My name is Dr. Pratiksha Rigley, and my husband Noel and I are the proud owners of Primrose Schools of Frisco West, (at) Klyde Warren Park, Park Cities, Plano at Preston Meadow, Prestonwood, Temple, and Waco at Woodway. I am eager for you to learn more about our Balanced Learning Approach when you visit our school.
In Zambia, where I grew up, education is a true luxury. At the age of 18, I had the privilege to come to the United States forcollege, which sparked my love for learning. I graduated from pharmacy school at Southwestern Oklahoma State University and began my career as a pharmacist in the retail industry, where I managed up to 34 stores at one time. Through this experience, I became enthralled with the operations side of business and honed my management skills.
Our Primrose journey began when our oldest daughter, Maya, was born. It wasn’t until the birth of our second daughter, Meira, that I decided to combine my experience in operations with my passion for education and open a Primrose Schoolin 2008. Now, twelve years and six schools later, our seventh location will open Temple, Texas in August 2020.
Although Noel and I are involved in every aspect of our schools, from the curriculum implementation to the menu, my highest priority is continually placed on the well-being and growth of my staff and students. Providing superior customer service to our parents is a priority as well. By providing a home away from home for the community we serve, I feel Iam truly living out my own American Dream. We are committed to making a difference in the communities we serve and are actively involved in supporting local foundations and charities.
Noel and I are residents of Plano, Texas, where our daughter, Meira, just graduated from Plano West High School. Meira loveswatching football (she is a diehard Patriots fan), playing golf, and participating in classical Indian dancing. Maya, our older daughter, Maya, just graduated from the University of Texas with a Liberal Arts double major and double minor. Maya also played rugby for the UT women’s rugby team and plans to go to law school. As a family, we enjoy cooking meals that have been passed down from my mother, watching movies, going on walkswith our dog, Roxy, and “traveling with a purpose.” Most recently, Noel and I traveled to Myanmar, where we visited a monastery and various schools. We particularly enjoy visiting schools across the world to gain a deeper understanding of what those school systems are like and offering help when we can.
