Erin Allen – Executive Director & Co-Owner, Primrose School of Bedford

My name is Erin Allen, and I proudly serve as the Executive Director and Co-Owner of the Primrose School of Bedford, where my journey began in June 2000. As a young mother passionate about early childhood education, I discovered Primrose as the ideal place for both my son and my career to thrive.

I began as an assistant teacher in the Preschool classroom and, over the years, gained hands-on experience in nearly every classroom, including serving as Kitchen Manager. My dedication and love for children led me to join the Leadership Team, ultimately growing into my current role as Executive Director.

With over two decades of experience at Primrose, I’ve developed a deep commitment to nurturing strong relationships with families, students, and staff. I believe in creating a warm, welcoming, and safe environment—one that feels like home the moment you walk through our doors.

Originally from California, my husband Kevin and I made Texas our home and have loved raising our family here. Our three children—Cody, Taylor, and Austin—each attended Primrose from Infants through the Explorers program, giving me a strong personal connection to the Primrose experience. Outside of school, we enjoy traveling, cooking, bowling, and, most of all, spending quality time together as a family.

At Primrose School of Bedford, I’m honored to lead a team that is dedicated to delivering high-quality early education and care, and I look forward to welcoming you to our Primrose family.

“My name is Erin Allen and I’m the Executive Director and Co-Owner of the Primrose School of Bedford.  My journey at Primrose School of Bedford began in June of 2000.  As a young mom with a love for children and desire to obtain a position in the early childhood education field, I found myself at Primrose.  It was the perfect fit for my son and myself.  I started out as an assistant teacher in the Preschool classroom then over the next several years I worked in nearly every classroom and was even the Kitchen Manager.  Eventually I joined the Leadership team and worked my way up to my current position.

My passion for working with children and building relationships with families and staff members has grown tremendously during my time at Primrose.  I love meeting new families and staff members.  Being that place where children, families and staff members feel safe, warm and welcome, is incredibly important to me.  When you walk through our front door, you should immediately feel “at home.”

My husband and I, Kevin Allen, are originally from California and while we do miss the beautiful state of California, we love living in Texas.  We have three children, Cody, Taylor, and Austin, who all attended Primrose from Infants through Explorers.  In our spare time we enjoy traveling, cooking, bowling, and most importantly, spending time with our family.”

Our family would love to meet yours.
