Meet Vonmarie Owner

As the owner of The Goddard School in Elmwood Park, I feel incredibly grateful to be part of a community that helps children learn, grow, and thrive every day. Before opening the school, I spent many years building my career in the corporate world, but becoming a mother changed my perspective in the most meaningful way. I am a proud mom who understands how important it is to find a place where your children feel safe, loved, encouraged, and inspired. Like every parent, I wanted the very best for my own children, and that passion naturally grew into wanting to provide the same experience for other families. Creating a warm, nurturing environment for children and building lasting relationships with parents is truly an honor and something I take to heart every single day. My goal is for every family at to feel supported, welcomed, and confident that their children are receiving the care, attention, and education they deserve.
