First - I agree the Primrose curriculum is very good. But there's more to daycare than just the curriculum.
How it is implemented, and the overall mood of the facility, is very dependant upon the individual facility and owners/managers.
My kids used to attend Primrose on Heritage Trace. We pulled them over a year ago due to communication issues with the teachers & management, turnover, and behavioral problems with our son. Three other families we know left within the next 6 months for the same reasons. I did like the young toddler rooms, but once the kids moved to the older pre-school and pre-k rooms we were not at all happy. I knew families whose children went to Primrose Parcwood Hill and loved it, then moved to the Heritage Trace location and were very disappointed.
We moved to Childrens Lighthouse on Shiver, it's just down the road from the Primrose and is a wonderful facility! The problems my son had at Primrose vanished at Lighthouse within days and he continues to thrive there in the private kindergarten program.
