Welcome to Primrose Schools!
I am the proud owner of Primrose School of Smyrna!
When my children were younger, I was always concerned about the quality of their education. I knew the importance of a great learning environment and the impact it would have on their lives then and in the future. I invested whatever I could to make this happen. This quest to provide high-quality early education and care to young children became my passion, which fueled my choice to own a Primrose school.
I spent many years volunteering at my church to care for children ages 0-5. I have a bachelor’s degree in interior design at Watkins College of Art, Design and Film and decided to pursue a master’s in early childhood development administration at Walden University to gain a better understanding of early childhood education. My master’s program was instrumental in opening my mind to better understand the role of early childhood education in the lives of children and their families. I have been married for 35 years, and I have 5 children and 1 grandson. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, singing at my church choir, designing interiors and sewing. I believe every child has a gift and I love to see them flourish and develop. My passion is to provide the right environment to nurture these gifts.
At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families.
I am excited to meet you and your family!
