Meet Mandy Owner

Mandy has proudly led The Goddard School since opening its doors in 2002, bringing both her business expertise and her deep commitment to early childhood education to every corner of the school. With a Bachelor of Science in Business and decades of experience supporting families, she is passionate about creating a nurturing, high-quality learning environment where children thrive. Her husband, Dan, shared in this mission as the owner of The Goddard School in Parker from 2007 to 2018. Together, they raised their sons in the Ken-Caryl community and are now celebrating 30 years in Colorado — a milestone that reflects their love for the state they chose when their boys were just beginning elementary school. Outside of work, Mandy enjoys quiet moments with a good book, the creative rhythm of quilting, and the joy of being an active part of her four grandchildren’s lives.
