Mrs. Emily Connell serves as the Executive Director at Primrose School of Plano at Headquarters, bringing extensive experience in leading high-quality private preschools. Before joining the Plano campus, she successfully directed the Primrose School of Wellington for over four years.

Mrs. Connell earned her degree from the University of Louisville and relocated to the Plano, TX area to be closer to family while continuing her mission of positively impacting the lives of young children. She is a proud mother of two—one in middle school and one in elementary school.

Now a resident of The Colony, TX, Mrs. Connell is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for every child at Primrose School of Plano at Headquarters. She is honored to lead a school that prioritizes health, safety, early learning, and strong family partnerships.

Mrs. West joined Primrose School of Plano at Headquarters as the Curriculum Director in September 2021, bringing over 15 years of early childhood education experience.

Throughout her career, Mrs. West has progressed from Assistant Teacher to Lead and Master Teacher at private preschools across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and in California. Most recently, she served as the Director at a childcare center in Brentwood, California.

Passionate about early learning, Mrs. West is inspired by the “lightbulb moments” when young children make new discoveries or master new skills. As the Curriculum Director, her goal is to create a fun, engaging classroom environment where children experience daily growth, hands-on learning, and joyful achievement through the Primrose Balanced Learning® approach.

Mrs. Perez is thrilled to be part of the Primrose School of Plano at Headquarters, where she contributes to creating a warm, nurturing, and engaging early childhood education environment for every child.
