Miss Kay (Kavitha) - Owner - Welcome to our School! I'm Kavitha Erathara, also known as Miss Kay! My husband, Sathya, and I have been Goddard parents for 10 years and loved every bit of it. We are very thankful for the peace of mind we had as working parents. That's what motivated us to take our positive experience and build on it for our own school. It is my strong personal philosophy that at the early childhood age, we need to surround children with a warm, nurturing and safe environment and then layer in a lot of learning in a way that makes it very enjoyable for a child. Very simply, our mission here is to offer the absolute best in high quality childcare and education. We hope to bring you the same standards and quality in Early Childhood education and care that we expected for our children. Being an on-site owner, I welcome your comments and concerns and am very available to parents throughout the day. Thank you for the opportunity to share in your child’s growth and early childhood development.

Miss Ginny - Director - Welcome to our Home! I'm Ms. Ginny, the Operations Director of our school. I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education for more than 25 years. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. The very first preschool program I directed was developed in Long Island, New York for my son and eleven other children that were four years of age. That was 34 years ago. I am a committed child advocate and believe every child has inexplicable worth. As we strive to create their foundation in life, we are encouraged by their excitement for each new day. The success of our educational facility will continue to be built upon exceptional curriculum that consistently raises the expectation beyond the norm of early childhood education standards. My faculty’s goals will be to continue to raise the educational concepts of their lessons while directing individualized priorities to the need of each student. My husband and I moved to Georgia in 1983 from New York with our two children. My formula for encouraging early childhood education for the purpose of strong self-esteem and core values has been proven to me by the adult life of my children. We have the good fortune of being grandparents to Riley and Dylan. They continue to open my eyes to all the possibilities life has to offer. I hope my love of children and my commitment to your dreams for your child will secure a sense of well-being and peace each time you leave your child in our care. My door is always open and I look forward to developing lasting relationships with the families, students and faculty. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to partner with you in educating your little one(s).

Having the opportunity to come to work each day and put a smile on a child’s face makes everything worthwhile. Goddard provides an impeccable learning environment for all of the children here.

I use my courses in Early Childhood Education to understand my children better! Their love of learning is infectious and it is truly a joy to learn with them everyday.

Ms. Lani - Unique Unicorns - As a Pre-Kindergarten teacher, it is important for me to challenge the children intellectually and get them ready for elementary education. The transition from early childhood to elementary is a very important period of time. Children master the foundations of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, while continuing to enjoy the wonderful nurturing environment that our Pre-K classroom provides. I love watching them grow and accomplish goals and spread their wings into Elementary! In our Pre-K class, we have fun reading with our Reading for Rewards program. We take home homework folders that we enjoy doing as they are fun activities to do at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your children!

Miss. Nicole - Sprites - It is my philosophy that an effective teacher needs to be an influential part of a child’s life. They need to be an individual that a child can trust and mentor as a positive role model. It is essential for a teacher to put forth extra effort in their profession, going “beyond the call of duty,” so to speak. As a teacher, I put my best effort towards each and every lesson. I show love and compassion, but also fairness. I strive to be an active advocate of making the child’s learning environment as beneficial as possible. As the teacher, I am pleased to tell you your child’s learning environment is a nurturing and positive atmosphere.
