughters teachers Miss K and Miss Kaitlyn, are kind, patient, and truly cares about the children. Communication is consistent, and I appreciate the activities and the structure. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming, and she has learned so much while also having fun.

Can’t say enough good things about Primary Beginnings. Ms. May was recently promoted to director, and she is an absolute gem; she knows all of the students’ and parents’ names, and has a good rapport with the teachers. All of the teachers we’ve had have been excellent, and the school itself is always clean and bright. We’ve had our kids in two other five-star preschools, but I’d give Primary six stars if I could! A big thank you to the staff for taking such wonderful care of our daughter—you rock!

I like this daycare. My daughter Leona has been there for 4 months now. She is 2 years old. The teacher teaches her dancing, drawing and they have a lot of activities. Thank you.

I love Primary Beginnings and I’m so happy I was able to get my child into this pre-school and now the Pre-K program! Ms. Holly & Mrs. May are so wonderful in aiding my child’s growth and development and I consider them as part of my village! I’m going to be sad when my little one has to leave for Kindergarten but I’m glad he found his footing here!

We spent alot of time researching daycares in the area and we are so glad we ended up with this one. My child's last daycare was fine, but we did not like the way they spoke to the kids and my child so we were a bit nervous trying a new school. I am SO THANKFUL, GRATEFUL, AND APPRECIATIVE we found Primary Beginnings Spring Forest. No matter what time I drop in, all of the staff make sure to say hello to me, ask about my kid, and interact with all of the kids in such a positive way. They often do not see me at first as I get to the classroom so I get to see the genuine interactions. Let me tell you, my child's attitude and behavior has been a 180. She is so much happier when I pick her up, she doesn't mind being dropped off in the mornings, and has made wonderful friends. Mr Philly is who she interacts with the most and he is a gem. All of the teachers at this school are exemplary, but Mr Philly makes the day for them. You can tell how much he cares and how much the kids love him. I could go on and on but I seriously cannot express how comforting it is to know my child is safe AND happy while I have to be at work.

Now that we have been here about a year, I have an update. PHENOMENAL. EVERY single person there knows each child by name. My kid has been in the PreK classrooms and I can't rave enough about each of those teachers. Ms. Yolanda, Ms. Felicia, and Mr. Jay are outstanding. There has been alot of transitioning this year but they handled it fabulously. Each of the teachers adds their own flare to the curriculum, but they HAVE a curriculum. We are currently touring Kindergarten schools and she is doing at least, if not more, of the same work as these other schools. They are being challenged in an age appropriate way and learning so much, all while having a great time! We walk through the front and my kid wants to stop and talk or give hugs to anyone and everyone. I wish we could stay here forever because they have really earned our trust. We cannot put into words how grateful we are to every single person at this center for providing such a safe and welcoming space for our child.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are so grateful for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us.
It means the world to our team to hear that your child has had such a positive year with us. We will be sure to share your special shout-out with Ms. Yolanda, Ms. Felicia, and Mr. J. They will be so touched!
We are so proud of our dedicated teachers and their ability to provide a safe, fun, and challenging learning environment. Knowing that we have earned your trust and helped prepare your child for kindergarten is the highest compliment we could receive.
We have loved having your family as part of our community. Thank you again for your incredible support!

Highly recommend this center for your little ones. I was searching for the right daycare for my boys and Primary Beginnings was the one for me and my boys. My oldest has been with PB since June 2024. The staff is AMAZING and professional! They are responsible, heart warming, caring, trustworthy, every positive characteristic in the book. My son's teachers are truly the best, they care for my boys like their own. The communication is top notch, always keeping me updated with feedings, changes, etc. Ms.Tonisha, Mrs. Sandra, Ms.Montressa, Ms. Monique, Ms. Mehiah, Mrs.Crystal, and Mrs.Jessica are dedicated to their work. My boys love their teachers and the staff. I love how the center has events all year round for my family. I can drop off my boys and head to work with a calm mindset because I know my boys are in a safe and loving environment. Thank you staff 💙
Response from the owner:Hello Ashley,
Thank you for your kind words.

