Leading with Curiosity

Meet Kristina On-Site Co-Owner
As Co-Owner of The Goddard School in Farmington, I feel truly honored to be surrounded each day by the laughter, curiosity, and vibrant personalities of young children.
My academic background is in Human Development and Family Studies, and while my career began in corporate sales and operations management, those experiences have uniquely prepared me to lead with both heart and strategy.
Creating a nurturing environment where children’s needs come first—and where every family feels welcomed and valued—is at the core of everything I do.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, attending fall fairs and festivals, and traveling.
Welcome to The Goddard School family—we’re so glad you’re here!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
So glad that our little girl Sofia is at your school. She is having so much fun and is learning so much. Thank you for taking care of her. I highly recommend the Goddard School 100000%
We greatly appreciate the loving, educational, and joyful environment you’ve all created and feel blessed knowing Vella is in such wonderful care. We especially LOVE seeing Vella light up with excitement when she sees her teachers! Thank you for all the hard work and intentionality you’ve dedicated to creating an absolutely incredible environment.
The owners are on site daily and have an open door policy for questions, comments and even just to say hi and chat. The teachers go above and beyond to make the children comfortable. Daily activities to keep them occupied, reading, playing. They also take your child’s needs into consideration. My little one is always fed on time and changed with no questions asked. I highly recommend The Goddard School to any family looking for childcare.
We love the teachers. They are all so caring and attentive to the kids. I love dropping our daughter off knowing that she'll be loved and cared for all day. The education she receives is secondary in importance, but we're impressed by how much she is learning.
The teachers are wonderful! They are warm and nurturing and are very attentive to individual children's needs. The curriculum, from the infant room all the way up to pre-K, is well thought out and provide opportunities to explore and learn about a number of different subjects. I love that kids are taught yoga and Spanish in addition to math, science, art, music, dramatic play, and gym. I also love the daily communication through tadpoles and the newsletters/updates from the office.
Everything! The teachers and directors are amazing -- so patient, warm, caring, creative, consistent. There are so many activities that keep our daughter on her toes and learning throughout the day.
We like the structured nature of the program/curriculum, with the kids focusing on something different each day. We also like when Evan comes home using words/concepts that we have not taught him.
The teachers are hands on and educated them. I also feel that they're very loving ang caring for each child in their room.
