I’m a proud member of the Primrose community, having watched both of my children spend their first five formative years there. My journey began as a parent to one of the leadership team members.

Growing up, my parents owned a home daycare, which sparked my lifelong passion for working with children. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, but after having my own children, I quickly realized the immense value of Early Childhood Education as the foundation for future success. To further my understanding, I obtained my Early Childhood Education certification from Las Positas College.

With over a decade of experience in child care, spanning Primrose, Stratford, Montessori schools, and Kiddie Academy, I’ve gained a well-rounded perspective on how to nurture children’s growth in a variety of settings. Each day is a new learning experience—children learn from us, and we learn from them.

Ms. Falguni has led and supported various administrative functions as an Assistant Director for a successful childcare program. We are thrilled that she’s been with us for 5 years.

She is the backbone of our educational efforts, ensuring that lesson plans are prepared, supply lists are completed, and all materials for each week are ready to go.

Ms. Paul has been with Primrose Pleasanton for over 6 years and her passion and dedication continue to inspire us all.

From start to finish, she ensures that every child receives the nurturing, attentive care they deserve, providing peace of mind for parents. Her dedication to service, her joyful approach to each day, her ability to build trusted relationships, and her warm, sincere interactions all contribute to creating an environment where children feel valued and safe.
