Nisha & Ravi Patel
Welcome to Primrose School of East Brunswick! We are proud to provide the East Brunswick community with high-quality preschool and child care. Before joining Primrose, we started as Primrose parents. We discovered Primrose in our journey to provide our son with a balanced and enriching early educational experience. Immediately, we were drawn to the curriculum developed around not only academics but social, emotional and character development. We noticed significant, positive growth in our son and were grateful to be a part of the Primrose community. Born and raised in New Jersey, Nisha graduated with her bachelor’s degree in special education and began her career as a preschool teacher before obtaining her master’s degree in speech language pathology. As a speech language pathologist, she worked with adult and geriatric populations, school-aged children with autism and most recently, young children in private practice. Ravi was born and raised in Pennsylvania. He completed his education at Drexel University and currently works in digital ad sales in Hoboken. They have two wonderful sons and love to travel as a family, spend time with loved ones and read At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. Our exclusive 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 experience for children and their families. We are excited to meet you and your family!
