Meet Saleem Karmaliani and Dr. Salima Mithani – dedicated parents of three daughters and active owners and operators of Primrose School of Savage. Primrose School of Savage was the very first Primrose to open its doors in Minnesota in August 2006. With years of successfully serving the Savage and Prior Lake communities, the couple decided to organically grow into neighborhoods where the communities were still lacking high quality early childhood education and care. As a result they own <a href="http://www.primrosesouthmpls.com/" target="_blank">Primrose School of South Minneapolis & Richfield</a> (opening soon) and <a href="http://www.primroseshoreview.com/">Primrose School of Arden Hills & Shoreview</a> (opening soon).As parents of young children themselves, Karmalianis understand the importance of starting early to shape a child’s educational foundation and character. The couple, sees first hand, the difference early childhood education makes in young livesas they have themselves witnessed how Primrose School has positively impacted their own children. "We knew we wanted to deliver the same high-quality care and education for other families," said Saleem. Recognizing how challenging it was to find a quality, early childhood development program for their own children, Karmalianis embraced and continue to promote the Primrose mission with a well-balanced educational experience for the families of South West Metro Cities, including Savage, Prior Lake, Shakopee and Burnsville.Saleem holds graduate degrees in Education and Public Policy, while Salima practices the field of Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. Both are graduates of University of Minnesota and have been living in Twin Cities for 20 plus years. Together they have three daughters Cerena and twins Sophie and Sara. Karmalianis love sports and are die-hard fans of Gophers and Minnesota Vikings. The family loves to spend time outdoors and are frequent visitors to Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). “Our mission remains consistent with the Primrose model: to provide our families with the premier well balanced early childhood development experience in a safe and loving environment. We know this is only possible with our parents and teachers continued partnership and support” said Saleem. His past experience in Education as well as working for the government in the field of Human Services for over 15 years is practically evident in his day to day operations in their schools. He leads a dedicated and professional team of 35 staff at Savage location.When we were introduced to Primrose for our own children, we immediately became enthralled with the teaching method, curriculum and dedication to developing each child emotionally and cognitively, said Dr. Salima Mithani. The couple recognized that Saleem's experience in education combined with Primrose Schools's philosophy would allow them to establish a school where parents and children felt comfortable and part of a family.Both Saleem and Salima volunteer for local community organizations in the field of education and public services. Dr. Salima Mithani also serves as the board member and treasurer of their children elementary school's PTO.
