Owner
Samantha is the owner of The Goddard Schools in Derry and Nashua NH. She earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of New Hampshire in Durham and a Master’s degree in Business from Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts. She is also a Goddard parent; her older son attended the Nashua School for several years before she became a school owner herself. Now, her youngest son attends our school. “I love The Goddard School and the peace of mind that I had when my son attended. It's not just a child care or a 'day care', it's a safe and nurturing preschool for educating all young children. I enjoy sharing those great experiences with the families in Nashua!”

The Goddard school is very professional. I love the welcoming feel that I get when I walk through the door. This isn't just from the people that work with my daughter either. It is everybody. They talk about my daughter with such genuine compassion.

The staff are caring and dedicated to my daughter. It was hard for me to go back to work after maternity leave because I didn't want to leave my daughter, but one I saw how well cared for she is, I now feel comfortable leaving her while I work.
