Mrs. Jennifer
“When people ask me why I became a Kindergarten teacher, I always tell them it’s because there’s nothing more magical than watching a young child discover the world. It’s not just about teaching ABC’s and 123’s; it’s about seeing their eyes light up when they finally understand something new, helping them make their first friends, and guiding them as they learn to navigate their emotions. I love knowing that I get to lay the ground work for their entire educational journey, instilling a love of learning that I hope stays with them for life. It’s a challenging job, but the joy and wonder these little ones bring into my classroom every day make it the most rewarding career imaginable!”

Franchise Owners
Krupa Patel, Mohit and Bejal Patel
Welcome to Primrose School of Mt Juliet!
We are the proud owners, Krupa Patel, Mohit and Bejal Patel of Primrose School of Mt. Juliet.
Before becoming a Primrose Franchise Owner, Krupa worked as a sustainability and environmental awareness educator where she had the privilege of spearheading some wonderful programs for both K-12 aged children and adults. In this role, Krupa combined her two passions – education, and her love for the environment. Along with her full-time educator positions, Krupa has also managed her family’s hospitality business. For Krupa, education is not only about a quality curriculum. It is also about sparking joy that encourages curiosity and play – this is what will help children of all ages learn and connect to real-world experiences.
When her family friends, Mohit and Bejal, introduced her to Primrose Schools, she found their values aligned closely, and she knew becoming a Franchise Owner with Primrose was something she wanted to pursue. Krupa was drawn to Primrose’s Balanced Learning® approach to education which encourages children to learn through curiosity, play, and creativity to instill confidence and develop skills and traits.
Mohit and his wife, Bejal, Patel live in the Bay Area but are closely connected to Nashville, as their parents live here. An engineer by profession, Mohit has earned a Master of Science degree from Johns Hopkins University in bioinformatics where he graduated with honors. In his career previously, he went from supporting various military agencies to managing a team for a multi-billion-dollar company. His wife, Bejal, has a Master’s in Communications and childcare Site-Supervisor permit in California. She is an enthusiastic communications specialist with experience in corporate communications and public relations for many Fortune 500 companies. Their family’s legacy of providing high-quality education led them to open their Primrose school. Today, they used their privilege to make an impact in the lives of teachers, children, and families. They are also owners of 2 other Primrose Schools.
Who children become is as important as what they know is a belief that is at the core of our Balanced Learning approach. 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 early learning experience for children and their families.
We are excited to meet you and your family!