This is a really good preschool! All the staff are nice to my child which is so very important. From the staff I’ve interacted with, they care alot about all the children. I would especially like to thank Ms. Tenice, Ms. Nicole, and Ms. Crystal for everything! They are very professional and nice people. They made my child’s preschool experience great! I usually don’t do reviews but this preschool deserves it and goes out of their way to make the kids and families enjoy time together and make memories. Thanks to all the teachers for everything you do!

Finding the right childcare center is one of the most important decisions a parent makes, and I couldn't be happier with Primary Beginnings. From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and that feeling has only grown stronger over time.
What truly sets Primary Beginnings apart is the incredible staff. Many of the teachers have been there for years, a testament to the positive work environment and their genuine dedication to the children. My toddler absolutely adores his teachers, and the feeling is clearly mutual. The love and care they show him are evident every day. It's not just his teachers, though; the assistant director is his "buddy," always taking the time to play and engage with him, and he never misses a chance to wave goodbye and blow kisses to the director. Even the cook has formed a special bond with my son! He loves the delicious meals, and the cook’s friendly demeanor always brings a smile to his face. It's heartwarming to see how all the children interact with the staff, demonstrating the same affection and trust.
The center itself is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. It's clear that the children's health and safety are a top priority. While the early years are inevitably filled with occasional illnesses, the staff is always quick to respond and take measures to minimize the spread.
Beyond the nurturing environment, Primary Beginnings excels in fostering each child's development. The infant room teachers are incredibly dedicated, patiently guiding the little ones through milestones like tummy time, crawling, and holding a bottle, while also respecting parents' routines. The toddler room teachers continue this dedication, focusing on fine and gross motor skills, language development, and building autonomy. What's truly remarkable is the effort the staff puts into building relationships with the children across different age groups. My son's toddler teachers began getting to know him while he was still an infant, and the infant teachers continue to maintain a warm connection with him.
Primary Beginnings isn't just a childcare center; it's a community where children are cherished, nurtured, and encouraged to thrive. If you're looking for a safe, loving, and developmentally enriching environment for your child, I wholeheartedly recommend Primary Beginnings.

We couldn’t be happier with PB over the years. Our kids are excited to go to daycare every day! The directors and teachers I have dealt with are welcoming and thoughtful. They also take care of the parents with appreciation events 😊 thank you for all you do 😊
Destiny C.
The best daycare ever! I love the staff and how education is a top priority! It’s a very clean, safe, and professional environment and they keep the kids involved and active with their activities and field trips! Oh and the unconditional and genuine love will always meet you at the front door! A easy 10/10
Montressa J.
My daughter has been at this center for 6 months and we love each and every staff member! They’re very patient, supportive and understanding! If I could give this center a million stars I would!!! Best center hands down!!!
Maggie M.
We could not be happier with our first year at Primary Beginnings! Our daughter has been enrolled since she was 5 months old, and we have nothing but positive experiences in both the infant and one year old classroom. They are communicative throughout the day and always respond to any questions I have.
Jordan D.
Our child loves going to school every day. The staff is so caring as well as supportive of our child and their development. It isn’t the closest to our home but no other site we visited felt as aligned with our priorities for our child. We love Primary Beginnings!
Elizabeth F.
Our son has been going there for 2 years now and we love it! The teachers and staff are all amazing! There’s low turnover and teachers are friendly, attentive and invested in the children’s wellbeing. We are always well informed of what our son is doing and it is clear he learns a lot. The curriculum has been great and full of wonderful activities for the kids. We are very happy with our experience at PB!
Nick K.
This preschool is excellent! Every single day that I walk in and out, they say hello to me by name and ask me how my day is. They genuinely are people that care for the parents as well as the children. The teachers love my girl and I can tell!
Alicia A.
We love Primary Beginning's. The staff truly care about our child and make sure he is loved, educated, and kind. The administration communicates regularly, the teachers provide great daily feedback, and most of all we know our child is safe.
