Hi Prestonwood Families,

Hi, my name is Bela Desai, and I am thrilled to lead such amazing schools as the Franchise Owner-Operating Partner for the Rigley Primrose Schools. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead such a strong and nurturing team! I am committed to continue to represent Primrose in Dr. Rigley’s distinguished brand.

I am originally from Kansas City. I moved to the Lone Star state for my college education in Nursing. While in college, my journey in teaching began with Primrose Schools in 2009. Primrose helped me realize my true passion, Early Childhood Education! I was motivated to pursue my degree in the field of education. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Health Studies in Child Development and my Master’s in Education in Educational Leadership. I am certified in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. I have also received my Texas Training Registry to conduct faculty trainings in the state of Texas.

In 2018 I made a career change. I joined a childcare corporate company for a year and half. I served as a Consultant and Mentor for over 50 Franchisee’s and Directors guiding best practices to provide high-quality early childhood education. It was during this time I came to the realization that my heart was with Primrose.

I joined the Rigley Primrose team as the Director of Education in 2020 with over 15 years of Primrose experience in order to learn Dr. Rigley’s Primrose philosophies and policies.

I am proud to share Dr. Rigley’s passion to provide the best in Early Education within a nurturing and positive learning environment and committed to guiding the best practices of Primrose in order to provide high-quality early childhood education for all those I guide and inspire.

I cannot wait to get to know each one of you!

Bela Desai

Franchise Owner-Operating Partner

Hello, my name is Ana Bravo and I am the Executive Director at Primrose School of Prestonwood. I graduated from the International Business Academy at Newman Smith High School and received my Child Development Associate degree in 2022.

I am a wife and mother to a beautiful daughter and a wonderful son! I have more than seven years of experience in early childcare education. I absolutely love working with children because I get to watch them grow and see them blossom into amazing little humans. The weekends are when I can spend time with my family, and we love spending time outdoors watching baseball games or just relaxing at home.

I am so excited to be a part of the Rigley’s Primrose Schools. Children and their growth and development are my passion and I look forward to creating a positive learning environment for not only them but for our amazing teachers as well. I can’t wait to learn more about you and your family!

Hi Prestonwood Families!

I am Mrs. Sheila and I am the Director of Education at Primrose School of Prestonwood. With over a decade of experience in Early Childhood Education, I bring a deep commitment to innovative learning, student success and educator support. I received my Child Development Associates Degree in August 2025.

Outside of work, I am a newlywed and married my high school sweetheart, Daniel, in March 2025.  We honeymooned in South Korea and enjoyed learning about the culture there.  I am also a momma to two precious rescue dogs, Honey & Diesel, that keep me on my toes and ensure that there is never a dull moment at home!  I also enjoy gardening, thrifting, antique shopping and spending quality time with my family.

I love watching children’s minds evolve and I am blessed to have an impact on shaping young lives.  I have a passion for lifelong learning, and I am dedicated to building relationships that inspire both students and educators to thrive.

I am so excited to be part of the Rigley’s Primrose schools and I can’t wait to meet all of you!!
