Full Ranking Detail
infanttoddlerpreKkinder
Primrose School at Hidden Lakes is a SEA and Cognia-accredited Primrose franchise on Davis Blvd in Southlake, serving infants through kindergarten within the Carroll ISD. Like its Kimball Ave sister location, it uses Primrose's research-informed Balanced Learning curriculum emphasizing guided learning alongside purposeful play. Convenient before- and after-school care with transportation serves the Hidden Lakes neighborhood, and the center operates long weekday hours (6:30 am–6:30 pm) with daily parent updates via Procare. A compliance concern: the center carries four high-severity HHSC deficiencies on record, matching some peers in the Primrose network and warranting closer attention.
