Meet Juanita Onsite Owner
I am excited to be the Onsite Owner of The Goddard School Cool Springs! I began at The Goddard School as a Preschool Teacher in January 2010 and was promoted to the Administration Team in 2011. I became the Onsote Owner in 2020.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Belmont University. My experience includes working with children ages infants to five years old children in preschool settings both in the United States and overseas since 2001.
I believe every child and adult has worth and deserves someone in their corner who believes in them completely. My goal is a school where children and teachers can be themselves and learn in a fun environment where the teacher encourages a child's natural curiosity!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
Our family is so grateful for Goddard—the level of comfort we have dropping our son off with the amazing teachers and staff each day is truly invaluable. I tell everyone that it feels like having family take care of your child with the benefit of thoughtful and purposeful curriculum. Our son thrives in the loving and stimulating environment at Goddard.
Goddard has been like family to us! I know my kiddos are well taken care of and if I am needed, they will call. The open door policy is welcome and I have utilized from time to time. My kids have been happy and the learning/enrichment has been wonderful. Thank you to Goddard and the leadership team.
We absolutely love Goddard! My son has learned so much and loves his teachers. They do the coolest and unique activities with the kids.
There are so many teachers that give my son so much love. Dee Dee and Nana Carrie were his infant teachers and he still talks about them 4 years later. Mr. Brian has been the best addition to the people love him. Noah is always asking for Mr. Brian to come to the park with us. I couldn’t be happier for the bond they share.
Our experience at The Goddard School has been exceptional. The teachers are of high caliber, the facility is made for learning and the curriculum they teach has prepared my children for the years to come. We have loved our time here.
We LOVE Goddard! Our son thrives there and we have so much comfort knowing the amazing teachers are taking the absolute best care of him.
Goddard is great. Clark loves coming to school every day and he’s learning so much. The staff are friendly and professional. Nothing but good things to say. Thank you!
Great school, wonderful teachers and next level curriculum. Would recommended!
