Let’s get to know each other.I’m Ms. Vang.I wanted to tell you a little about myself.You see, at Primrose Schools we’re more than a team of professional teachers and child care education specialists. We’re also a family, and we care for every child as though he or she was our own. And like your home, our school provides a secure, nurturing environment that fosters self-discovery and a love of learning.I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.Name: Ms. VangHometown: Brooklyn Center, MinnesotaChild care experience: My childcare experience started in 2018 at Gaetz Kiddie Kare Center, St. Cloud, MN. Before, I've taught in college classroom settings for 2 years. Now, I just want to teach the younger generations because they are the future - the path they choose, determines the future.Education Background: I graduated from Elk River Senior High School, located in Elk River, MN. I got my B.A. degree at St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud, MN - majoring in Women's Studies & minoring in Human Relations and Film Studies. Now, I am currently enrolling in St. Cloud State University for my M.A. degree on Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). I am currently working on my thesis and expected to graduate in May 2020.Favorite food: My favorite foods are the foods made by my love ones. Foods are always best when love ones come and enjoyed it altogether. Also, thankfully I'm not a picky-eater.Favorite weekend activity: My favorite weekend activity is spending quality time with my families and my fiancee. I love the adventures where we go camping, mini-road trips, mini-getaways, biking, hiking, walking in the parks, barbecues, swimming, and other outdoor activities. It's amazing to live life to its fullest potential.Favorite children’s book: My favorite children's books are the books by Shel Silverstein. An amazing author with great poems.Primrose character I most relate to: Benjamin the Bear - Generosity: He shows students the meaning of giving without expecting anything in returns as well as participating their role from beginning to the end. I believe if our society cares a bit more, the future won't be difficult to live in.What I’m most excited about this school year: I've always been passionate about teaching the young minds. Now, I'm ready for the next step to another chapter of my life.

Saira Sidi and Sulaiman Hemani, are proud Franchise Owners of Primrose School of St. Louis Park West, who are thrilled to bring the unique Primrose Experience to the children and families in the greater Minneapolis area.Saira and Sulaiman -who have been married for nearly 20 years and have lived in Maplewood, Minn., for 18 years—were first introduced to the idea of opening their own Primrose school in late 2014 when a close friend became a Franchise Owner. The couple was immediately inspired by the life-changing opportunity, which was not only a career change and an exciting business venture but also a chance to make a difference in their community by shaping the lives of tomorrow’s leaders. The couple met in Montreal, Canada, while both were attending Concordia University (and Saira was also pursuing an associate’s degree in nursing from Dawson College). Saira, who has been a nurse for more than two decades and has always been passionate about education and health, will use her skills and expertise to handle the day-to-day operations of the school. Sulaiman, a tech industry veteran and computer systems architect, will provide “behind-the-scenes” support and financial guidance. Both have been active volunteers in their community and believe in giving and serving without expectation, so they are also excited to continue their commitment to giving back through the Primrose PromiseTM corporate social responsibility program. They have witnessed firsthand the incredible difference Primrose Schools has made in the lives of young children whom they are very close to. As Franchise Owners, their goal is to provide a loving, warm atmosphere where children can grow Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts®. “Every single day, my personal goal is to make a difference in at least one person’s life. That is what I stand for and is what I would like to share,” explains Saira.Sulaiman agrees, adding, “The Primrose culture and values align with our own personal values. I want to ask parents, ‘when your child grows up, what kind of person do you want him to be?’ If they want him to be a passionate, good person with strong morals, then this is the perfect place for him. We will provide a value system for children in their early years that will guide them for the rest of their lives.” Slated to open winter 2017, Primrose School of St. Louis Park West will feature the Balanced Learning® curriculum in infant through Kindergarten classrooms and the Primrose Explorers before- and after-school program for students up to age 12. Developed and taught exclusively at Primrose Schools, the research-informed curriculum blends purposeful play with nurturing guidance to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion.Primrose School of St. Louis Park West is located at 8955 West 36th Street.
