Hello, my name is Danielle Nash. I was born in Memphis, Tennessee. I moved to Atlanta in 1993. I have an older sister and two younger sisters. I chose to work at a Primrose Smyrna West because of its excellent curriculum and nurturing environment. I have been a member of the PSSW since 2012. I taught in the Early Preschool rooms before accepting a position within the PSSW leadership team. Now, you can visit me at the front office and catch me helping in the classrooms throughout the building. My son, Christian, is also a happy Primrose student!

I  have been a part of Primrose Schools since 2012. After spending 17 years teaching preschool and pre-k, I am excited to expand my role at Primrose School of Smyrna West.

When I’m not here at PSSW, I’m at home being a mom to my handsome son. I enjoy watching musicals and 90’s movies. I am committed to providing your family with a loving and developmentally sound foundation for a lifetime of learning. Thank you for sharing your precious children with us!!

I am a wonderful mother of 2 boys ages 9 and 4. I love being creative and trying different and new things. I am very loving and caring. Silly is my middle name. I love to be/act funny around the kids because they love it! I love taking walks on different trails and spending as much time with my handsome boys as I can.
