Hello! My name is Alexis Johnson. I have been working professionally in early childcare since 2019.

Since starting childcare, I have begun my journey to achieve a bachelors degree in early childhood education. Within my educational journey I have specialized in Infant\Toddler Care, Early Education, and Preschool Foundations. After completing Early Childhood Education, I plan to further my education and pursue a degree in Child Psychology.

Hello! My name is Ms. Marshall, and I am thrilled to be part of The Goddard School family. I am a proud HBCU graduate, and before joining Goddard, I served for two years with the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) and its affiliate, the National Education Association (NEA). Those experiences strengthened my passion for early childhood education and my commitment to helping young children learn and grow. I believe every child deserves a classroom where they feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. My goal is to create a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment where children build confidence, develop meaningful relationships, and discover the joy of learning through hands-on experiences and purposeful play. I look forward to getting to know each child and partnering with families to support their growth, celebrate their achievements, and make this a wonderful year of learning together!

Hello Parents I am a dedicated preschool teacher with six years of experience working in toddler classrooms. I am currently pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Education, where I continue to grow my knowledge and skills to better support young learners. I believe that toddlers learn best through play, exploration, and nurturing relationships. I am passionate about creating a caring and engaging classroom environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing my students’ faces light up each day as they discover something new. Outside the classroom, I enjoy creative activities such as hairstyling, nails, and lashes, and I’m a big fan of Minnie Mouse.
