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
