Meet Belen

Lead Teacher - Racing Rabbits - 2023-2024 Lead Teacher of the Year
Ms. Belen joined the Goddard School in 2023. Educational Qualifications: • 90-Hour Preschool and 90-Hour Infant and Toddler Certifications • Basic Health and Safety Certified • First Aid and CPR Certified • MSDE Credentialed - Level 3. Ms. Belen has worked with children since 2015. She believes her role is to provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where students and teachers learn together. She also believes in trying our best even though we might not know now, we will learn. She strives to give children the tools to help them express their feelings, improving the classroom environment. Her favorite children’s book is “Bear Wants More” by Karma Wilson. When not at school, Belen enjoys family time which is very important to her. They enjoy walking, going out to eat, or spending time with friends. Eating food from around the world is exciting to her. Watching any movie based on a Jane Austen Book is her comfort zone.

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

We love the owners Jim and Lynn. They and the rest of the staff (directors & teachers) always keep us informed with the right level of communication! We are so grateful for this level of care for our two kids.
Katharina Cecilia & Jakob's Mother
Toddler Classroom
The school owners are fantastic. The teachers truly care! We have referred several families! I just wish they would not raise tuition so much every year. It all adds up! Otherwise it’s clean and they teach our children a lot. Especially in Pre-K!
Mateo & Adriana's Mother
Preschool Classroom
We have a three year old and an almost one year old at Goddard Columbia and we've loved the experience every step of the way. Both kids have had wonderful, caring and loving teachers at every level and are truly thriving intellectually, socially and emotionally in their classroom environments. We love the front office staff and the owners Jim and Lynn. Couldn't be happier with our experience!
Charlotte & Bronson's Mother
Infant Classroom
The leadership and staff are professional, responsive and genuinely care about my children. The classrooms are always clean and filled with engaging activities. The staff prioritize health and safety and provide a nurturing environment for my little ones to grow and thrive.
