Franchise Owners
Rimple Kothari & Anjli Kothari
Welcome to Primrose Schools!
We are Rimple Kothari & Anjli Kothari – not only are we sisters-in-law, but we are the proud owners of the Primrose School of Bedminster! Between the two of us, we have three children and know first- hand how important it is to find a nurturing and trusting early learning center. For this reason, we are excited to bring Primrose to the Bedminster area!
Like most parents, we looked high and low for a school that focused on all aspects of character development and learning. We discovered Primrose Schools in 2011 when we looked for schools for our children, and instantly fell in love with all that it had to offer. We were impressed with the level of care, and education provided through the exclusive Balanced Learning® curriculum which infuses purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion within the children.
Years later when we got the opportunity to start our own business, we agreed that Primrose Schools was the right franchise for us to give back to the young children in the community. We truly believe that what we do matters. Our philosophy is based on the Primrose simple, yet powerful phrase. “We believe who children become is as important as what they know”. We are excited to provide children with an environment where they can grow socially, emotionally and intellectually.
We are excited to meet you and your family!
