Primrose School would love to meet your family.
Contact UsMy name is Ms. Shubra and I am very excited to be joining the Primrose Livermore team! I have 16 years of experience in childcare working as both a teacher and as an administrator—I love every aspect of my job both inside and outside of the classroom and really enjoy spending time with the little ones of any age. I have raised my own two kids while working so I understand both aspect of having own kids in childcare as wells as being a childcare provider.
My hobbies include cooking, spending time with my kids, and going on walks. My favorite children’s book are Where The Wild Things Are. I look forward to getting to know everyone!
Hello everyone, My name is Elora Begum and I am so excited to be joining the Primrose School of Livermore Family as the Assistant Director. I have 10+ years of childcare experience, as well as having completed the Montessori Early Childhood Teacher Credential Course from Montessori Teacher Education Center San Francisco Bay area. My profession started with a teacher, then I became head teacher and then I got promoted to the Director position. I have also obtained my Bachelor's Degree in business administration.
My favorite part about working in childcare is the excitement and smiles on the children's faces everyday and seeing how eager they are to learn and have fun. I truly believe that being a childcare worker is a rewarding job, as you get the opportunity of being in children's lives and help guide them to bright futures.
A little bit about me is that I am a mother of two daughters, one being almost 18 and the other 16. I enjoy reading novels, watching movies, cooking, and spending time with my family (and cat). I look forward to meeting everyone!

Meet Piyoosh and Neha Jalan, proud multi-unit Franchise Owners of Primrose School of Livermore. The Jalans are longtime residents of the Bay Area and excited to bring the high-quality Primrose Experience to Tri-Valley families.
Neha and Piyoosh discovered the need for high-quality early education in their area when they had their first daughter, Ishita in 2008. “When we had Ishita, we could not find one facility that had the combination of a nurturing, loving environment and the balanced learning we wanted for our daughter,” Neha said.
As a teacher herself with a background in early education, Neha took matters into her own hands. “I ended up leaving my teaching career and started my own home-based childcare for Bay Area families in 2008.”
In 2011, with the birth of their son, Samar, just a few months away, the Jalans decided to go one step further in helping Neha pursue her dreams by researching child care franchises. They flew to Houston to visit a Primrose School. “We were so impressed with the Primrose curriculum, infrastructure, philosophy and culture that we instantly decided to become part of the Primrose family,” Piyoosh said.
While both Neha and Piyoosh are originally from India, though they grew up on opposite sides of the country. Piyoosh first came to America to attend college at Cornell University, and upon graduating with a master’s degree in Computer Science he decided to stay in the country. He moved to California in 2003 and began his career in Silicon Valley, working for companies that include IBM, Yahoo! and Microsoft. Meanwhile, Neha earned a degree in Information Technology from Osmania University in the technology hub of Hyderabad, India. Teaching has always been her passion, however, so after graduation she took a teaching position at one of the largest preschool franchises in India and had great success, earning a Teacher of the Year award in 2004.
“As a mother of two wonderful children, I understand how difficult it is to place your child in someone else's care,” Neha said. “Primrose School of Livermore will always strive to be a home away from home. We will partner with parents in order to serve children with the same passion, care and love they see at home.”
Primrose School of Livermore features the exclusive Balanced Learning® approach which blends purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.
Please reach out to us to learn more about our school, and the outstanding curriculum and educational approach of Primrose brand. We are looking forward to meeting you!
