Early Education and Care in Walnut Creek, CA
Franchise Owner
Nick and Samina Kurji
Meet Nick and Samina Kurji, proud new Franchise Owners of Primrose School of Pleasanton & Walnut Creek East. Impressed by the quality of education Primrose provides, the Kurjis were thrilled with the opportunity to bring the first Primrose school to the Tri-Valley community and to the state of California. A family friend first introduced Nick and Samina to Primrose while they were living in Dallas. During a vacation in California, the Kurjis noticed a high demand for premium early education options in the Bay Area. Their passion for education and desire to bring the Primrose Experience to more families motivated the long-time Dallas residents to relocate to Pleasanton. As parents, we understand the importance of instilling a love of learning during a child’s early years, and we believe this is essential to building a new generation of bright citizens, says Nick. After learning about the unmatched curriculum, teaching methods and passion of those involved with Primrose, we quickly became avid supporters of the brand and we are committed to providing the Tri-Valley community with the best child care experience possible. Nick is a proven business owner, previously operating retail stores nationwide. Samina earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree but chose to stay home with their three children to play a full-time role in their development. She also enjoys practicing Kenpo karate, in which she has earned a first degree black belt. Nick and Samina will both be involved in daily operations of the new Walnut Creek School, the third of several schools the Kurjis plan to open in California. Along with a strong background in business, Nick and Samina are very involved in community service. The family’s ultimate goal is to help less fortunate families find ways to provide their children the quality early education they deserve. Primrose School of Walnut Creek East is featuring the exclusive Balanced Learning¬ system for children ages 6 weeks to 5-years-old. Developed by and taught exclusively at Primrose Schools, Balanced Learning blends teacher-directed and child-initiated activities with a special emphasis on character development in the schools.
