Dacourdra McFarland
Hello, I am Dacourdra McFarland and I have had the privilege of calling Primrose School of Cinco Ranch my second home since the young age of 9. As I ventured into the teaching world, I had the opportunity to educate and inspire young minds at Primrose School of Kelliwood and Primrose School of Cinco Ranch as an Explorers teacher. It was through these experiences that I honed my skills and knowledge, ultimately leading me to my current role as Director.
For the past 7 years, I have proudly served as Assistant Director at Primrose School of North Mason Creek, where I have been an integral part of the leadership team. My dedication and passion for early childhood education have been fueled by my Bachelor’s Degree in Health from Lamar University.
I am excited to continue my journey with Primrose School of Cinco Ranch as the Director, and I am committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to thrive, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my journey at Primrose School of Cinco Ranch.
