Meet the Owners
Meet Piyoosh and Neha Jalan, proud multi-unit Franchise Owners of Primrose School of San Ramon, Livermore and Silicon Forest. As longtime Bay Area residents, the Jalans are excited to bring the premier Primrose Experience to families in San Ramon, CA. With years of success operating the Primrose School of Livermore and Primrose School of Silicon Forest they are dedicated to providing an exceptional early education environment for the community.
Our Story
Neha and Piyoosh recognized the need for high-quality early education when they had their first daughter, Ishita, in 2008. “When we had Ishita, we couldn’t find a facility that combined a nurturing, loving environment with the balanced learning we wanted for our daughter,” says Neha.
With her background in early education, Neha took matters into her own hands and left her teaching career to start a home-based childcare service for Bay Area families in 2008. By 2011, with the birth of their son Samar on the horizon, the Jalans decided to take their passion for early education even further. After extensive research, they visited a Primrose School in Houston and were immediately impressed by its curriculum, infrastructure, philosophy, and culture. “We knew right away that we wanted to be part of the Primrose family,” says Piyoosh.
A Commitment to Excellence
Originally from opposite sides of India, both Neha and Piyoosh have always had a passion for learning and education. Piyoosh came to the United States to attend Cornell University, where he earned a master’s degree in Computer Science before beginning his career in Silicon Valley at companies like IBM, Yahoo!, and Microsoft. Meanwhile, Neha pursued her degree in Information Technology at Manipal University in Hyderabad, India. Despite her background in technology, teaching has always been her passion, and she achieved great success in early childhood education, earning the 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,” says Neha. “Primrose School of Silicon Forest will always strive to be a home away from home. We are committed to partnering with parents to provide children with the same passion, care, and love they receive at home.”
