Primrose Faculty Since August 2010

Hi! My name is Amber Rhodes and I am the Regional Director at Primrose School at Balmoral and Primrose School of Atascocita. I have worked with Primrose Schools since August 2013. My experience with Primrose started as an Early Preschool teacher, and throughout my years, I grew a love for teaching more than just children. I am passionate about Early Education and mentoring teachers and leadership members to excel in their education careers. Primrose provides a solid foundation for future educators, and I enjoy being a part of their journeys. Leading and educating fellow employees around me is what I do best.

I have a daughter, Addisyn, who also attended Primrose most of her childhood. Addisyn loves to dance, so I get to spend most of my free time being a Dance Mom and watching her do what she loves most. The rest of my free time is spent eating crawfish and alligator hunting with my family in Louisiana. Geaux Tigers!

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

Primrose Faculty since August 2013

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.

I began my journey with Primrose in 2007 at a Fort Worth location, where I developed a deep passion for early childhood education. In 2017, I stepped away to stay home with my youngest, who was born with a congenital heart defect that required an extended hospital stay. During that time, I obtained my real estate license and, in 2021, relocated to Houston to lead our real estate office.

Now, I’m incredibly thankful to be back at Primrose, this time at Balmoral, and I’m excited to meet all the wonderful families. Building lasting relationships and watching children learn and grow is truly rewarding.

As a proud mom of three, my life outside of work is filled with cheering on my kids at their various sporting events, discovering new restaurants around town, and enjoying quality time at home with my family.

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

Hello! My name is Mrs. Gabby Reyes-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!
