Meet Miss Jennifer Lead Teacher - Shining Starfish Pre-K Classroom

Miss Jen holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Cleveland State University and has been a devoted member of The Goddard School community since October 2008. With many years of experience in the field, she brings a wealth of knowledge to the classroom and has played a key role in establishing a high-quality Pre-K program. She loves teaching because her students challenge her just as much as she challenges them—an exchange that continually helps her grow as an educator. Watching children develop confidence, curiosity, and new skills is what inspires her every day. Outside of work, Miss Jen enjoys reading, going to the beach, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. Her dedication, expertise, and passion for early learning make her an invaluable part of the Goddard community.
