"I used to spend Sunday nights cross-referencing the state website with my training binders. Now I open Primer and I have the answer in under a minute. I actually slept last Sunday.

"I'm a home provider — I don't have a compliance team. Primer is literally the only reason I passed my first state inspection. The safe-sleep card alone was worth it.

"Night before practicum, I needed NAEYC developmental milestones for my observation write-up. Primer had everything organized by age band. My supervisor asked what resource I was using.

"We have 4 centers across two states. Primer lets my staff directors look up TX and NM requirements side by side. No more 'I thought that was the rule' in audit prep.
