Parent Review

Safety and cleanliness are not at the top of their priorities. My child was enrolled full-time at this center at seven months of age and remained there for nearly a year. Incident reports were commonplace. In eleven months, my child sustained various superficial injuries (nearly two-dozen). She fell on playground equipment and required emergency dental treatment. The last straw was when she tripped on the playground due to an exposed tree root. I reported it to the state and DECAL initiated a complaint investigation. The owner, Lynn Archambault, accosted me in the parking lot to let me know that she didn’t appreciate me reporting the safety violation. The owners are rarely present. When they are onsite, they can be found in the office counting their money. Never did I see them in a classroom. There’s a continuous revolving door for the staff. It’s baffling that they have managed to remain in business for ten years.

I enrolled my six month old son last September at this school. There have been numerous issues that I brought to the owner, Lynn’s, attention. These ranged from safety issues to cleanliness of the of the infant room. Each time, Lynn reasured me she addressed the problems and that my child was well cared for and safe at her school. My son has had chronic illnesses since enrolling in this school, and I questioned the schools sanitation techniques since I believe the staff keeps cross-contiminating the babies. Yesterday, when arriving to pick my son up, the staff were using industrial strength carpet deodorizer in the infant room while the babies were on the carpet, in contact with the chemicals. The particles were so thick that the director opened the windows due the poor air quality. My son suffered due to their neglegence and required medical care. I discussed the concerns with Lynn today,and she was arrogant and defensive. I filed a report with decal and have unenrolled. BEWARE!

My children have not attended here but I have known two teachers that have gone on and on with similar complaints and have been very very unhappy with the school.

My grandson attended this school for 3 1/2 years. From the Infant room to the Preschool room I could not have been happier! Everyone that works there makes you feel so comfortable and welcome. Every morning Ms. Jessica greets every child and every parent with the most cheerful good morning, every evening Ms. Melissa ensures you have her undivided attention as you ask questions, pay tuition, suggestions, and concerns or just want to gab with her a little. Ms. Lynn is extremely responsive and always willing to hear your suggestions, she is always conducting parent surveys to make sure everyone is happy, including her staff. And I love the suggestion box that sits up front. I am a very happy Grandmother with Primrose School at East Lake!
