My husband and I are both from out of state and have no family here to help care for our son. We researched and toured many childcare places while I was pregnant. When we toured Primrose, it was pleasant and inviting. The facility felt clean and well kept, employees were happy, the kids were happy. The place is larger than it looks and there are many playgrounds for different ages, which our child could enjoy as he grows older. We enrolled our son at Primrose when he was only 9 weeks old because I had to go back to work. He is now 15 months and loves it. He is happy to see his teachers and give them hugs. He stays busy learning new things and we get many pictures of him throughout the day during story time, play, painting, bubbles and music time, to name a few. I love how the teachers care for the kids and we feel like they treat them as their own. The fact that our son enjoys it, smiles, and plays with the other kids is heart warming. Primrose helps the kids learn, develop, and grow. He is doing really well and has learned so much. Also, they provide well balanced meals and snacks, which is something that was important to us when selecting childcare. My husband and I are so happy to have found people we can trust with the care of our son at Primrose School of 4S Ranch. We appreciate every one of the staff and teachers of the Primrose family.

Reena Dayal
Welcome to Primrose!
I am Reena Dayal, the proud owner of Primrose School of 4S Ranch!
Owning a preschool has been a dream of mine since I was a child, as I have always had a true passion for working with and supporting children. With a bachelor’s degree in Education from San Jose State and a master’s degree in Curriculum Design from University of San Diego, I have taught at preschools and elementary schools, but always have been drawn to the preschool environment.
After teaching for many years and having children of my own, I found it challenging to find a school where my children could learn and not just be “taken care of.” Determined to find the right school for my children, I felt like I was constantly searching to find a school with a curriculum that would prepare them for elementary school. Looking at many schools and conducting a lot of research, I knew that Primrose was the best fit for what I was looking for. San Diego has nothing like this here and I am so happy to bring the Primrose curriculum to the 4S community. The exclusive Primrose Schools curriculum extends beyond cognitive learning, with a deep focus on social emotional and character development, helping nurture Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts®.
Who children become is as important as what they know is a belief that is at the core of our Balanced Learning® approach. Our research based early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.
We are excited to meet you and your family!

See What Families Are Saying
Primrose has been a major part of my son’s development, socialization and JOY. As a new mom, I was terrified to enroll my son in daycare. He started at 10 months and quickly became bonded with his caring and attentive teachers. I also grew to adore and trust his teachers - so much so that I frequently solicit advice from them on feeding, napping, teething- and many other challenges/unknowns that can cause new parent’s stress. There’s so many things I love about this school- I will list them in order of importance to my family. First and foremost, the caring and talented staff. From the owner and Director to the teachers- they truly care about each child and are equipped to handle all situations. Second, the diverse and nutritious daily menu. It’s wonderful to know my son is getting exposed to different foods and eating healthy. Third, the creative curriculum- I’m always amazed at the lessons and activities they have my son doing even though he’s not even two yet! Fourth, the beautiful, big and clean facility. I toured many daycares and Primrose has the best facility. My son is not just thriving developmentally thanks to Primrose- but he’s happy every day to go and see his friends and teachers that he adores at his wonderful Primrose.
Primrose has been great for my family. My son started at 18 months old and I've loved watching him grow and learn on daily basis. The staff members are warm and caring and form real bonds with the children. Everyone knows my son's name and he is always happy to go to go to school. I especially LOVE that they provide meals throughout the day. It has really helped my picky eater try new things. And it's SO supportive to me as a working Mom knowing that he is eating healthy food that I don't have to stress about preparing every day.
We have three children attending and we’ve really enjoyed our time at Primrose 4S Ranch. The leadership and staff have been amazing with our kids. We relocated from another state and this was the fourth school our oldest child had attended. Transitions to a new school aren’t always easy, but everyone has gone above and beyond to make the kids feel welcome and well taken care of. The children are excited to go to school everyday and are always learning something new. We are lucky to have found such a great place for our family.
Primrose has been the best decision ever! After 2 years of having a nanny exclusively, it was really hard for all us to do the transition to daycare, the first couple of weeks were rough but now 8 months later, the progress and learning that we see in our son is just beyond amazing, we only regret that we didn’t start earlier. Furthermore the love and care that all of the teachers put into each kid is very admirable, we couldn’t be happier as a family to see our kid grow in every aspect, and to see him happy just going into his classroom!! and we don’t have enough words to say thank you!
