Primrose School would love to meet your family.
Schedule A TourMeet Ankit Patel – proud Franchise Owner of Primrose School of Cherry Hill. As a long-time resident of South Jersey, working dad and an experienced business owner, Ankit is thrilled to bring the Primrose Experience of premier early education and care to the families of Cherry Hill.
Ankit first learned about Primrose Schools in 2015 through his friend and hospitality business partner who opened his own Primrose school in Maryland. Both personally understood the toll that the hospitality industry could have on family life, and as an expecting parent, Ankit knew that his next business venture needed to be more family-friendly and allow him to spend time with his wife, Dr. P., and their future children. He noticed a lack of high-quality early education in their local community, so he decided to combine his strong business background with his passion for education and family to open a Primrose school in South Jersey.
“I have lived in South Jersey all my life, and when my wife and I knew we were expecting our first child, we realized we needed to build a stronger foundation for the children in our community, including our own,” said Ankit. “Our community has been lacking in this area, and all children deserve the high-quality early education and care that our Primrose school will provide.”
With experience in operations, development and management, Ankit will be managing the day-to-day operations of the school. His bachelor’s degree in finance from Drexel University in Philadelphia will also help with the business side of the school. As a pediatric hospitalist, Ankit's wife has a passion for children and their well-being.
“We believe in the research-based Balanced Learning® approach, which encourages curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion because who children become is as important as what they know,” Ankit said. “Primrose Schools promotes the same nurturing, loving and learning environment I want for my own children, and I can’t wait to see the children and families in our community grow with Primrose.”
Slated to open in early 2018, Primrose School of Cherry Hill will feature the Balanced Learning approach, which nurtures intellectual, creative, physical and social-emotional development. Ankit and Padmavathy’s first child will be one of the first students enrolled in the school, and the family cannot wait to provide the Primrose Experience to the children and families of South Jersey and the greater Philadelphia area.

Today we made a shopping list of healthy foods so that we have a balance of all of the five food groups.
For all the joy the holiday season brings, there’s also some stress that comes along with it. From clearing calendar space to avoiding sugar overload, try these tips to put the focus back on family and fun.
Students rolled a die and placed that number of buttons on the middle section of the snowman template. Then, students repeated this process for the bottom section of their snowman. Then, we counted the total number of buttons and stated our addition sentence represented by the snowman to our group members.
Maybe it’s an early bedtime or a present they thought should be bigger. It doesn’t take much to bring on stomping feet and cries of “That’s not fair!” but these three tips can help.
On Election Day, the school had an Election for favorite Primrose Friend. The children had a chance to go into the conference room and cast their secret ballot. When the voting was over, the Kindergarten class counted all the ballots. Counting the ballots gave the Kindergarten class a chance to practice making stroke counts and tallies. The announced winner on Election Day was Mia the Mouse.
It’s December, which means it’s time for our national Caring and Giving Food Drive! Read our blog to find fun ways you can help your child lead their own family food drive at home.
Today, the Preschool class, went outside and observe carefully for signs of fall. We used paper and writing utensils to sketch something interesting about fall. We learned sketch means to draw.
To better meet the individual needs of every child, we’re proud to implement Ages & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ®-3 and ASQ®:SE-2) in Primrose schools across the country.
The infants have their own playground so they go outside everyday. They have a musical playground piece that plays music by tapping the keys. It is such an advantage having a playground just made for infants.
Our new exclusive Harmony & Heart® program integrates our proprietary music and books in a variety of thoughtful ways each day. Through learning about music, while simultaneously being exposed to concepts in math, language, and character development, your child will grow as a musician, a student, and a person.
The Primrose School hosted a 'Bea' Gone with Childhood Cancer Fun Walk' on October 2. The walk was to support a child who was enrolled at our school that was diagnosed with cancer. The children had worked all week to collect pennies to donate and they earned $726.00. There was an obstacle course, raffle baskets, Penny Chase and food. The event collected $3000.00. Mr. Patel, the owner, matched the donations collected and in total raised $6000.00. A check was presented to the family surrounded by teachers who gave their time and heart to this event.
Each Primrose school is held to high standards of safety and cleanliness while maintaining a caring and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
Today we read, "Apple Farmer Annie" by Monica Wellington. We talked about the beginning, middle and end of the story. We used pictures to retell the story. The children were asked guided question such as: What is the first thing Annie did? What did Annie do in the middle of the story? What happened last? How did the book end?
There’s no question that parents want their preschoolers to grasp the basics of colors, numbers and letters to foster a lifetime of learning.
The toddlers were outside when they found a different bug. It was a praying mantis. They noticed the long legs and watched how it moved. It was the perfect chance for a teachable moment while playing.
It might seem odd to think about your preschooler exploring data analysis and algebra.
It's a fact: children learn better when they are engaged. That's why purposeful play and nurturing guidance from teachers are key components of Balanced Learning. See how this time-tested approach with a strong emphasis on life skills and character development can help your child develop and excel.
Cherry Hill Fire Department came to visit all the children at the school. The children were speechless to see all what a Fire Truck has on the truck. Thank you Cherry Hill Fire Department for letting us see a real fire truck.
The Summer Camp hosted an Alex's Lemonade Stand for Childhood Cancer Research. They made flyers, and built a stand and they made the lemonade. The children greeted parents and talked about how the donations were going toward cancer research. They counted the money and they raised $350.00. They were so proud of their efforts, as were we.
The children created their own football catapult in the Engineering Zone using popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and bottle caps. To test their catapult model out, the children used plastic cubes to see how far the cube would go. The children were very surprised to see the distance the cubes flew.
The Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Summer Camp were entertained by the Children's Theatre group, 'Family Stages', with a presentation of 'Hansel and Gretel'. The twist of the play was the witch ended up liking to eat vegetables instead of Hansel and Gretel. There were giggles and smiles as the actors changed characters and costumes. It was a good chance to be exposed to a live presentation with live actors.
Children learned about electrical circuits as they explore “Squishy Circuits” (conductive and insulating modeling dough). They attempted to use their dough to make LED lights, motors, and fans operate through their dough!
What an exciting time to be in Pre-k!! We are using chocolate and marshmallows to see how they react to the suns heat. Its always a fun experiment when it taste good!
The Splash Pad gives the toddlers the opportunity to experience playing in water. As this child is reaching out to touch or to catch the water as it sprays the Splash Pad, is a sensory experience, and it is fun.
To help the teachers start their holiday weekend off, we surprised the teachers with a luncheon of mini hot dogs and root beer floats. Thank you teachers!
Runner Kids is an enrichment at Primrose this summer that will work with toddlers on building their balance, coordination and running skills. It is done with obstacle courses and games for the children to participate in. Plus, it is fun!
We are so proud to present the Kindergarten Class of 2022. the children had practiced a poem and sang a song for the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, the children danced. There were some tears in the guest's eyes. Well done Kindergarten!
