Our Goddard School Teachers

My name is Trevor Seiter, and I am the on-site owner of The Goddard School of Canton. My wife and I also own another Goddard School, where our two children, Kylie and Nolan, are enrolled. This personal connection has fueled my passion for early childhood education, as I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact early learning has on children’s development. With a background as a CPA, I transitioned into this field to pursue a more meaningful career. I’m excited to continue making a lasting, positive impact by nurturing a love for learning in a safe, supportive environment.

Her experience and personal interests make her a well-rounded and compassionate leader in her field.
