Meet Rachel Onsite Owner

I started my career here at the Goddard School in 2008 as a teacher, and then as director since 2015. I took over as the on-site owner in 2022 because I truly believe in not only the Goddard School name, but in the high quality education our specific teachers give to the students in our care. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Development, so I know how truly important it is to set a positive foundation of learning in the early years of childhood. As a proud mother of three children, and learning through their happiness and early development, I hold a high standard for the quality of education that is being delivered to our children. I believe that they should have the opportunity to explore every inch of their environment with no limit as to what they are able to discover, achieve, and aspire to be.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

My son is so excited to go to school and see his friends! His teachers have created such and nurturing and beneficial environment for him.

Casey's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Our kids love it there. I feel like they're maturing and growing at a rate we didn't see at other daycares/schools. They're also learning/maturing life skills, not just academic skills.

Israel's Mother

Goddard Graduate

The transition from being home with mom to day care has been so smooth. We can see how much fun he is having there and we can tell how well he is cared for. He loves seeing his teachers in the morning! I also feel like he has learned so many things by watching other kids. The app that you provide is also great. We love the pictures and videos plus the update of everything he did that day.

Owen's Mother

We trust the school and feel that Emmitt is getting the best daycare experience that he could in the Youngstown area.

Emmitt's Mother

We are so fortunate to have access to the incredible resources that Goddard provides to our children! I can never overstate the depth of my gratitude for their integral part in molding my son from such a young age. Their dedication to each student's social/emotional and scholastic education is truly unmatched!
