Meet 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. Padmavathy Parthasarathy, 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, Padmavathy has a passion for children and their well-being, and Ankit’s own passion for early education and children came from his growing family.
“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.

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!
Our Balanced Learning® approach weaves in character development and life skills into daily learning experiences because we believe who children become is as important as what they know.
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!
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.
This Spring, we had a gathering of geese make their home near the school. After a few weeks, there were baby goslings. The toddlers get very excited when they see the geese and goslings walk across the school. The children start to scream with excitement and they all gather along the fence to watch.
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.
Each Primrose school is held to high standards of safety and cleanliness while maintaining a caring and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
There’s no question that parents want their preschoolers to grasp the basics of colors, numbers and letters to foster a lifetime of learning.
Today we continued our discussion about plants, and we discovered that we eat different parts of plants! We eat carrots (the roots), celery (the stem), spinach (the leaves), and broccoli florets (the flowers). Eating plant parts everyday helps to keep us healthy!
It might seem odd to think about your preschooler exploring data analysis and algebra.
The teachers need a quiet and peaceful area to take a break from their busy day. During 'Teacher Appreciation Week', we created a 'no kid zone' for the teachers to enjoy during their break. Thank you teachers for all you do for the children.
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.
The Preschool class were encouraged to remain still to keep their balanced. First we balanced on all four parts of our body( both hands and feet). Then we tried to balance on three parts of our body (lifting up one of their legs and keeping their hands on the ground). Next we tried to balance on two parts of your body(placing their balance onto an arm and one foot). Thumbs Up is our physical development curriculum that breaks skills for the children to practice.
The Pre-kindergarten classroom did an experiment in the Primrose Patch to make an observation about biodegradable materials. They dug and buried four different materials, a leaf, a piece of fruit, some plastic and a piece of foam. At the end of the week, they will dig up the samples and see what happened.
The toddlers noticed their image on the door. How did that happen? Then they started to block the light and create new imagines. This play was driven by the children's natural curiosity during the day's Choice Time. The observation made a reconnection to another Unit of Learning about light and dark.
Today the children explored non-toxic soil samples. We learned that soil is made-up of small bits of rocks, minerals, and dead plants and animals. The children had the chance to explore, classify, experiment with, and describes (properties and uses for) physical elements of the Earth (rock, soil, air, water, etc.). They found dead plants, small rocks and some insect legs. This was a hands-on experiment gave the children the chance to get their hands dirty and make observations on their own.
The Early Preschool class is exploring the snow. Learning the difference of how much harder it is to walk in the snow and what does snow feel like. How much fun to be outside with friends playing in the snow. Hooray to the teachers for getting them all dressed!!!
The children made predictions about the daytime sky and compared them to our actual observations when we checked outside! The children recognized that both the sun and moon can be visible during the day time. They blocked the sun to cast shadows on the playground to celebrate Groundhog's Day! You can see, six more weeks of Winter.
Reading to infants is essential to help develop their vocabulary. With a book, the teacher can point and show the infant eyes, nose and teeth of the baby in the book. This is also a warm and nurturing moment when a teacher reads to an infant one on one.
The children helped to pack up bags of donated items to give to the Elias Shirley Homeless Shelter in Philadelphia. The children made over 200 bags of essential items for the guest at the shelter.
The purpose of this activity was to give children practice using directional phrases while following instructions. The children were shown the map and explained that they will be using their map skills to take a treasure hunt together! We review directional phrases: left, right, on, under, around, next to, on top of, and below. As a group, we looked at the map and decide what steps to take first. We made sure to use as many directional words as possible. For example, go around a chair, under the table, left of the bookcase, right of the easel, and two steps backwards.
The school held a Food Drive for the local Food Pantry. The school collected over 30 cases of food from the donations. The Kindergarten class had to sort the food according to cans or boxes of food. Everyone help to pass the cans of food down the line from their classroom to the boxes.
The Prekindergarten class honored the school's military families by inviting them to join the class in a Pledge of Allegiance outside at the school's flag pole. After the salute, the children gave the guests cards of appreciation for their "protecting us".
The children worked on their fine motor skills by placing colorful straws inside a bottle . Each bottle had a different number on it . We had to put the correct number of straws inside the bottle.
