Meet Marissa Owner

Kristina and I are thrilled to announce the opening of The Goddard School in our hometown of Simsbury, expanding on the success of our Farmington location, which we have co-owned together since 2013. Our mission is to create a dynamic early childhood environment where children can thrive and develop a love for learning. We ensure that each child's unique needs are met while fostering their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth. As a proud parent of three Goddard graduates myself (Wyatt, Quinn & Stetson), I am dedicated to supporting our teachers and providing a nurturing, safe space that feels like a "home away from home" for all our students.
