Welcome to Primrose Schools!
We are Rimple Kothari & Anjli Kothari – not only are we sisters-in-law, but we are the proud owners of the Primrose School of Hillsborough! Between the two of us, we have three children and know first- hand how important it is to find a nurturing and trusting early learning center. For this reason, we are excited to bring Primrose to the Hillsborough area!
Like most parents, we looked high and low for a school that focused on all aspects of character development and learning. We discovered Primrose Schools in 2011 when we looked for schools for our children, and instantly fell in love with all that it had to offer. We were impressed with the level of care, and education provided through the exclusive Balanced Learning® curriculum which infuses purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion within the children.
Years later when we got the opportunity to start our own business, we agreed that Primrose Schools was the right franchise for us to give back to the young children in the community. We truly believe that what we do matters. Our philosophy is based on the Primrose simple, yet powerful phrase. “We believe who children become is as important as what they know”. We are excited to provide children with an environment where they can grow socially, emotionally and intellectually.
We are excited to meet you and your family!
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all staff members background-checked and CPR/first-aid certified?
Yes. Every Primrose staff member undergoes a thorough background check before joining our school. All staff are also CPR and first–aid certified, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, prepared hands every day.
What curriculum or educational philosophy do you follow?
Our school uses the proprietary Primrose Schools Balanced Learning® curriculum, which is research-informed and designed to nurture the whole child — intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. We believe in balancing teacher-guided learning with purposeful play to build a strong foundation for the future.
How do you support school readiness and the transition to kindergarten?
All of our programs are designed in age-appropriate ways to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond. We focus on early literacy and numeracy as well as social-emotional skill development — so children arrive at kindergarten confident and ready to thrive. 96% of Primrose Schools Pre-K students met ASQ benchmarks for problem solving.*
What are your hours of operation?
We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am-6:30 pm.
How do you keep parents informed about their child's day?
Connecting school to home is one of the ways we help children thrive. We use the Procare app to share daily updates and photos so you stay connected to your child’s joy, learning and special moments
How do you accommodate children with allergies or special medical needs?
Health and safety is our top priority, and we work closely with families to accommodate allergies and medical needs. We ask that parents provide detailed information during enrollment so we can create a safe plan for their child. All Primrose schools are nut-free facilities.
What is your policy for school closures?
We follow a structured calendar with planned days off communicated in advance for the year. For any unexpected closures — including weather-related closures — we will communicate them as early as possible.
