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!
