Franchise Owners

Malini Bhakta and Neeta Bhakta

Hello! We are Malini Bhakta and Neeta Bhakta—friends and proud Franchise Owners of Primrose School of Gilbert at Santan. As working parents ourselves and longtime members of the community, we are excited to offer the Primrose experience that’s enriched our lives and our children’s lives to even more families in Gilbert.

Initially, what sparked our interest in Primrose was its commitment to quality care and the school’s research-based Balanced Learning® curriculum. As parents who struggled to find quality care and early education for our children, we wanted to find the perfect solution for our family and all families in the Gilbert community. This need combined with our passion for children and early education, inspired us to open a school of our own.

As parents, we understand the importance of pursuing a career while providing a nurturing environment for your children. Primrose parents at our school can rest easy, knowing their children are receiving the best care and premier early education that will help set the foundation for future success. In fact, our kids will be enrolled in our school and involved in the after-school program, a testament to how much we love Primrose and how confident we feel about the quality of care it provides. Our hope is that our school will feel like an extension of your family and will provide parents a peace of mind knowing their children are growing their Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts®.

Opened on April 25th, 2016, Primrose School of Gilbert at Santan features the exclusive Balanced Learning® curriculum.

We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to our Primrose family!

See What Families Are Saying

We have been a Primrose family for three years now and we couldn’t be more pleased. We love the leadership, the front office staff and all of the teachers. More than that though, we absolutely love the curriculum. Both of my kiddos enrolled are majorly excelling and exceeding all milestones - and my son who is in the pre-k class now is more than prepared to start kindergarten this fall at only five years and two months of age. Last but not least, we always feel like our concerns, even though very few and far between, are addressed immediately and met without judgement. We ask a lot of questions and always feel supported in this process. We can’t wait to enroll our third baby this summer and find a lot of solace and peace knowing she’s going to a school that genuinely cares and keeps her safe and happy. 11/10 always recommend Primrose School of Gilbert at SanTan to friends of mine and other families in the valley looking!
Always transparent with parents and my kids have excelled beyond all educational and developmental benchmarks for their age and in elementary school. The staff is warm, welcoming, and nurturing! My family loves Primrose School of Gilbert at Santan.
We love Primrose, all of the teachers and leadership are wonderful!! We feel like they are part of our family and truly care about our son! We love all of the activities and curriculum. Our son has learned so much!
Primrose was absolutely wonderful! They all cared so well for my son. All the staff and teachers were so attentive to his needs and went above and beyond for him. He always couldn’t wait to go there and hated to leave. He loved his teachers, always had so much fun and learned so much! We are so grateful for everyone there!
The nurturing environment that challenges its students at every stage of development. We really enjoy the family dynamic with bonding activities through home projects. Lastly, the community events through acts of service are planting the seeds to promote future leaders.
