Franchise Owners
Mehul and Priya Lalloobhai
Hello, we are Mehul and Priya Lalloobhai, proud owners of the Primrose School of Parkwood Hill and the Primrose School of Firewheel. We consider it a privilege to serve the families in our communities by providing exceptional early education and care in a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment where children are truly loved, learning, and thriving every day.
Mehul grew up in the DFW area and earned his MBA from Southern Methodist University. Following a successful career as an IT consultant, he now dedicates his time to leading and supporting our Primrose schools. Priya grew up in London, England, and graduated from Aston University with a degree in Human Resources Management. Before becoming a school owner, she spent more than six years as a lead teacher at a Primrose school, where she developed a deep passion for early childhood education and building meaningful relationships with children and families.
As parents to two children, Shaan and Annika, both of whom attended Primrose schools, we understand firsthand the importance of finding a school that families can trust with their child’s care, education, and development. Our own family’s experience with Primrose inspired us to become franchise owners so we could help provide that same strong foundation to other children and families.
As hands-on owners, we are actively involved in our schools and work closely with our leadership teams to ensure every child receives the highest quality educational experience and care. We believe exceptional early childhood education is built on strong relationships, dedicated teachers, and meaningful partnerships with families. Together with our leadership teams, we are committed to creating a warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
At Primrose, we believe childhood is a precious time that lays the foundation for lifelong success. Our mission is to create a place where every child feels known, valued, and loved while developing the confidence, character, and skills needed for future learning. We are proud to partner with families during these important early years and are committed to helping each child grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our schools. We look forward to welcoming your family and partnering with you to build a strong foundation for your child’s future.
Warmly,
Mehul and Priya Lalloobhai

We’re more than just a school; we’re a place where every child’s curiosity is celebrated and every milestone is cherished. Welcome to a place where children thrive and learning comes to life!
Og’s Story Time: Reading with Heart
During Og’s Story Time, our young learners explore big ideas through the joy of reading. In this moment, one of our dedicated educators shares a story about the Lunar New Year, using Og® the Bookworm—one of our beloved Primrose Friends—to help children connect with the values of compassion, curiosity, and inclusivity. Through stories like these, we nurture kind hearts, open minds, and a love for diverse cultures in every child.
25 Years of Heart, Vision, and Unforgettable Impact
In 2024, we joyfully celebrated a truly remarkable milestone—Mrs. Candice Shedlock’s 25th anniversary as Executive Director of our campus. For a quarter of a century, Mrs. Shedlock has poured her heart, wisdom, and unwavering dedication into every corner of our school. Her visionary leadership and deep love for children, families, and staff have helped create the vibrant, nurturing, and inspiring environment we cherish today. Parkwood Hill simply wouldn’t be the same without her!
Growing Minds in the Primrose Patch
Our Venture Program students are digging into discovery—literally! Through hands-on experiences in our Primrose Patch, children plant, explore, and learn about conservation in a meaningful way. It’s learning that goes beyond the classroom, nurturing a deep appreciation for nature, responsibility, and the power of caring for our world—one seed at a time.
Primrose Goes Pink for a Purpose
Every October, our Primrose family proudly wore pink to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month—and to celebrate our very own survivor, Mrs. Candice Shedlock. At Primrose, compassion isn’t just a concept—it’s a way of life. Whether we’re supporting a national cause or lifting up one of our own, we believe in making a difference, big or small, through kindness, unity, and heart.
Big Learning in Small Groups
Our Wonder Program students thrive in small group settings where curiosity leads the way! At Primrose, we use our Balanced Learning® approach to spark exploration and growth through hands-on, child-led activities—always supported by the gentle guidance of our skilled teachers. These moments of discovery build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Sensory Play Meets Scientific Discovery
Our students dove into exciting science and sensory-rich activities, where learning feels just like play! From squishy textures to bubbling reactions, these hands-on experiences ignite curiosity, boost critical thinking, and support early brain development—all while having a blast. At Primrose, every sense is a pathway to learning!

Children's Choice Learning Centers: Empowering Independent Exploration
During Children’s Choice Learning Centers, our students are empowered to explore and learn independently, making choices that align with their interests and curiosity.

Built into each day, Choice Learning Time also allows teachers to provide personalized guidance and enrichment activities, ensuring every child’s learning journey is both supported and individualized. It’s a space where children take ownership of their learning and thrive at their own pace.

Together, we are shaping a brighter future, one act of kindness at a time.
Celebrating Cultures, Creating Belonging
