Hello, my name is Jamie Keel and I am pleased to introduce myself as the Executive Director for the Primrose School of Atascocita, Primrose School at Crossroads Park, Primrose School of Copperfield, Primrose School of Greatwood, Primrose School at Balmoral, Primrose School of Sugar Land, and Primrose School of Eagle Springs. I started my career in early childhood in 2009 and have worked with Primrose Schools since 2010. I graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications, however continued my education at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. It was at the University of St. Thomas where I completed my education coursework and obtained an early childhood through 6^th grade teacher certification. I have experience as a Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Lead Teacher as well as Leadership experience as both Assistant Director and School Director. My husband Adam and I have three amazing children who all attended Primrose. Primrose is more than a school for us; it is a part of our family! I am proud to say I get to work at the very best preschool for infant through kindergarten and after school care for the Northwest Houston, Northeast Houston, Jersey Village, Cypress, Sugar Land, and surrounding areas.

Hi! My name is Amber Rhodes, and I am the Regional Director at Primrose School of Atascocita, Primrose School at Balmoral, and Primrose School of Eagle Springs. I have been part of the Primrose family since August 2013, when I started my Primrose journey as an Early Preschool teacher.

Over the years, my role has grown, but my love for Early Education has only grown stronger. I quickly discovered that my passion goes beyond teaching children, I truly enjoy teaching, mentoring, and supporting the educators and leaders around me. I love helping teachers grow in their confidence, develop their skills, and reach their goals within their education careers. Primrose provides such a strong foundation for future educators, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to play a part in their journey. Leading, supporting, and encouraging the people around me is truly what I love to do best!

Outside of Primrose, I am a mom to my daughter, Addisyn, and my newest little addition, Davis! Addisyn attended Primrose for most of her childhood and now loves to dance, which means I spend a lot of my free time being a proud Dance Mom and watching her do what she loves most. With a new baby at home, life is definitely busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I truly love being part of the Primrose family and feel so lucky to spend my days surrounded by such wonderful staff, children, and families. I look forward to getting to know each of you and continuing to grow together!

I love being a part of this Primrose Family and spending my days with our wonderful staff and families!

Hello, I’m Sara Sawyer! I was born in Denver, Colorado, but grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where I developed a deep love for Southern hospitality. I love crawfish boils, watching LSU Tigers football, and enjoying homecooked Louisiana meals! When I’m not at school, you can usually find me spending time with my grandchildren, who keep me busy and my heart full.

I’ve always had a passion for working with children. There is not just one reason why I love it, I truly love everything about helping them grow, learn, and feel supported. Being an advocate for children is a calling I’ve embraced throughout my career, and I’m excited to bring that same dedication and passion to the families and students at Primrose.

Hello! My name is Mrs. Gabby Luna, and I’ve been a part of the Primrose Family since 2019. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for Early Education. During my time here, I’ve held various positions, including Preschool Pathways Lead Teacher and now Education Coach. I love watching each child learn and grow, and I’m dedicated to helping them reach their full potential.

In addition to working with the children, I enjoy mentoring and assisting fellow teachers to help them develop into the best educators they can be. I’m excited to one day earn my degree in Early Childhood Education and continue thriving here at Primrose Schools. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son. I love bringing a lighthearted and silly approach to teaching, both for the students and staff. I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family!

Hi! I’m Kaitlyn McCombs, and I’m excited to be a part of the Primrose School family!

 I have always enjoyed staying active and spending time outdoors. I played soccer for many years as a goalkeeper, and in my free time I enjoy fishing, reading, and spending time with my family. I am a proud boy mom and love cheering my son on as he plays baseball and enjoys riding his dirt bike. Creating special memories with family is one of my favorite things!

My son has been a student at Primrose School of Atascocita since 2021, and watching his growth and development inspired me to become a part of the Primrose community. I wanted the opportunity to help create the same positive and meaningful experiences for other children.

I look forward to getting to know each child and family, building strong relationships, and creating a classroom where every child feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I am so excited to make wonderful memories with our students and families throughout the year!

Hello, I’m Chandis Snow, and I’m excited to introduce myself as a Support Staff member at Primrose School at Balmoral!

You’ll find me helping wherever I’m needed, whether that’s in the classrooms or front office. I recently moved back to the South with my husband after living on the East Coast for 16 years. Originally from Louisiana (shoutout to all my fellow Saints fans!), we are now happy to call Houston, Texas, home.

I’ve been happily married to my wonderful husband for over 20 years, and together we have three children whom I absolutely adore. Family is very important to me, and I love creating meaningful connections with the people around me.

Every day, I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and supported. Caring for children during this special stage of development and watching them grow, reach important milestones, and begin discovering the world around them is incredibly rewarding.

Outside of Primrose, I have been happily married to my wonderful husband, Ruben, for 22 years. We are blessed with three amazing children who keep us very busy and bring so much joy to our lives.

Through both my family life and my journey at Primrose, I continue to grow personally and professionally. I strive each day to become a better teacher, a better team member, and a better person.

Working with children is truly my passion – being a part of their growth, learning and happiness brings so much joy to my heart. I love creating a positive, nurturing environment where kids feel safe, loved and encouraged to be themselves.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, staying busy with our family businesses, and making memories with my family. In my free time, you’ll find me  watching movies, going on little adventures or relaxing with a good book or my Bible and a hot tea.

Let’s get to know each other.

Hello, I’m Ms. Keisha, and I’d love to tell you a little about myself!

