Our Goddard School Teachers

I am proud to serve as the on-site owner of The Goddard School. At Goddard, we are dedicated to creating an environment where teachers provide the support, care, and guidance children need to thrive. My educational and professional experiences have prepared me well to lead our school and ensure that every child has a rewarding learning journey. My husband, Ryan, and I live in Brookfield with our three children. I truly enjoy getting to know all of our families and feel honored to be a part of your child’s early education. You have my commitment to making your child’s time at The Goddard School a positive and enriching experience.

I am thrilled to have joined The Goddard School family as Director and look forward to spending my days with your children. I have been working with children since the age of fourteen and have dedicated both my career and my life to teaching and supporting their growth. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Pace University, along with an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood. I moved to Brookfield from Somers, NY with my three boys. In my free time, I enjoy cheering them on at baseball, basketball, and lacrosse games.

I am thrilled to continue my early childhood career at The Goddard School as the Assistant Director. My passion for working with children began when I was twelve years old, and ever since, I’ve been dedicated to helping them grow, learn, and thrive. Originally from Los Angeles, California, I moved to Connecticut three years ago and have truly loved making it my home. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and you can often find me at the dog park with my Australian Cattle Dog, Lulu, playing fetch. I am so excited to be here and look forward to building meaningful connections with your children and families.

I am thrilled to have been part of The Goddard School family since 2007. This has truly been one of the most rewarding careers of my life. With an original background in retail management, I discovered a new passion working with children and supporting their growth. Originally from Long Island, NY, I relocated to Connecticut in 1990 with my husband, Kevin, and our son, Kevin. Over the years our family grew with the additions of Christopher, Connor, and Kayla. As my children grew, I became very involved in their lives and our community, serving as a Cub Scout leader, Vice President of the PTO at Center School, and volunteering in many roles from team mom to Vice President of Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading. I also spent many years volunteering and working in the Brookfield schools. There is nothing more meaningful to me than being part of a child’s growth and development, and I am honored to share in your child’s journey here at Goddard.

I am an Assistant Teacher with four years of experience working in infant classrooms, where I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for every child. I believe caregiving is about offering genuine care, emotional support, and being a positive influence in a child’s early development. I live in Brookfield with my husband and our son, Jacob, who inspires me every day. In my free time, I enjoy making homemade natural cosmetics, which allows me to express my creativity and passion for wellness.

I have been proud to be part of The Goddard School family since 2007. I live in Danbury with my husband of more than 35 years and our two wonderful sons. Before joining Goddard, I worked as a Lead Teacher at a center in Newtown and also owned and operated my own in-home daycare for 10 years. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education from Post University and have always had a passion for helping children learn and grow. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, cooking, reading, and spending quality time with my family. Each child is unique and special, and I feel truly honored to be a part of their early education journey here at Goddard.

I am very excited to be a part of The Goddard School! I have been teaching Preschool and Pre-K for many years, and I find it truly rewarding to help children grow into happy, confident school-agers. I earned my Associate’s Degree from the University of Hartford and hold certification in Early Childhood Development through the Child Development Association. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering with the New Milford Pop Warner Organization and spending time with my two wonderful children. I look forward to getting to know you and your children and being a part of their learning journey.

I am thrilled to be part of the Goddard team! Working with young children has always been my passion, and I strive to create a nurturing, playful, and supportive environment where every child can grow and thrive. I graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and have gained valuable experience in childcare throughout the years. I began my career in a younger toddler classroom and most recently served as a lead teacher in a younger preschool class. I am looking forward to a wonderful school year and am excited to get to know you and your little ones!

I joined the Goddard family in 2007 and have been dedicated to working with children for most of my life. I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education from Naugatuck Valley Community College and believe that teaching is one of the most exciting and rewarding careers. Watching children grow, learn, and gain independence is what inspires me every day. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are Sign Language and Self-Help Skills, as they give children tools to express themselves and build confidence. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy working out, reading, hiking, and exploring art. I look forward to continuing to support your children as they develop into strong, independent learners.

I have been working with children for more than 25 years, and I am so excited to be part of The Goddard School. I am also the proud parent of two wonderful boys. As a family, we enjoy playing board games, taking walks with our dog Tula, and spending time with our cat Presley. I earned my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Infant Education from The Borough of Manhattan Community College and went on to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at The City College of New York. Teaching is my passion—I truly adore working with children and treasure being part of their “aha” moments as they learn and grow each day.

