Owner: Nancy Goss -
I am excited to be a part of the Goddard family. I love being with kids all day, so when the opportunity to run my own business came along, I took it. Prior to joining Goddard I was a Pediatric Nurse for nine years. I am an experienced manager and enjoy working with our talented faculty. I am married to a wonderful man and I have three beautiful daughters and one son, who get to see their mommy every day at work.

...becoming a teacher is what I have always wanted to do. After completing a Bachelor's degree program I feel I have the technical knowledge a teacher needs to successfully run a classroom and the background knowledge of best practices to ensure each child reaches his/her full potential. More importantly, I have the ingrained qualities that one can't learn exactly; love of children, patience, the desire and ability to continually evolve for the better, and a need to see others achieve at their highest potential.