I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Jamaica, and I am proud to bring my warm and welcoming spirit to Primrose. For more than 25 years, I worked in the hospitality industry, where I had the opportunity to care for and connect with people visiting the island. I’m now excited to focus my time, energy, and passion on something I believe is even more important—the future of our children and babies.

I’m a big sports fan and have enjoyed playing volleyball for many years. In my free time, I also love watching movies and relaxing whenever I get the chance. Of course, relaxing can be a little challenging when my granddaughter is around and ready to give me a makeover! I also enjoy Italian and Oriental cuisine.

When asked which Primrose Character I relate to the most, my answer would have to be ALL of them! I truly love the concept of teaching children not only academics, but also important character development skills. I believe these skills help lay a strong foundation for children as they learn how to be kind, confident, caring, responsible, and respectful, traits we all strive to have!

I’m so excited to be part of the Primrose family and to have the opportunity to learn, grow, and build meaningful relationships with our students and families.

Hello, my name is Tranique Moore, and working in childcare has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

Hello! My name is Ms. Janelle, and here are a few things about myself I’d love to share with you!

I’m a digital artist and have been drawing for around 11 years. I spend a lot of my free time playing video games, working out, drawing, and watching shows and films. I’m also a big science and music lover! I love being creative and exploring new ideas, and I enjoy bringing that creativity and curiosity into the classroom.

One of my favorite parts of being in a classroom is engaging with my students and getting to know their unique personalities and interests. I especially enjoy participating in the Primrose Harmony & Hearts program, which gives me a wonderful opportunity to bring my love of music into the classroom. I love watching students sing, dance, move, and express themselves through music while building confidence and developing important social-emotional skills.

I’m excited to create fun and meaningful learning experiences where students can explore, be creative, and feel encouraged to be themselves.

My name is Ms. Kim, and I am so excited to get to know you and your children!

I am excited to build relationships with each child and help make their classroom experience fun, creative, and memorable!

Hello! I’m Ms. Amarii. I was born and raised in sunny San Diego, CA, and at 24 years old, I’m proud to say I’ve already spent a decade working with children—a passion that continues to inspire me every day.

When I’m not in the classroom, you can usually find me curled up with a good book or enjoying quality time with my family. I also have a lovable Rottweiler who keeps me active with our daily walks. In my free time, I enjoy shooting hoops and experimenting with new baking recipes.

One of my favorite parts of working with children is getting to know each student as an individual. I love learning about their unique personalities, interests, strengths, and learning styles and finding ways to connect with each child. I believe every child learns and grows in their own way, and I enjoy creating meaningful experiences that help them feel confident, supported, and excited to learn.

Hello, my name is Danielle Belnavis, but I go by Ms. Bella! I was born in Florida and raised in Jamaica until I was 16 years old. I then moved to Georgia, where I attended Union Grove High School and graduated on the Principal’s Honor Roll. I went on to attend Georgia State University, where I studied Early Childhood Education.

I am a proud mom to my daughter, Reign, who is my everything! We love spending time together and especially enjoy our daily lunch dates. Outside of Primrose, some of my favorite things include eating Jamaican food, playing volleyball, writing and enjoying poetry, and listening to music.

I have several years of experience working in childcare, but my time at Primrose has been my favorite experience so far. I love that the Primrose Balanced Learning® curriculum supports the whole child, helping children grow academically while also developing socially and emotionally.

I believe children learn best when they are given opportunities to explore, ask questions, make choices, and discover things in their own way. I strive to create a classroom that is fun, welcoming, and filled with opportunities for hands-on learning. I love watching my students become confident learners as they explore their environment, discover new interests, and develop skills at their own pace.

I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with each child and family and to be part of their Primrose journey!

Hi, I’m Ms. Kayla, and I am the Preschool 2 Assistant Teacher!

I was born in Beaumont, Texas, and grew up in the church with my five siblings. Some of my favorite childhood memories are the many moments we spent together with our grandparents. I attended Summer Creek High School and graduated in 2024. I then continued my education at Texas State University, where I am studying nursing.

Outside of Primrose, I love watching comedic and scary movies and shows, as well as documentaries. I also love to read, especially book series. If the summary catches my attention, there’s a good chance I’ll be reading it!

Working with Preschool students has shown me that children are eager to learn when they are given the opportunity to explore and discover things for themselves. I love watching their personalities shine as they learn new skills, ask questions, and make connections with the world around them. I especially enjoy sharing my love of reading with my students. During OG Story Time, we begin building early reading comprehension skills while making books fun and engaging. One of my favorite parts is changing my voice to match the different characters in the stories—it makes reading exciting and helps bring the books to life!

I’m excited to continue learning and growing alongside my students and creating a classroom where they feel encouraged to explore, learn, and have fun!

Hello, I’m Ms. Dolores, and I’m so excited to be joining the wonderful Primrose family!

With years of experience preparing meals, I truly enjoy creating food that helps support growing minds and healthy bodies. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, and I take pride in preparing meals that are not only nutritious, but also enjoyable for our students.

Primrose is especially meaningful to me because 3 of my grandbabies have been attending Primrose School at Balmoral for several years. It makes me so happy to be part of their everyday lives and to now have the opportunity to help care for their Primrose friends too. One of my favorite parts of my role is getting to “feed all of their friends’ bellies” with delicious and nutritious meals each day!

I believe mealtime is about more than just food, it’s an opportunity to create a welcoming environment, encourage healthy habits, and help children develop positive relationships with food. I look forward to bringing my love of cooking to Primrose and making mealtimes a special part of each child’s day.
