On-site Owner
Liz Smith is the on-site owner of The Goddard School of Waukee located at 80 NE Carefree Lane in Waukee, Iowa. Education: I hold a Bachelors Degree in Education from Winona State Experience: I worked as an Elementary Educator in the Johnston Community School District for seven years. A Little About Me: I love spending time with my family. I have two boys who keep me very busy. I enjoy traveling, watching the boys play sports, and spending as much time as possible outdoors. Favorite Children's Book: One of my all time favorites is one I received when my first child was born. It's called, "You Are My I Love You" by Maryann Cusimano. It spoke to the absolute irrevocable love I was experiencing in that moment. A love that I did not know existed before I had my first child. The book reminds me of the role I will forever play in my children's lives as well as the role they will forever play in mine.
