Diana and Gregory Palen

We are Diana and Gregory Palen – owners of the Primrose School of Winter Springs. Together, we have been involved in the field of early education since 1987. Diana worked as an early childhood educator while completing her degrees in Early and Elementary Education, as Gregory completed his degree in Data Center Support. Since that time, both of us have been involved in the early education field including planning various school and early education events and fundraisers for children, families and teachers, creating treasured, lifelong relationships. Along the way we added our two daughters to the Palen family who share in our joy in serving the community.

Our Primrose School of Winter Springs story began in 2014. We remember standing on the cleared land just before the foundation of the school was poured. Knowing and believing that this was the start to an amazing path supporting early education, we looked forward to welcoming children and their families to the school as Diana took the role of the School Director.

Fast forward through the years. We are now Grandparents and see first-hand how the enriched environment of the Primrose Curriculum and dedicated teachers foster a lifelong love of learning for all children entrusted into our care.

In 2022, we became the owners of the Primrose School of Winter Springs. As long-term residents of the Winter Springs / Oviedo area, we are honored to continue providing the exclusive Primrose Schools Balanced Learning Curriculum to the community we love. We are committed to delivering for years to come, the high quality, educational experience expected of a Gold Seal Accredited school to children, families, and teachers at the Primrose School of Winter Springs.
