Teachers & Staff
Dalia De Los Santos
I want to take a moment to introduce myself and welcome you to Primrose School of Prestmont!
My name is Dalia De Los Santos, and I am the Campus Director. I was born and raised in Denton, Texas, but I have called Frisco home for more than five years. My amazing husband, Julian, and I have two wonderful children, Londyn (5) and Xavier (4). Londyn is headed to first grade, and Xavier will be joining our Pre-K class this year! I feel incredibly blessed to work at the same school my children have attended.
I have always loved working with children and am passionate about creating a school where every child feels safe, loved, and excited to learn. As both a director and parent, I understand how much trust it takes to place your child in someone else’s care. I want every family to feel confident knowing their child is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention we would want for our own children.
I believe strong relationships and open communication are at the heart of a successful school. My goal is to lead with kindness, consistency, and integrity while working closely with our leadership team and teachers to provide the highest-quality care and education for every child.
In my free time, I enjoy serving at my church, shopping, reading, listening to music, and watching sports (Go Cowboys, Mavs, Longhorns, FC Dallas, and Rangers!). Most importantly, I love spending time with my family and friends. We enjoy trying new restaurants, going to the movies, visiting amusement parks, and finding new activities to experience together!
It is truly an honor to lead the Prestmont team. Please know my door is always open, and I am here to support you in any way I can. I look forward to getting to know your family and having a wonderful school year together!

Franchise Owners
Nimmi and Krish Anand
Welcome to Primrose School of Prestmont! We are Nimmi and Krish, and we are proud to bring high-quality preschool and child care to young children and families in the Frisco, Texas and greater Dallas community.
Our journey with Primrose Schools® started with a simple question that many parents and grandparents ask: where can a child truly grow and thrive? As lifelong learners and grandparents ourselves, we wanted more than academic readiness — we wanted a place that would nurture curiosity, build confidence and shape character. We found that in Primrose, and we couldn’t wait to bring that same early learning and care experience to Frisco families.
As the on-site owner, Nimmi brings over 20 years of corporate leadership in program management, risk and quality assurance. She channels that experience into ensuring Primrose School of Prestmont runs with the consistency, safety and intentionality every family deserves. Co-owner Krish also brings a background in technology automation, business strategy and finance — all in service of creating a school where operations are seamless, so teachers can focus on what matters most: your children. Together, we’re working to create a school environment where every child is cherished, every teacher is empowered and every family belongs.
At Primrose, we believe who a child becomes is just 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.
We are excited to meet you and your family!
