Our Teachers

Hi! I am Mr. Bill and I am the proud on-site owner and the operator of the Goddard School in Ramsey since March 2000, and now the Paramus School. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. I am a proud father of two boys. I love being at the Goddard School where the children learn while playing!

Hi! My name is Ms. Wendy. I am an onsite owner and I am so excited to be working with your children. I have my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and I worked in the Financial Industries for over 15 years. Working here at the Goddard School is a life changing experience for me. As a mother of two grown children, I believe that a strong foundation in early childhood education is a key to their success in years ahead. I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful children and families to work with.

I am Ms. YJ and I joined Goddard School Paramus in July 2016 as the Assistant Director and have been the Director since May, 2018. I have obtained my Bachelor's degree in England where I have spent most of my formative years and since my move to the US, I have been working in Manhattan managing a private business for almost 14 years. I have two children of my own who have benefited tremendously from Goddard Education and couldn't be happier to be a part of this family. It is my goal to continue the success of Goddard's philosophy to keep all our children grow and thrive in this safe and fun learning environment.

I am Ms. Rosemary and I have been with the Goddard School since it's opening in March, 2016. I received my Bachelors in Elementary Education and have taught grades first through fifth and I have over 10 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. As the Assistant Director, I look forward to working with our amazing teachers to implement new and exciting components to our curriculum.

My name is Ms. Maria and I am the Lead Teacher in the First Steps classroom. I believe that the most important role a teacher has in the classroom is to encourage their students to do their best and to acknowledge their efforts. Children learn best through experiences and I enjoy watching the little ones learn and discover new things.

My name is Ms. Gina, and I am the Assistant Teacher in the First Step classroom. I have been taking care of "little ones" for the past twelve years. Working with children over the years has become a labor of love and I have enjoyed watching the children in my care grow over the years. I believe the main role a teacher has is to help children grow and learn how to become their best selves. There is nothing more rewarding than to see their little minds blossom.

My name is Ms. Sandra, and I am the Assistant Teacher in the Toddler 1 classroom. I have been in the early childhood education field since 2006 and my passion is to watch children learn and grow into their personalities. I believe a teacher's role is to provide a happy, warm, and nurturing environment where children love to come to play, learn and thrive.

My name is Ms. Nerissa, and I am the lead teacher in Toddler 2. I received my bachelor's degree in nursing and am a mother of two beautiful girls. I believe all children are unique and have something special that they can share with both teachers and their friends. Children learn best with hands on experiences, and I love coming up with activities that foster learning and fun. My goal is to create a warm loving environment, so that my students will feel safe to take risks and express themselves.

My name is Ms. Lisa, and I am the Lead Teacher in the Get Set classroom. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from Spelman College. I have over 11 years of experience in the childcare field and have taught children from 18 months all the way to Pre-K and have been with the Goddard School since March 2018.

My name is Ms. Wendy, and I am the Assistant Teacher in the Get Set classroom. I have worked with children for over 15 years ranging in ages from infants to elementary aged children. I have always loved working with children, and watching them grow, learn, and thrive is what I love the most and feel very fortunate to be a part of their lives.

My name is Ms. Yoha and I am the Lead Teacher in Pre-School 1. I have worked with children from infant to the age of three for almost five years and have loved every minute of it! Children learn best when they are in a loving and nurturing environment and that is what I provide in my Pre-School classroom. I have been a part of the Goddard School since March 2018.

My name is Ms. Naomie and I am the Lead Teacher in Pre-K 1 classroom. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Studies from Empire State College. I have been working with children for 15 years ranging from infant to Pre-k classrooms. I have always aspired to work with young children and chose to become an educator because of my passion to make a difference in a child's life. I believe that a childcare provider should love what they do and seek further knowledge throughout their career to allow for a positive learning environment for each child they encounter.

My name is Ms. Ingrith and I am the Assistant teacher in the Pre-K classroom and I have worked with children ranging in ages from toddlers to elementary school. I believe children thrive in a nurturing environment where they feel safe and happy. I enjoy watching children grow day by day and am always amazed by how much they have learned.
