Owner
I’m thrilled to open The Goddard School in Darien in 2025, which is our second school after first opening in Westport in 2019. As a full-time working mother of 2 children, I've seen the difference that a high-quality, early childhood education has made in preparing them for school and life. I am delighted to own and operate The Goddard School and provide our families with a caring, joyful childcare experience!
