Welcome to the Primrose family!

Alia and TJ have always held a special place for children in their hearts.  When they became parents themselves, it was only natural for them to seek out the best education and child care for their three kids. Quality of education has always been a vital component to their decision-making when selecting a school, so when they were introduced to the Balanced Learning® Approach, a comprehensive curriculum balancing purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers, it piqued their interest both as parents and potential owners of a Primrose school.

In 2019, Alia and TJ made the decision to invest their time and energy in learning what it takes to provide quality education and care in the childcare industry. They felt the love they had for children along with their background and education in business, recruiting and client services would make them an ideal fit to become school owners.

Primrose stood out for many reasons, but the most important was the culture of the Support Center.  It was very apparent to them that Primrose heavily supports its franchise owners in providing a top-notch experience for parents, children and teachers.

Alia holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from the American University of Washington D.C., and a master’s in business administration from the University of Strathclyde in the United Kingdom. She started her professional career as an analyst for American Century Investments and transitioned into Real Estate Development and Financial Services Operations for the past nine years.

TJ holds a bachelor’s in business and has completed graduate courses at Northwestern University. TJ was hired as a financial services professional at the age of 22 for a Fortune 100 Financial Service Company and seven years later he was the senior partner at the company. Two years later, he started his own firm.  TJ held all the top licenses in the Financial Services industry, including series 6, 63, 7, 26, & 24. TJ is extremely passionate about growing others and is excited to welcome your family to Primrose Cumming West.

Together Alia & TJ are looking forward to serving your family and the community and creating long-lasting relationships for years to come.

‘Who children become is as important as what they know’ is a belief that is at the core of the Balanced Learning approach, and one that will be upheld for many years to come.
