Meet Ryan and Catherine On-Site Owners

As parents of three young kids, we know just how important curiosity, creativity, and play are in those early years. That’s why we’re so proud to be part of The Goddard School—where kids can learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, caring environment that feels like a second home. When we’re not at school, you’ll probably find us at the ice rink—either cheering from the sidelines or helping coach our little hockey players. We love being outside as a family, whether it’s hiking, biking, hitting the beach, or just exploring somewhere new. Travel is a big part of our lives, and we’re always up for an adventure! We’re so excited to welcome you to our Goddard family and can’t wait to be a part of your child’s journey!
