I strongly believe in attending to every child’s individual need by giving them the space and opportunity to explore through their imagination. Stepping into the role of Director, I am inspired to support the teachers in facilitating a healthy, fun, safe, and enriching environment.

I am so pleased to be part of the amazing team at The Goddard School here in Wilton, since August 2018. I enjoy spending my days in the classroom helping children prepare for kindergarten through curriculum-based plans full of song, creative arts, collaboration and incidental teaching. I enjoy fostering relationships with students of varied abilities and partnering with administration, peers and parents to ensure I do the most I can for each child. Building relationships on trust and caring is the most rewarding facet of my time spent in the classroom. I have degrees in English and Journalism from the University of Connecticut and found my way into the education system through my children. When they were both in school full time, I began working in the public schools as a literacy para so I could share their schedule. From that point on I was hooked, and when my family moved to Maine, I became a Pre-K teacher at a private center. I am so happy to be back in this setting and look forward to the opportunity to work with your children. **Ms. Jen was our Teacher of The Year in 2021! She went on to win the Goddard School Northeast Region Teacher of The Year, and we are SO proud!!

I am thrilled to be part of this amazing Goddard School team since 2018.

Working with so many different age groups made me realize that my true interest is in Early Childhood, where I can give my young students a strong academic foundation and help them develop skills that will prepare them for kindergarten! Looking forward to working with so many Goddard families!

Hello, my name is Janice, I’m a wife, mother, and caregiver to my father. I’m excited to be a part of the Goddard School team! I have many years experience of teaching children of all ages. I have earned my degree in Early Childhood Education, which I obtained at NCC, while graduating with honors. My passion for teaching began as a mother, and also having a large family.

I love working with children and it amazes me what young children are capable of learning when they are in a safe, nurturing and supportive environment. My philosophy is that each child is unique, therefore they learn and thrive at their own pace. “Fair isn’t everybody getting the same thing…Fair is everybody getting what they need in order to be successful.” I found this quote to be meaningful and accurate while working with children. I can’t wait to come familiar with all the children and families here at the school. I’m excited to be your child’s teacher, not only to teach them, watch them grow, but also to learn from them myself. I enjoy spending time with my family, and cooking.
