Welcome to Primrose Schools! We are the proud owners, Pooja and Raghu Navalgund, of Primrose School of Maple Grove! As parents to a 7-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, we understand the profound impact quality childcare can have on a child’s life. We also recognize the challenge of finding a safe and educational environment that offers an exceptional experience. We are thrilled to be part of the Primrose family and to share this incredible school with the Maple Grove community. As software IT professionals, our commitment to children extends back decades. During our time in the IT industry, we discovered a nonprofit focused on children’s education for underserved communities. Volunteering there brought us immense satisfaction as we witnessed the positive impact of our efforts on children’s lives. Our Primrose journey began when we had our son in 2016 in California. In 2017, a job offer in Denver led to the bold decision for Pooja and our son to move to Denver, while Raghu continued working in California. In our research for exceptional childcare in Denver, we discovered the excellence of Primrose. Later, when our daughter joined Primrose, we observed the same ongoing benefits of safe and curriculum-based childcare. Inspired by these experiences, we decided to contribute further to the community, and seizing the opportunity, chose to open our own location. “Who children become is as important as what they know” is a belief that is at the core of our Balanced Learning ® approach. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families. We are overjoyed to be part of the Primrose family and look forward to making a positive impact on the Maple Grove community.
