Franchise Owners
Dhruva & Taral Patel
Welcome to Primrose School of Novi! We are proud to bring high-quality preschool and child care to young children and families in the Novi, Michigan community.
As parents of two wonderful children, we understand the challenge of finding a safe, nurturing and educational environment that provides the high level of care we want for our most precious little ones. Our passion for family and our commitment to the community inspired us to open a Primrose school.
After living in Chicago for several years, we decided to move back to Taral’s home state, Michigan, to be closer to family and friends and join a like-minded community as our children grew older. Soon after our move, we were looking for a meaningful career change and eagerly embraced the opportunity to open a Primrose school in Novi. Having seen the exceptional child care at Primrose schools in other cities through friends and family, we knew this was the path we wanted to take, and we are excited to dedicate our future to serving families.
Dhruva’s background is in corporate healthcare operations, and Taral is a Physical Therapist serving the Novi and surrounding communities with an entrepreneurial background. We are continually impressed by Primrose and the exceptional approach to education, accredited curriculum, enrichment activities and character development program.
We passionately believe in giving back to the community, with Dhruva volunteering at our daughter’s school and Taral, a devoted Detroit sports fan, coaching our daughter’s basketball team. Outside of Primrose, our greatest joy comes from spending quality time with our family. Whether it’s attending one of our children’s dance performances or sporting events, we cherish every moment. And, as proud Michiganders, we love supporting our local sports teams!
We look forward to meeting you and your family!
