Welcome to The Goddard School! I am proud to be a member of the Goddard family. As a parent of two children, I recognize the importance of providing a quality preschool program in a safe, nurturing and loving environment. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Economics and a Master's degree in Education. I taught infants, toddlers, and preschoolers for several years. As an educator, I can appreciate how Goddard's curriculum develops the whole child, and builds a great foundation that fosters a love for learning. As a mom, I am reminded everyday how precious our little ones are, and that they deserve the best each and every day. I look forward to meeting new families, and providing our children with a positive and enriching preschool experience.
Welcome to The Goddard School! I feel grateful to be able to provide a preschool experience that is educational and nurturing for families. I have a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration, and worked several years in construction management. Becoming a parent had changed my focus and I started my journey into the field of Early Childhood Education. I started as an infant/toddler teacher, and took college courses to earn my Teaching Certification and also my Director Credentials. I enjoyed my years in the classroom but I looked forward to playing a bigger role and making an even bigger difference, which led me to being a co-owner of The Goddard School. As part owner, and a parent of three children who attended this school, I have an open door for parents and teachers. My goal is to help children experience a positive and supportive environment so they develop a strong foundation that starts them on a lifelong journey of knowledge.
