Hi Prestonwood Families,

Hi, my name is Bela Desai, and I am thrilled to lead such amazing schools as the Franchise Owner-Operating Partner for the Rigley Primrose Schools. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead such a strong and nurturing team! I am committed to continue to represent Primrose in Dr. Rigley’s distinguished brand.

I am originally from Kansas City. I moved to the Lone Star state for my college education in Nursing. While in college, my journey in teaching began with Primrose Schools in 2009. Primrose helped me realize my true passion, Early Childhood Education! I was motivated to pursue my degree in the field of education. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Health Studies in Child Development and my Master’s in Education in Educational Leadership. I am certified in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. I have also received my Texas Training Registry to conduct faculty trainings in the state of Texas.

In 2018 I made a career change. I joined a childcare corporate company for a year and half. I served as a Consultant and Mentor for over 50 Franchisee’s and Directors guiding best practices to provide high-quality early childhood education. It was during this time I came to the realization that my heart was with Primrose.

I joined the Rigley Primrose team as the Director of Education in 2020 with over 15 years of Primrose experience in order to learn Dr. Rigley’s Primrose philosophies and policies.

I am proud to share Dr. Rigley’s passion to provide the best in Early Education within a nurturing and positive learning environment and committed to guiding the best practices of Primrose in order to provide high-quality early childhood education for all those I guide and inspire.

I cannot wait to get to know each one of you!

Bela Desai

Franchise Owner-Operating Partner

Hello, my name is Ana Bravo and I am the Executive Director at Primrose School of Prestonwood. I graduated from the International Business Academy at Newman Smith High School and received my Child Development Associate degree in 2022.

I am a wife and mother to a beautiful daughter and a wonderful son! I have more than seven years of experience in early childcare education. I absolutely love working with children because I get to watch them grow and see them blossom into amazing little humans. The weekends are when I can spend time with my family, and we love spending time outdoors watching baseball games or just relaxing at home.

I am so excited to be a part of the Rigley’s Primrose Schools. Children and their growth and development are my passion and I look forward to creating a positive learning environment for not only them but for our amazing teachers as well. I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family!

I’m  Mrs. Sheila and I wanted to tell you a little about myself.

I was born & raised in Dallas.  I live with my husband and two beautiful rescue dogs, Honey & Diesel.  My hobbies include spending time with my family, thrifting, and making jewelry.  I have over 8 years of early childhood education experience and I have been part of the Primrose School of Prestonwood family since February 2024.

I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family.

Howdy!! My name is Lindsay Fowler and I am so excited to be a part of the Primrose of Prestonwood family. I am originally from Portland, Texas but moved to the Dallas area 16 years ago. I come from a large family that includes multiple nieces & nephews. Being an aunt is one of the most rewarding and special titles I have ever had the honor of being blessed with!

I have been in the Early Childhood Education field for over 20 years. I have had the privilege to shape young minds of all ages, from infants to high school age students. I have been with Dr. Rigley’s schools for over 11 years.

I am so excited to be part of the Primrose School of Prestonwood family as it gives me the opportunity to do what I love: teach young minds! Each and every day I learn something new from every child I encounter!

Hi, my name is Grace Sanders and I am thrilled to be the Administrative Assistant at Primrose School of Prestonwood. I was born and raised in Kansas City but moved to Dallas a few years ago. I have a wonderful husband, Jackson and four cats, Arya, Renley, Loki & Finn.

I have been working in Early Childhood Education for over 10 years, working with all age groups. Working with children is my passion. Being a part of the Rigley group for almost 5 years has been rewarding!

I am so excited to be a part of the Primrose School of Prestonwood family as it gives me the opportunity to do what I love: partner with families and help them feel comfortable that their little ones are safe with us! Each and everyday I learn something new!

Hi, my name is Megan Liles, and I am so happy to be a part of the Rigley Schools! I was born in Fort Worth and raised in Dallas. My dad is a retired elementary school music teacher–and I knew early on that I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from the University of Texas at Austin–Hook Em Horns!

I’ve spent the last 10 years working as a freelance actor and designer in opera and musical theatre, but my first passion has always been Arts Education, maintaining a private voice studio and teaching in children’s and youth theatre programs. My students have been nationally recognized in competition and have gone on to prestigious universities and national performing tours. I am passionate about education and giving children the foundation to grow into their best possible selves. I have been privileged to work with many wonderful students over the years, and to continually learn from each of them in return. I joined Rigley Primrose Schools as a director for our new location Kessler Park.  I am so excited to continue my new  journey as the Executive Leadership Support for multiple locations with the Rigley Primrose family!

I love gardening, spending time outside (when it’s not 5 million degrees), and trying new restaurants and coffeeshops. I have the most adorable cat in the entire world—a Norwegian Forest cat named Fitzgerald or Fitz for short. He is super spoiled, but so sweet. 

I’m looking forward to meeting and learning about the children and families of Rigley Primrose Schools!

I’m Ms. Nicole and I wanted to tell you a little about myself.
