Franchise Owners
Radhika and Alok Patel
Welcome to Primrose School of Fort Mill. We are Radhika and Alok Patel, the proud owners of this wonderful school. Alok is also the co-owner and will be onsite to support operation. We have been married for 15 years and are loving parents to two wonderful children, Ashvi and Hredhaan. Ashvi, at 13 years, embodies intelligence and creativity, while Hredhaan, at 8 years, exudes curiosity and joy. Radhika and Alok supports philanthropic activities through Santram Bhakta Samaj (Charlotte, North Carolina) and a nonprofit organization (NAR Gurukul -India) for orphan kids’ education and shelter along with supporting cancer awareness and diagnosis camps.
Radhika currently works in Procurement and Supply Chain Management for a Pharmaceutical company, and holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Business Management. Alok previously worked as a Project Lead Scientist at a Biopharma company, and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He brings in unique blend of scientific expertise and leadership experience to the team. Ashvi and Hredhaan are involved in various activates like soccer, theater arts, codding, gymnastic and learning holy Gita which keeps Radhika and Alok busy.
Outside of work, we enjoy reading, connecting with nature, socializing with friends and family, cooking delicious means and travelling to explore new cultures and cuisines.
With a shared goal of owning a business that brings us pride and satisfaction, we sought an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in our community. As parents and individuals, we believe in giving back and making a difference. Our passion for education led us to extensive research on child care options in our area. At the conclusion of our research, we realized none of the options captured our hearts the way Primrose Schools did. We were especially impressed by the Balanced Learning® approach. which aligns with our own values and beliefs, emphasizing purposeful play alongside nurturing guidance to foster curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion in children.
Guided by the wisdom passed down from our parents – that knowledge, including the values and principles learned in early childhood, is the greatest treasure, unlocking true power, strength and satisfaction- we were drawn to Primrose School’s commitment to excellence in early childhood education. We believe that these formative years are crucial in shaping a child’s character, social skills and emotional intelligence, and we are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive.
At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing experience for children and their families.
We along with our partners and friends Falgun and Krishna Patel and Viral and Krupali Patel, current Primrose School owners, are delighted to have you join our school family.
We are excited to meet you and your family!
