Ms. Nicole
2008 Years of Experience
Ms. Nicole
Executive Director
Hello, my name is Nicole Farris, and I am truly excited to be joining Primrose School of Hickory Creek as the Executive Director.
I bring over 20 years of experience in early childhood education. This field is more than a career for me, it is truly my passion and purpose. I began my journey as a teenager working in my family’s childcare center, and from that moment on, I knew this was the path I was meant to follow. Since then, I have dedicated my career to supporting children, families, and educators while creating environments where everyone feels valued and supported.
Throughout my career, I have spent six years working within the Primrose organization, supporting multiple schools primarily in operations, health, and safety. That experience has allowed me to grow as a leader while also reinforcing what I value most, building strong relationships and being present in a school community each day.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, along with an MBA and a Master’s in Leadership. These experiences have shaped not only how I support children, but how I lead teams and build meaningful, lasting programs. I am originally from East Texas and am a proud mom of two, one currently in college pursuing a career as a respiratory therapist, and the other just beginning her journey into elementary school. Being both a parent and an educator gives me a unique perspective, and it truly drives my commitment to creating a school where every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated.
I am truly looking forward to getting to know each of you and building a strong, connected school community together.

Ms. Kaasandra
HR Manager

Hi, I’m Kaasandra, but most families and friends know me as Ms. Kaas! I’ve been in early childhood education for over four years, with the last three years spent growing with Primrose Schools. For the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to serve in leadership, which has truly helped shape my passion for supporting both children and the incredible teachers who care for them each day.

As the HR Director, my heart is creating a space where our team feels supported, valued, and set up for success. I have a strong love for organization and structure, but what matters most to me is caring for people, making sure both our teachers and children feel seen, heard, and truly cared for.
Outside of school, I’m a proud mom of three two boys and one sweet girl. My youngest is part of our school family and will soon be stepping into the toddler world, which makes this place even more special to me.

I’m so grateful to be part of a community where I can pour into others every day, and I look forward to building meaningful connections with each of you.

Chef

Hi, i’m Matthew Moreland. I started working at Primrose School of Hickory Creek in 2019 as the Explorers Teacher, in 2021 I left to pursue my career in the culinary world and found myself working at a nice hotel in Southlake. I worked there for 4 1/12 years, working my way up to the Banquet Sous Chef role. and after moving back up to Corinth in Novemeber of last year I was looking for something closer to home, and when I saw that Primrose was looking for a new Chef i thought it was perfect! I loved my time here in 2019-2021 and now to be able to combine that with the culinary world I also love seemed like a dream. I look forward to crafting healthy menus that the children, parents, and staff all love, and I look forward to being a part of the Primrose Family again!

Richie Ralhan and Andy Bhatnagar

Welcome to Primrose School of Hickory Creek! We are proud to bring high-quality preschool and child care to young children and families in the Hickory Creek, Texas community. We have been residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth area for several years and have three amazing sons. Our eldest son is a student at the University of California, Berkeley and two are school-aged students. Our Primrose journey started when our eldest son was enrolled in a Primrose school in Charlotte, NC. We loved the relationship we built with the school’s teachers, families and the self-confidence and new skills he quickly developed. We both come from the corporate world, where we lead successful IT businesses. As two dedicated working parents, we understand how important it is to provide quality care and education. At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing experience for children and their families. Our dynamic team has the perfect skills to ensure we deliver the unparalleled Primrose experience everyday where we believe that every child represents the promise of a better tomorrow. We would like to make our school an extension of your family and work together to create the best environment for them. We are excited to meet you and your family!

Our family would love to meet yours.
