Meet Zoe Onsite Owner

My name is Zoe Biermann and I have been with Goddard my entire life. I started as an infant at another St. Louis location, grew up in Goddard and have worked to get where I am today. I graduated with a BSBA dual degree in International Business and with a minor in Spanish from the University of Missouri. I also graduated with a Master's of Business Administration (MBA) from Maryville University. Personal Quote: "I chose to work in education because I love helping kids find things they love to do and use those interests to find their way in the world."

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

I'm very pleased with my experience at Goddard this summer. When your child cries when you pick her up because she wants to stay - as a parent that gives you great relief and comfort that she is in the right place. Thank you to everyone who kept Sarah safe and happy this summer.

Sarah's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Our daughter has absolutely flourished at Goddard! She has found independence and confidence in herself, she is a sponge soaking up all the early reading skills her teachers are instilling, and she has made beautiful friendships! Our little girl who would cry every day and stand by her teacher on the playground is now our big girl who runs to play with her friends, is excited to go to school, and tells us all about her day when she gets home! THANK YOU!!

Nora's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

The school has great values and teachers that care. You can clearly tell the work is put in to making sure each child is getting the care they need and experiences they need to learn and grow.

Mason & Grayson's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Every child is learning in different ways. We have had a great experience with Goddard Manchester. Hope (the front office Director) always listens to our concerns about our sons and she works with the teachers to make their learning experience the best. We are very happy!

Lincoln & Harrison's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Miss Morgan, Miss Lydia, and Miss Jennifer take such wonderful care of Eira! I know that even if she's crying at drop off that she's going to have a great day. And recently, she has stopped crying and runs into their arms. I'm very thankful to have them as her teachers! Also, Miss Jayla and Miss Erin do a fantastic job with Autumn as well!

Eira & Autumn's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Marla is a fantastic owner who truly cares about the safety and development of each child. We have been incredibly impressed with the entire school. Everyone from the staff working the front to the staff in the classrooms have been fantastic.
