Meet Jim Owner

I am the onsite owner of The Goddard School of Spotswood and have a business degree from Brookdale college. As an account executive I have had hands-on experience in leading a successful team in delivering the highest level of customer service. I hope to use these experiences to improve the day to day operation of the Goddard School. In addition to my business experience, I am a father of two children who attended a local Goddard School for 6 years. During that time, I had very positive interactions with the School and had a definitive belief on what parents expect in the care and education of their children. I am also a New Jersey certified coach and have coached for several years for local baseball, soccer and football leagues. Throughout my coaching years I encouraged children of all ages to stay active and motivated as an important guide for teaching good sportsmanship and building self-confidence.
