Hello! I am Amanda Swilley, I was born and raised in Waller, Texas. I am the older sister of two. I graduated from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas with a business degree. Here, my main focus is to assist you with everything from enrollment paperwork and record updates to daily communication regarding your child’s experience. I am always happy to greet you at the front desk and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

In my free time, I cherish weekends with my family, enjoy the outdoors and love dining at our favorite Mexican restaurant. If I were to choose a Primrose friend that represents me, it would definitely be our sweet spotted cow, Molly. I believe in the value of mutual respect: “Respect others, and others will respect you.” It’s a principle I grew up with and now pass on to my own children.

Working with children is where my heart is, and I strive to make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Hi friends! My name is Meagan Macareno and I began my career at Primrose as an Early Preschool assistant teacher and have since grown into my current role as the Wonder Program Education Coach. Along the way, I’ve earned the nickname “Wonder Woman” from my colleagues- a title that reflects my dedication to supporting both students and teachers.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending meaningful time with my husband and daughter. My favorite Primrose friend is Molly, as she represents respect for others- a value I deeply admire and strive to model in both personal and professional settings.

If I were to create a children’s book, it would be titled “The Kindness Key”- a story that highlights how empathy and respect can open the door to lifelong friendships and learning.

I chose a career in education because I’m passionate about helping children grow and thrive. Equally fulfilling is the opportunity to support and mentor fellow educators as they grow in their own teaching journeys.
