Meet Mary & Mr Zach On-Site Owner
Ms. Mary and Mr. Zach bring a wealth of experience and passion to The Goddard School of Middle River. Ms. Mary holds a degree in Early Childhood Education from St. Vincent College and has over 15 years of experience in the field. Her dedication to creating nurturing, engaging learning environments helps children build the confidence and curiosity that lead to lifelong success.
Mr. Zach began his career as a Pre-K teacher at The Goddard School in Forest Hill, where he developed a love for guiding young learners through hands-on exploration and discovery. Together, they opened The Goddard School of Middle River in 2016, combining their expertise and shared vision to provide families with a warm, supportive, and high-quality early childhood education experience.
Their commitment to The Goddard philosophy runs deep, their two oldest children attended The Goddard School from infancy through Pre-K, and they look forward to welcoming their newest little one to the Goddard family in 2026.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
My son started at your location a month ago and he is doing so well. His teacher is wonderful, the center is wonderful, and I have already recommended you to two friends who are looking for preschool/childcare options.
Really love the environment and learning experiences that my child was able to have while attending this center. Loved the teachers and the families that my child was able to get to know and build relationships with. Clean and modern center with lots of family involvement.
Enrolling our daughter at the Goddard was one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and smiles. The teachers are an exceptional team and my daughter learned a lot through creative projects, lessons and it just fueled her curiosity to want to learn more (at and outside of school). Thank you Goddard School at Middle River for your dedication and unwavering commitment.
Everyone is so kind and willing to work with me as a parent. I love the teachers and getting updates about my daughters day. I love the lessons and how my daughter can be creative and the goals are clearly outlined so I know what she is working towards!
The teachers are amazing with the kids. The office staff is friendly, my daughter has grown academically so well.
My daughter is in love with school . She wakes up every day asking to go even on weekends ! The teachers are amazing and so understanding !
We love the personal experience with the office staff to the teachers. They really get to know our families. The teachers are real teachers and know what our child’s strengths are and what to work on plus they help work on them with us. Thank you all for everything!
My son has absolutely loved his teachers like they are his family. I cant thank you all enough!
