Meet Kristine & Kevin Owners

Hello! We are the Kempl family: Kristine, Kevin, Mason and Soren . We are previous (and current) Goddard parents, which led us on this journey to open a Goddard School to share our experience with local families and provide the opportunity for each child to build a strong foundation for school and life. Kristine has a Masters in Occupational Therapy, which focuses on developing or rehabilitating appropriate emotional and motor development across the lifespan. Kevin has a background in business management and entrepreneurship. We believe every child should have the opportunity to excel in a safe, nurturing and enriching environment. We are excited to partner with you and provide an inclusive space for your child to learn and grow. We would love to be an extension of your family! We look forward to hearing from you!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

We are beyond pleased with the Goddard school of Novi. Daycare had us very apprehensive seeing as though this is our first child but they take great care of our baby. She loves going everyday, she loves her teachers and the activities that happen on a daily basis. We are very lucky to have found this daycare

Regina's Mother

Infant Classroom

We absolutely love The Goddard School, Novi II. The owners and staff members are polite, supportive, and responsive. My daughter has learned so much and is thriving. She absolutely loves school and learning. I am so pleased with the amount of growth she has made in such a short time. I highly recommend The Goddard School.

Ava's Mother

Toddler Classroom

I really love the welcoming environment of the Novi 2 school. All the teachers know my child by name and will great her as they see her walk in. The owners of this location are so kind, compassionate, and professional. My child really enjoys coming to school each day and often says “yay! That’s my school!” When we arrive in the morning. She’s making friends and learning so much! We appreciate everything this center is doing for our family and the families of those who attend!

All teachers are always engaged with their students/kids. Even walking in, everyone usually greets Elliot as their own. Parents are always considered with events and welcome to join. Spirit week! We love that. Very happy with our decision to join you guys!

Louis's Mother

Toddler Classroom

My son is Japanese and cannot speak English well, but teachers try to understand what he want to say. He learn a lot of things at school. Now I have come to be able to speak a little bit of English and been interested in other people. I am glad to send my son to Goddard school.
