Our Goddard School Teachers

After being a part of the Triangle community for over twenty years, I am proud to open The Goddard School. Having raised two children, I recognize how valuable it is to set a solid foundation for children in their early years of learning. I love building great connections with parents, families, children and my team. My vision for the school is to provide stimulating child care that promotes social, emotional, and cognitive development.
