Our Teachers

I am very excited and proud to be the on-site owner of the new Goddard School located in West Cobb. As a mother of two children, I recognize the importance of a safe and nurturing learning environment. I first discovered Goddard in 2003, when I was looking for a preschool for my oldest son. The quality of education offered at Goddard school combined with our personal experience enabled us to choose Goddard. My husband and I believe that a quality Early Childhood education helps in providing a strong foundation for every child.

In my spare time, I love reading, shopping, sports and live music.
