Meet Christina School Owner

I am so excited to be the onsite Owner of The Goddard School. Before this new chapter in our lives, I spent the majority of my career in the Broadcast Television field. I believe this uniquely prepared me for the Early Childhood Education industry with experience in the creative arts as well as business management. My husband, Billy and I are the proud parents of three beautiful children, Joshua, Jessica and Jackson. Our family enjoys music, travel, spending time volunteering at our Church. Our youngest son is a Goddard Graduate and couldn’t be more proud of the education he received. Our vision can be summed up in the words of the scholar and teacher Forest Witcraft: “One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money was in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like. But the world may be a better place because I was important in the life of a child.”

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

The teachers genuinely love and care for the children. And I love the cleaning procedures and the rotation of sanitizing the toys in classrooms. And the curriculum is out of this world!!

Maiev's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Transferring from a different daycare, I am impressed with the school. I get a ton of communication with what’s going on in my daughter’s class, and sometimes up to 10 pictures a day. I love that they provide snacks. My daughter is usually excited to go, and happy when I pick her up.

Brooklyn & Mackenzie's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Super supportive staff, great curriculum. We appreciate the family/village support with raising our children. Ms. Gayle, Ms. Ira and Ms. Keisha are rock stars!

Adelyn & Ayden's Father

Pre-K Classroom

The director and admin team promote a diverse and inclusive learning environment for my child. I especially appreciate how allergy-conscious the school is by implementing easy-to-follow policies to ensure all children are included. I am so proud to be affiliated with this school.

Philip & Leani's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

I’m very happy with my experience at Goddard. The staff is warm, caring, and attentive to our needs as parents as well as our children.

Kinsley's Mother

Preschool Classroom

We came to this school after having to leave a previous daycare. They have been so amazing with our twins. The teachers pour in so much love & extraordinary patience. My girls can be challenging but they never make me feel that way. They have come leaps and bounds in their development and we couldn’t be happier.

Love & Loyalti's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Ms. Laura and Ms. Lubi have been extremely positive forces in our lives since beginning VPK. We are eternally grateful for all their love, time and resources that they have poured into us.

Luna's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

The reasoning for me giving Goddard a 10. My children have only been attending Goddard for just a little over 1month and the teachers and all staff are amazing. The fact that my 3 year tells me “bye mommy” has me in tears. I have found the very best center!