I have been teaching for many years and have truly discovered my passion in working with children. Watching their unique perspectives and creativity unfold is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching. I love encouraging children to explore their creative sides, and I especially enjoy incorporating singing and dancing into the classroom—it’s a wonderful way for them to express themselves, release energy, and have fun together. Outside of work, I’m a proud aunt to five amazing children, and I love spending time with them, which means I’m often surrounded by kids both in and out of the classroom. I am excited to continue helping children learn, grow, and prepare for their future adventures!

I am delighted to be a part of The Goddard School team. I have worked in child care for many years, and before that I was an elementary classroom teacher in Morocco. My husband and I have two wonderful daughters, and in my free time I enjoy baking, hiking, and cheering them on at their sporting events. I also love creating fun arts and crafts projects to share with your children. I have always cherished the innocence and humor of children, and I look forward to getting to know your little ones and working with them throughout the year.

I am so excited to be a part of the Goddard family! I started working with children as a camp counselor when I was a teenager and my love for working with children grew from there. With a background in Early Childhood, I have now been working with children for over 20 years. I am also certified in mindfulness, meditation and sound healing and I am always looking to take more classes and courses as I love learning new things. I love the pure joy children have and the smile on their faces when they greet me and learn something new! It puts an instant smile on my face as well! I have four wonderful children of my own and in my free time I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and spending time with my family. During the summer you will find me at all of the BMX tracks around CT cheering my boys on! I look forward to getting to know you and your children and being a part of their learning and growth here at Goddard!

I’m so excited to be part of The Goddard School community! I have spent many years working with children in both childcare centers and home settings, and it continues to be such a rewarding experience. One of my favorite parts of teaching is watching children explore, discover, and celebrate their accomplishments. Outside of school, I love having dance parties with my husband and children, as well as cheering on baseball games. I look forward to building strong connections with your family and supporting your child’s growth and learning journey.

I am so happy to be working here at the Goddard School. Working with children has always been my passion. I’ve known I wanted to be a teacher since I was little, pretending to run my own classroom at home. Today, I’m proud to be living that dream by helping young learners grow, explore and build confidence every day. I’ve been working with children for over three years, and I’ve had hands-on experience in both classroom teaching and child development. I’ve taken early childhood education courses in both high school and college and I’m currently pursuing my degree in elementary education. As both an educator and a parent I understand how important it is to create a warm, safe and engaging environment where every day a child can thrive. I love bringing energy and positivity into the classroom. Watching children discover new things and grow into their unique selves is the most rewarding part of what I do.

I am so excited to be part of the Goddard family! I have been teaching since 2020, but my love for working with children began long before that. I started at my hometown YMCA before attending the University of Hartford, where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. One of my favorite parts of being a teacher is building meaningful relationships with each child while supporting their growth, development, and love of learning. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy hiking, exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my friends and family.

I am a proud Mexican American, born in Texas and raised in Arizona. My first visit to the East Coast was during middle school, and now I’ve made Connecticut my home with my husband and our two children. I have always loved working with children, as they bring so much joy and light into our lives. Being part of their growth and development is truly a privilege, and I believe we learn just as much from them as they do from us. I am grateful to be at The Goddard School and to contribute to each child’s journey of learning and discovery.

I am so excited to be joining The Goddard School of Brookfield! Before moving here from Massachusetts, I worked as a toddler teacher at another Goddard School. I have been working in childcare since 2009 and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I am certified to work with all age groups, though I especially enjoy spending time with infants and toddlers. I love the joy and pride on a child’s face when they accomplish something for the very first time, and I truly believe we can learn from children every single day. Some of my favorite children’s books are The Little Blue Truck and the Pete the Cat series. I look forward to getting to know your child and watching them grow throughout their time here!

I am so excited to be part of The Goddard School of Brookfield! Supporting children as they learn and grow has always been my passion. I believe that the early years are the most important for development, and I feel honored to play a role in each child’s journey. My experience with children began in my teenage years as a babysitter, then grew into six years as a nanny. I’ve also worked in childcare centers and even as a hairdresser in a children’s salon, which gave me a unique perspective on nurturing and engaging with children in different settings. Outside of the classroom, I’m a proud wife and mom to three wonderful daughters. In my free time, I enjoy baking, cooking, and spending quality time with my family. I look forward to getting to know you and your child!
