Celebree School<\/a>, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, will open its newest school on Aug. 11, in Branchburg-Somerville<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located at 1005 US-202, the new school will provide a customized program that addresses the physical, social, emotional and academic needs of children while adhering to New Jersey\u2019s early education standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early childhood education center will serve infants through preschool-age children and bring more than 25 new jobs to the community. An official ribbon-cutting ceremony<\/a> hosted by the local chamber of commerce will take place on Aug. 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school is owned and operated by Jalpesh Chokshi, a local entrepreneur and father of two who left a career in finance in 2012 to follow his passion for small business. While running local Mexican restaurants, he was inspired by his children\u2019s daycare experience to focus on early education and make a lasting impact in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t just want to build a business \u2014 I wanted to build something meaningful for my family and the community,\u201d said Chokshi. \u201cCelebree is a place where children grow, families feel supported and community ties are strengthened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chokshi will own and operate the location with the support of his wife, Dhruti, a clinical scientist and current PTO president at a local school. The couple is committed to giving back to the community through meaningful partnerships. For every child enrolled, the school will make donations to nonprofit organizations such as Make-A-Wish<\/a> and the Ronald McDonald House of Southern New Jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Celebree School<\/a> is exploring a partnership with Somerset Pediatric Hospital to further support children and families in the area. Residents may also see Celebree School featured on kids\u2019 menus, activity mats and other family-friendly items as part of its community engagement efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to continue to help brilliant entrepreneurs like Jalpesh Chokshi actualize their business goals and have them join our Celebree School family,\u201d said Richard Huffman, founder and CEO of Celebree School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we continue to expand our brand\u2019s footprint through franchising, it\u2019s more important than ever that we partner with local community leaders who have a passion for early childhood education. The opening of Jalpesh\u2019s school brings me immense pride and joy. I know he is the perfect franchisee to drive our mission forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
