Directors My name is Amy E. and I am the Director here at The Goddard School located in Malvern, PA.  I am a graduate of Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.  I have been a member of the Goddard family since 2006.  Prior to becoming the Co- Director, I was Co-Lead Teacher in the Ringmaster and Lion Tamer classroom. I have been working with children of all ages for many years.  I truly became interested in teaching when I was working at a residential summer camp. Camp Tockwogh was, and is, my "home away from home."  I started there as a camper at nine years old and remained until I was an administrative staff member.  I love to go back and visit and catch up with staff members who live all over the world.  They have given me the opportunity to visit them as close as Philadelphia, to San Francisco and all the way to Sydney, Australia.  The bonds I formed with both staff and children helped me to find teaching.  I am excited about my new role as the Co-Director and am enjoying all the new experiences it has to offer!  I look forward to seeing where each day leads with your children!
