Hello, my name is Stephanie Alvarez, and I am honored to serve as the School Director at Primrose School at Alamo Ranch! Born and raised in San Antonio, I am a proud mother of three grown children and a loving grandmother to two beautiful granddaughters.

With over 25 years of experience in Early Childhood Education, my passion for working with children began in high school when I volunteered at a local elementary school. From the moment I stepped into the classroom, I knew this was where I belonged. There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing the joy on a child’s face when they master a new skill and knowing I played a role in their learning journey.

Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure of teaching every age group from toddlers to kindergarteners and have been mentored by incredible educators and leaders. My journey led me from classroom teaching to administrative roles, where I grew into the positions of Administrative Assistant, Assistant Director, and now School Director.

I am thrilled to bring my passion, experience, and leadership back to Primrose School at Alamo Ranch. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with our staff and families, fostering a nurturing learning environment, and watching your children grow and thrive.

I can’t wait to meet you soon!

We are thrilled to introduce Ms. Lopez as our Assistant Director at Primrose School at Alamo Ranch! She joins us from our Huebner Village location, where she began her Primrose journey as an Assistant Toddler Teacher. Her dedication and passion for early childhood education quickly led her to become the Lead Teacher in Early Preschool and later an Administrative Assistant before transitioning into her leadership role here at Alamo Ranch.

Beyond her experience in early education, Ms. Lopez has a heart for service. Her background includes missionary work in England and full-time ministry in Dallas, shaping her commitment to guiding and uplifting those around her. In 2020, she returned to San Antonio to be closer to her loved ones and joined the Primrose family, where she continues to make a meaningful impact.

In her free time, Ms. Lopez is deeply involved in student ministry at her church and cherishes every moment spent with her family. She is excited to support our teachers, connect with families, and help create a warm, nurturing environment for our students.

Be sure to say hello when you see her around the school—she looks forward to getting to know you!

Mrs. Felix is so fun to work with! Before Primrose she had not cooked in a childcare setting before — but loved to create recipes and kids! She has found a good place to combine the two! Her favorite thing to do is dance with the kids for a moment when she delivers the food; they certainly look forward to it! The children always enjoy her meals and she makes every effort to ensure that special requirements are followed. If a new recipe is created she will be sure to have everyone try it, including our Leadership Team and Teachers!
