Primrose School of Plano at Preston Meadow

Primrose School’s owned and facilitated by Dr. Patiksha Rigley & her staff are done right and the Plano/​Preston Meadow location is no exception. I have grown accustom to the exceptional communication, genuine approach & kind direction provided by Dr. Rigley’s school staff. The school is great at keeping parents informed and partnering with you to create the best unified approach for the growth of your child. My daughter started at Primrose Prestonwood in early 2012 at the age of 2. Our daughter was counting in Spanish, writing her alphabet and using words we didn’t think she knew yet. She really shocked us with how well she did with the curriculum. She LOVED going to school each day and we knew she was safe and loved when she was there. We moved to McKinney/​Prosper and wanted desperately to stay with a Dr. R school. We even considered our home selection & location around it! Unfortunately, the Frisco location wasn’t ready yet so we experienced some tearful goodbyes. To this day, we still trade Christmas cards with the staff and cherish the moments & relationships. I am not surprised Dr. Rigley is asked to come into previously struggling locations to bring them up to the Primrose standard and then exceed it.

We have been Primrose Parents for close to 4 years now and we love the school and the staff. The best part we love is the curriculum and the descipline that the school maintains. We can see the difference in our daughter after she comes back as to how much she gains while at school. Teachers also try and make the bonding with the kids which really keeps the kids motivated and willing to learn more.
We have been associated with 2 sister schools of Dr. Rig key and we love the curriculum and discipline they maintain with kids. We moved to Mckinney in 2015 and there is a Primrose school within 2 – 3 miles
From us, however we chose to go 8 miles to be in Dr. Rickey primrose just Coz we know they’re the best!
Its very sadning for us that this year would be our daughters last year as she would move to Kindergarten, however we are going to miss the school and teachers a lot. We always have and will recommend anybody to look for only Primrose Schools by Dr. Rigley as they are the best. :-)

We have our three children enrolled at Primrose of Plano at Preston Meadow and therefore have experience in the infant (older/​younger), Preschool and PreK classrooms. We highly recommend this school to anyone in search of quality childcare. The facility is beautiful, newly-​remodeled, upgraded and incredibly clean. The management is qualified, caring and super attentive. Ms. Brandi is one of the most upbeat and infectious personalities I’ve encountered. Every morning she meets our family with a heart-​felt greeting and personal inquiry to our lives. I worked with Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Terri at their other Plano location and have a great deal of respect for their dedication to the children and their professions. Ms. Brittany is one of my children’s favorites. She is very hands on with the kids, organized and just a fun person to be around. Everyone is quick to provide a helping hand and provides a very personal, family-​like experience. We have spent time with 4 of the teachers in the Infant, PreSchool, and PreK rooms and are very happy with each classroom. Ms. Blue and Ms. Phillips in the Infant rooms are incredible. They provide unbelievable patience and love for each and every child. They are very organized and have a great system to ensure your child is cared for throughout the day. My son adores Ms. Phillips (his current teacher) and lights up with a big smile whenever he sees her. She is very dedicated and invests extra time outside of work. For example, this morning she showed me an adorable Mickey Mouse pumpkin she made for my son this weekend. I feel incredible confident (and lucky) to have such amazing teachers in this room. The teachers provide a very detail account of my son’s day and are quick to point out anything I need to be aware of (teething pains, possible rash, food he liked, activities he liked, etc.). In PreSchool, we have Ms. Baker. She is an experienced veteran who manages her class beautifully. She provides structured teaching to her classroom with a strictness that we really, really appreciate. Both my son and daughter tell me almost daily how much they love Ms. Baker. In addition, my 3-​year old has excelled academically since being in her care. Her vocabulary (including Spanish) has expanded, she recites the Pledge of Allegiance every time she sees the American flag and other impressive demonstrations of her continued learning. Mrs. Jones started a few months ago in PreK and she is awesome! Very calm with the children, always engaging with them both one-​on-​one as as a group. She has an incredible way with the kids in which she maintains control while being patient and controlled. She is also friendly and makes great effort to provide examples of my son’s day/​participation/​good behavior either in a written note or verbally at pick up. Ms McCallister (after school) is awesome. She is always focused on the children providing homework support and guidance. She is typically leading the kids through a interactive craft and commands the room very well — the kids LOVE listening to her. We are REALLY happy with each of the teachers and are so grateful to have such wonderful individuals shaping our children. Overall, this school offers experienced teachers, elevated curriculum, individualized attention, newly-​updated facilities, and above all an amazing staff of caring professionals who are 100% dedicated to each family there. We highly recommend this school. Do yourself a favor and take the time to stop by and visit the location, meet the management and teachers, see the well-​maintained interior/​exterior, and see for yourselves what a fantastic facility this is now.

I am not a customer yet, but giving 5 stars for an excellent consultation. Director Stefanie was on the ball. The staff and facilities exceeded my expectations. The babies and toddlers looked so happy to be there. Clean, organized, and full of love.

Primrose School of North Plano is now under new management! No further knowledge, but great hopes of improvement for the school, staff, and of course the kiddos!

Our children attended Primrose School of North Plano for 3 years before I had to pull them out for a number of problems. First, staff turnover, and poor teachers. Almost all of the teaching staff that my children had fully turned over in their 3 years at the school. They did not perform background checks on a large number of new teachers. See:
Note the deficency report from December 2012 (I believe it was 8 teachers without a background check). That should never be tolerated by any parent. Not only that, the assistant and director of the school were both fired or released in the last few months. The owner is now the director/​operator of the school. I believe this is more due to money problems than anything else given the number of families that have left (we know many).
The problems with the school in my opinion centered around the lack of interest in the owner in being on-​site in the previous year after her divorce. Many time, I observed the teachers letting the kids run wild. When I would drop them off or pick them up I would be disappointed with the lack of supervision, or the mess that would be around at the end of day.
Removing my kids from this daycare (I refuse to call it a school) was one of the best recent decisions I have made for them in 2013. They are happy in their new school. That is much more than I could say when they were attending this daycare.

My children have attended this school for over 6 years now (combined). I have never had a problem with any of the staff. The teachers have taken great care of the students and all have a certain level of passion that exceeds several other schools I have been to.
I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone. As for the owner driving a new Lexus, it is my understanding she is invested in many business ventures. She is a very intelligent woman — she has two schools that she divides her time in between, she also takes care of her own family and has several other professional demands in her life. We can’t all be at one place all the time. I am sure she does the absolute best that she can!
The curicculum is great, summer camp is so much fun, and we adore everyone at this school!
The price of gas goes up every other day but I don’t stop driving because of it. My children get the best out of Primrose, so I drive the extra mile to make sure they get the best!
