Our Goddard School Teachers

I am proud to offer the opportunity for children to grow through exploration and hands-on learning. I am thrilled to be able to provide a fun, play-based learning experience for the children in my community.

I'm here to help your children learn and grow, to celebrate their successes, and to support them when things get tough. One of my favorite things about being a teacher is watching the children light up with excitement when they learn something new.
