Owner
Welcome! My name is Jenna Ellis and I am the On-Site Owner of our wonderful Goddard School® located on Windward Parkway in Alpharetta. I have been working in the field of Early Childhood Education since 2004 and have been at The Goddard School® on Windward since 2014. My husband, Zach and I have both of our children here with us at Goddard Windward starting in our infant classroom all the way through Kindergarten. Our teachers are our partners in parenting, creating a personal relationship that will never be replaced. We are so proud to be a family-ran, community-focused business. 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 teaching through a play-based, STEAM-enhanced curriculum focused on collaboration, creativity, communication, critical thinking and citizenship, promotes parent-child relationships and open communication while effectively helping you to mold the leaders of tomorrow. Here at The Goddard School® on Windward, we encourage each child to vocalize their own ideas and foster their confidence as learners. From learning in our outdoor classroom and growing in our student garden to the theater productions on our gym stage and scaling our rock climbing wall, students are encouraged to be explorers, critical thinkers and problem solvers. 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 in Alpharetta, over and over again. I am so excited to meet you and invite your family into ours.

GODDARD LOVE FROM
FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

The way this school is also like a family. The teachers and families have created such a wonderful bond to where everyone supports and helps one another. I love the fact my child gets to grow and learn in this type of atmosphere. It truly does take a village to raise a child, and I’m glad we are a part of this one. Keep up the great work!

Heather & Ariana's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I like the fact that parents are given a role in their child's comfort e.g. The smallest things such as taking blanket, sheet, being able to walk in the kitchen and see how much milk my child has left - the latter promotes transparency. Kids having water available to them all day long in their cubbies, being given the choice to bring own food. Also, I feel that Jenna truly cares for the welfare of my child.

Olivia's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I like that each classroom has curriculum and they push the kids to excel. I feel that my children are safe at Goddard and they are having fun while learning.

William & Andrew's Mother

Kindergarten Classroom

The staff are ALL wonderful and I love that I can drop my kids off in the morning and don't have to worry if they are being taken care of. Everyone always goes over and above to make sure all of the kids are well cared for. The director Jenna is amazing and is the glue that holds it all together so nicely.
