Meet Naomi Owner

Hi! I am the owner of The Goddard School in Arvada. I have been part of this Goddard Family since 2011. Over the years I held various roles including Classroom Teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, Director, and Executive Director. My passion has always been to work with young children. I received my BA in Liberal Studies, focusing on Education and Ethnic Studies, from the University of California, Riverside and my Director’s Certificate from Front Range Community College. I most recently completed a Masters’ Certificate as part of the Buell Early Childhood Leadership Program at CU Denver and am currently working towards completing my masters in Early Childhood Education. I value education and have learned a lot, but what has always stood out is the importance of cultivating community, which is at the heart of what we do.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

The staff and teachers at The Goddard School of Arvada are a shining example of what childcare in this country could be. Whenever I walk into the building I am greeted as if I was a family member, and I know the same holds true for both my wife, and most importantly, our son.
