I love owning The Goddard School. I enjoy the light atmosphere the children constantly bring to the school. I have an MBA from the University of Chicago and a Bachelors and Masters degree in Environmental Engineering from Michigan Technological University. I own The Goddard School franchise because I value our high quality early childhood education program. As a working mom I understand the importance of feeling comfortable with the school your children attend. My goal is to provide a safe, loving atmosphere where your child will flourish because of the well rounded education and nurturing environment.
