Prince of Peace Preschool Staff

Diana Schultz, Preschool Director – Diana@poplargo.org

Diana Schultz is our Prince of Peace Preschool Director. She is a fourth generation Floridian, having grown up here in the Seminole/Largo area. She began her career in the early childhood education field as a two-year-old teacher and moved up to teach VPK. She then became an assistant director and learned everything she could in that position for the last few years! On top of being a full-time Director, wife, and mom of 4, she is also a full-time student at St. Petersburg College. Ms. Diana finds joy as she encourages the growth of our children in a creative environment while focusing on literacy along the way! She envisions this learning experience taking place on a foundation of faith, as she grew up in a faith-based school as well. Ms. Diana loves not only working with the students in her care but truly enjoys creating a relationship with the families of the children. She strives to make sure children, families, and teaching staff are all working as a cohesive unit to ensure the children at POP Preschool are reaching the goals set out for them!
