Meet Toni Executive Director

Hello! I am Toni, our school's On Site Executive Director. My education background is in Organizational Psychology with a minor in child psychology. I came to Goddard with 18 years of management experience of which 14 years were in early education as Director and Regional Director. I had the wonderful opportunity to work for Goddard Corporate Quality Assurance team and from that opportunity I fell in love with the Goddard standards and commitment to quality early education. I have 3 children of my own,(and 3 bonus kiddo's). I am passionate about providing quality early childhood education and when I am not at work I enjoy boating on the river, time with family, sporting events, concerts, and traveling! I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful community! (Joined April 2024).

Toddler Classroom

I love everything about Goddard. I had no idea how great this location was until the first month there. They listen to your directions and my baby isn’t in a swing all day unlike our previous location. Plus she is getting to play with others and is learning constantly. I can’t believe how much she has grown already! I would recommend this place 10/10 times to friends and family.
