Owner
Welcome! My name is Jenna Ellis and I am the On-Site Owner of our award-winning The Goddard School® on Windward. I have been working in the field of Early Childhood Education since 2004 and have been with our school since 2014. I hold my B.S. degree in Developmental Psychology with a focus in developmental and educational facets. The Goddard School® has had the most influential and profound impact on my life and helped mold me from teacher, to director, and as of 2017, the Owner that I am today. Our philosophy of whole-child education promotes parent-child relationships and social-emotional skill building while effectively helping to mold the leaders of tomorrow. Here at Goddard Windward, we encourage each child to vocalize their own ideas and foster their confidence as learners. This approach alongside the incredible faculty and intentional leadership we have here at Goddard Windward allowed us to win dozens of awards including Best Preschool repeatedly. We cannot wait to welcome you!

We love our teachers, staff, and the community feel of our school. The education offered is next level, but also the fun the kids have is at the top.
Aydin & Arya's Mother
Toddler Classroom
The teachers, admin and owner are incredible. There are few schools out there with the same dedication to learning through creativity and special events. Most importantly I feel 100% safe with my child (and next year children) at Goddard.
Paxton's Mother
Preschool Classroom
I love all the diversity and integration of my favor approaches to learning. My son loves going to school everyday and doesn’t want to leave some days. I also love that you celebrate so many occasions.
Gabriel's Mother
Toddler Classroom
I could not be more thrilled with our choice of school. It's a terrifying prospect - picking a group of people to care for your baby. But each week, we're even more confident in our choice. The teachers and staff at Goddard clearly love what they do and take such good care of my boy!
