Meet Molly

Meet Molly Director

Ms. Molly holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Ohio University. She began her journey with The Goddard School in 2007 and has been a dedicated member of the Goddard family ever since. She has also earned a National Director Credential through the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership, reflecting her commitment to excellence in early childhood education and leadership. Ms. Molly is passionate about fostering curiosity and creativity in her students, helping each child discover the joy of learning through exploration and play. Her favorite children’s book is “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” because, as she says, “it perfectly captures the endless curiosity of children — when you give them one thing, they’ll always find something else to explore and learn about!”
