Meet Corinne Managing Partner

I have been working with Goddard since 2020 and I am proud to serve as the Managing Partner at New Albany! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication Technology from Bowling Green State University and a Master’s in Educational Technology Leadership from The George Washington University. In 2024, I received the Aim4Excellence National Director Credential from the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Education. With over a decade of experience in early childhood education, I am passionate about fostering a love of learning in young children and supporting the teachers who guide them every day. I take great joy in combining my classroom experience with my leadership role to create a nurturing, engaging, and fun environment for both children and staff. My goal is to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn — while building strong partnerships with families along the way. It’s a privilege to be part of such an incredible team here at Goddard!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

The owners and teachers at Goddard are wonderful, caring, and devoted to making their school the best! I’ve already recommended the school many times and continue to do so each opportunity I get. It’s not easy leaving my daughter in somebody else’s care, but between updates from the app, the smile on her face each day when she comes home, I know she’s in the best hands.
