Meet Sally On-Site Owner

Hi, my name is Sally Lo, and I proudly opened a brand-new Goddard School in the community of Worcester. I am an impassioned educator and have been teaching in public schools and colleges for more than 20 years. I hold a M.S. in Information Technology from Clark University and a B.A. in Linguistics. Both of my sons attended a Goddard School when they were young, and my husband and I were always happy and impressed by the high-quality educational programs that the Goddard School provided. I look forward to delivering a wonderful early childhood learning experience to the families in our community!
