    One of my girlfriends kids go/went to Primrose in CP (not sure of the street) and loved it. 

    Here are my notes from my spreadsheet of when I was looking for CP daycares.  I know one nestie whose daughter goes there and she's been really happy.  Ultimately, we chose another school -- it felt a little more rigid to us than we wanted.  During our tour with the owner they focused a lot on safety, security, their processes, etc. There was nothing wrong with that but the school we ultimately chose during the tour we talked a lot more about the children -- how they learn, the kind of fun they have, etc.  We ultimately just didn't connect to Goddard - but I think I would have felt comfortable having my child there, it just maybe wasn't the best fit.  BTW: The school we chose (we don't go there anymore because we moved) was Good Earth School - I think it's not for everyone but we LOVED it there, it was perfect for us!
