Melissa Phillips
School Director

Hello! I’m Melissa, and I am honored to serve as the School Director at Primrose School of Palm Valley. I have been working with children since 1995 and have held a variety of roles throughout my career, including preschool teacher, Assistant Director, Director, and Senior Director.

Over the years, one of the greatest joys of my career has been watching children grow, develop, and discover a lifelong love of learning. It is especially rewarding to see former students grow into the incredible people they become, knowing I had the opportunity to be part of their early educational journey.

Outside of school, I enjoy racing, camping, spending time with my family, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers (Go Packers!).

I look forward to meeting your family and welcoming you to the Primrose School of Palm Valley community!
