Miss Randy & Mr. Jim - Owners -
We are the owners of The Goddard School® located in Twinsburg, Ohio. We were both born and raised in Minnesota, as were our three children. We have also lived in Illinois and California but our children spent most of their "growing-up" years in California. Job relocation brought us to Ohio and we have been here since 1992. I worked as an Executive Assistant in a family office for ten and a half years prior to opening this School. Before that I worked for the school district in California for eight years. Jim had almost a 30 year career with American Greetings before he left to join me at the school. We look forward to getting to know all of the parents and children on a first name basis.
