Our Goddard School Teachers

Waco and Annette Lane are high school sweethearts and the owners of The Goddard School of Moore. They have three children, Ethan (& wife Elizabeth), Clayton, and Cora. Waco is a retired Marine Officer and Annette is a homemaker. Waco holds a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering and a Masters of Business Administration. Annette studied Cellular and Molecular Biology, however, she decided to leave college early to join Waco in his career and soon after start a family. Waco and Annette are passionate about developing children into lifelong learners and critical thinkers in a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment. They chose to open a Goddard School because they understand the impact early childhood education can have on a child’s future success.

Annie is originally from St. Louis, Missouri and moved to Oklahoma in November of 2022. She has worked in early childhood education for nine years and has worked in a Goddard school in Missouri for five of those years. She joined our Goddard Family in February of 2023 as a part of our opening staff. Annie is engaged to a Marine Corp Veteran and together they have a son. During her free time, Annie enjoys spending time at her parents’ lake house fishing and riding ATV’s. Music plays a huge roll in her teaching methods, and you will most likely hear her singing songs to the children to teach them colors, numbers, and everyday tasks. Annie is looking forward to building relationships with her students and the families of our school. She also is excited to get the opportunity to help the staff learn and grow.
