Meet Danielle Executive Director

Hi, I’m Ms. Danielle and I am the Executive Director. I started working at the Goddard School in September 2006 as the Kindergarten Head Teacher. In 2012, I was promoted to Assistant Director and for two years I played a dual role as Assistant Director and Kindergarten Head Teacher. In June 2019, I was promoted to Director. I graduated Cum Laude from Towson University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I love watching the children grow and learn and successfully meet the developmental goals set for them. The Goddard philosophy allows children to learn in a fun, safe environment and I truly believe that children thrive in our school.
