Primrose teacher since: 2000
My name is Emily Lawless. I graduated from Marcus High School here in Flower Mound in 1998. I then attended Texas Tech University, graduating in 2002 with a degree in Public Relation and Marketing. After graduating, I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico and worked in Sales and Marketing for 5 years. My daughter Jamison was born in 2007. I was a stay-at-home mother to her for 3 ½ years. During this time I obtained my Instructor Certification, and began teaching Dance Aerobics (JAZZERCISE!!) In 2010 I moved back to Texas and began pursuing a career in Early Childhood Education. I started working for Primrose School of Old Orchard in January 2011 in the Senior Explorers classroom. I then taught 1 year in Pre-K, and 1 year in Kindergarten. In June 2013 I joined the leadership team and love it whole-heartedly! In May 2018, I joined the leadership team at Primrose School of NE Flower Mound. I am responsible for marketing and communications at both campuses. When I’m not at Primrose, I enjoy spending time with my husband Michael, and all of our family! I am passionate about nutrition and love cooking, music, and college football…GO RED RAIDERS!!

I have been happily married since 2009 and I have a beautiful daughter named Ashley. She is working hard to become a veterinarian one day. At Primrose I think it’s very important to introduce Spanish at an early age and I think it’s important to do this daily. I like to think of my students as sponges and this is the age where they’re excited to soak up new information. This will help them tremendously when they start elementary school leading into middle school and high school.

Experienced. Determined. Family-Oriented… Meet Sheldon & Shelley Connell.
Sheldon and I both grew up on the east coast in New York and Maryland respectively. I obtained my master’s and doctoral degrees in education and science. My passions have led me to enjoy the positions of laboratory scientist, classroom teacher, entrepreneur, program coordinator and book author. Sheldon earned undergraduate and graduate level degrees in business, utilizing his skills at Verizon for almost three decades in a number of executive positions, each with increasing responsibilities. His career path has given our family opportunities to experience life in different parts of the east coast and mid-west, before we landed in Texas for the second time in 2014 [this time for good :-)]. We have settled our family in Flower Mound, where we have gladly taken to the Texas sunshine with our two young children - Jordynn and Sheldon, (SJ).
Our Primrose journey began during our first stay in Texas. We toured several preschools soon after we arrived and enrolled Jordynn in a preschool we thought would be a good fit. But, we were wrong. She was so unhappy. We “got it right” a few weeks later, after we toured a local Primrose. Jordynn was very happy and content day after day [and so were we]. I quickly became enthralled with the balanced learning curriculum, and enjoyed the partnership with Jordynn’s teachers, identifying areas where she excelled and areas where she was challenged. As parents, Sheldon and I felt better equipped to bridge the school-home gap with the resources Primrose gave us.
Our greatest joys are our children, Jordynn Lynn [Jordy] and Sheldon Orson, II [SJ]. Jordy, is a collegiate diver at a D1 University on the East Coast. She loves to make delicious smoothies, spend quality time with her friends, and "be a scholar" - as she says. Our son, SJ, LOVES playing soccer! He also enjoys swimming, playing with family and friends, travelling, and spending time with our family.
As a family, we serve in our community, and in our church. We are avid moviegoers and dedicated Mouseketeers in our leisure time.
We’ve researched the Primrose school model extensively and believe in the philosophy, core values and structure it stands upon. We are determined to make a positive impact on our students, our staff, our Primrose Parents, and our community. As owners of Primrose of NE Flower Mound (and our sister school - Primrose School of Old Orchard), we are so delighted to grow our family with yours, as we link arms with you.
Thank you for taking the Primrose journey with us.
