Congratulations on 29 years! Laura has been the on-site Owner of The Goddard School in Piscataway since June 2015, following more than 15 years of dedicated service as the School’s Director.

With a degree in Psychology and Sociology from Rutgers University and additional work in Early Childhood Education from Kean University, Laura brings both heart and expertise to everything she does. She is an active member of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and its New Jersey affiliate, NJAEYC—organizations that reflect her commitment to the field.
