Our Goddard School Teachers

Naomi is the proud owner of The Goddard School in Arvada and has been part of the Goddard family since 2011. Over the years, she’s worn just about every hat imaginable — Classroom Teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, Director, and Executive Director — giving her a deep understanding of what makes a school feel like home. Working with young children has always been her happy place. She earned her BA in Liberal Studies, focusing on Education and Ethnic Studies, from the University of California, Riverside, followed by her master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Colorado Denver. Naomi is passionate about learning, but what truly inspires her is building a strong, joyful community. Creating a place where children feel loved, families feel supported, and teachers feel empowered is at the heart of everything she does at The Goddard School in Arvada.

I have been at The Goddard School of Arvada since September 2015. Over the years I have spent most of my time in the infant and toddler classrooms as well as one school year as the Assistant Director. I discovered my passion for working with children after having my son in August of 2014. I find the most joy while working in the classroom, directly with the children and getting to be a part of their growth and development in their early childhood journey. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my son, Braden, and our two pets; our cat, Snowball and our dog, Orion. We enjoy family time, being outside, and watching movies together.

Hi! I have been with Goddard for almost 2 years! It’s been amazing working with the Goddard community! I have been working with children since 2016! Current enrolled at MSU for BA Human Development and Family studies and BS of psychology with a focus of Early childhood. My goal is to have my MBA for education. This spring I became a new mom! On my free time I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with family.

I have been in early childhood since 2015 and started at Goddard in 2021. I am a Colorado Native and have three sons. I have a love for teaching and being a teacher has allowed me to be close to my own kids. My youngest attends Goddard alongside me.

I have been with Goddard for two years. I started my Goddard journey while still in high school and moved into a full time teaching role once I graduated. I have always loved working with kids. After working in early childhood, my next goal is to go to nursing school.

I have been with Goddard since April 2023. I have always loved being around kids. My mom was a teacher which inspired me to become a teacher as well. My goal is to become a director of a childcare center in the future.

I have been with Goddard since 2022. I became a teacher because I love children and want to help them grow. As a teacher I do my best to make sure kids know I am both caring and friendly.

I have been in the field of Early Childhood for 30+ years and began at Goddard in October 2011. In 1990 I worked with a child who had special needs in a foster home. That child changed my direction and made me want to get a degree in ECE with special needs classes. I include sign language in the classroom. I first learned ASL when I worked in the deaf ed preschools through Aurora Public Schools for 6 years.

I have been with Goddard since 2022. I became a teacher because I love to help children learn and have fun! I am a mother of a three year old and just had my second child. They are my life and world. Just like me own children, I love my students!

I have been with Goddard since 2019. I began in our toddler rooms and worked in our Pre-K room for two years. I became a teacher to make learning a fun and safe environment. I am currently working towards my Bachelors in Education at the Community College of Denver. A fun fact about me is that I am a Colorado Native. I am also a happy mama to two puppy dogs and one stubborn kitty!

I have worked in early childhood since 2009 and joined Goddard in June 2023. What keeps me in Early childhood is the connections I make with children, families and our communities. Assisting in regulation and coregulation of emotions is a passion of mine. I have three cats and two kiddos and love to sing, dance, swim and be silly. I am also non binary and my pronouns are they/them.

I am new to Goddard, but have always been passionate about education. I became a teacher because I enjoy seeing kids thrive in great learning environments. I enjoy learning from the kids as well. I am currently working towards my bachelors at Colorado State University. I was born and raised in Denver. I love to travel and read. I also have a wooly husky that is 4 years old.

Hey there! I'm Ms. Ashley, I was born and raised here in Arvada. I have my own little boy who's name is Carsen, born September 2023. I've been working at since the beginning of 2020. I've always had a passion for working with children, even at a young age I knew that this is what I was meant to do. It means so much to be a part of their journey and support them when they need it most! I'm so thrilled to be back on the Goddard team and I'm looking forward to getting to know these kiddos and their families!

I started at Goddard and early childhood in August 2023. I became a teacher because early childhood is such a crucial time in life and I wanted to be a part of that discovery process for our friends. I feel that play is the most important way that children learn and strive to incorporate it as much as possible into our daily activities. In addition I actively keep the spirit and tone of the classroom playful.

I have been in at Goddard since September 2023. After babysitting as a teenager I decided to expand my career and become a teacher. I really enjoy being around children and seeing the different types of personalities they have as well as watching them develop. I have 2 dogs named Cherry and Arlo and I like to take them for walks or play with them. I enjoy going to the lake and paddleboarding or just being around nature.

I have worked in Early Childhood and Goddard since September 2023. I became a teacher so that I could engage in the school setting alongside my son. I am a mother of an 11 year old and 4 year old. I love spending time with them and my husband. As a family we enjoy shopping, family vacations and spending time with our large extended family.

I’ve been with Goddard since 2021. I have loved working with kids since I was younger. The early years are so fun and important for children. I really enjoy teaching because I am able to help children grow and get to see their joy when reaching goals and mastering skills. I have two kids of my own. Outside of work I love to play video games and do photography. I’m excited to build a relationship with you all!
