Soha and Ali Gowani
Welcome to Primrose Schools!
We are Ali and Soha Gowani, and we are thrilled to announce that we are the proud owners of Primrose School of Algonquin. For the past three years, we have also owned and operated the Primrose School of South Elgin. As parents to two wonderful children, Lia and Noah, we understand the importance of finding a safe and educational environment that provides exceptional care. We are honored and excited to share this outstanding school with the Algonquin community.
My professional background is in nursing, where I have served as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for 20 years. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Elmhurst College and a Master of Science in Nursing from Northern Illinois University, specializing in family practice. My experience includes ICU, orthopedics, primary care and interventional pain medicine, as well as teaching as an adjunct faculty member at both Rasmussen and DePaul University.
My husband, Ali, brings over 20 years of experience in executive leadership roles across technology, operations, and engineering. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from DePaul University and a Master of Science in Communications from Northwestern University. His expertise is further supported by certifications such as Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, and Project Management Professional.
We firmly believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and Primrose serves as that village for families. Our Balanced Learning® approach integrates purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to foster curiosity, creativity, confidence, and compassion. We are committed to providing more than just a curriculum; we aim to deliver a life-changing early learning experience for every child and their family.
We look forward to meeting you and your family!
