Robin Ray, Owner - Hello, my name is Robin Ray and my husband, Ted, and I are the proud owners of The Goddard School® located on Old Atlanta Road in Suwanee. We have been Goddard School owners since 2000. We live in Laurel Springs, directly behind the School, with our twin boys (Both graduates of Goddard). I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Management Information Systems. Before opening our first Goddard School, I worked in Information Technology for 15 years. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing tennis and volleyball. While pregnant with my twins years ago, I recognized the need and demand for a quality alternative to standard daycare. We then decided to open The Goddard School®. Our mission here is to offer the absolute best in high quality childcare and education. Being an on-site owner, I welcome your comments and concerns. Thank you for the opportunity to share in your child’s growth and early childhood development.

Renee Gudermuth, Executive Director - My name is Renee and I am the Executive Director. I graduated from Georgia Southern University majoring in Early Childhood Education. I joined The Goddard School® with several years of experience working with young children. I am the proud mother of three beautiful girls. I have spent my time before joining Goddard working in Education and Training, and as a Director. As Executive Director, I am responsible for all aspects of the School relating to curriculum, education, staffing and child development. It is my belief that quality early childhood education is crucial in helping to build the stepping-stones of a child’s educational experience. I believe that both parents and teachers share a common goal to enrich their child’s educational foundation by providing a myriad of social interactions, new experiences, and a nurturing and loving environment. I feel privileged to share in your child’s experience as they grow and develop at The Goddard School®.
