Meet Maryam Director
Hi everyone I’m Maryam, I’m so excited to be your new Head Director here at The Goddard School of Southwest Portland! I bring several years of experience in early childhood education, most recently serving as a Multi-Site Coordinator, Site Director, and Talent Recruiter with KinderCare, supporting programs throughout Lake Oswego, Wilsonville, and West Linn.
Working with children has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, but one of the things I love most is developing, mentoring, and empowering others to provide the same level of quality care and meaningful experiences for every child.
Outside of work, you can usually find me hiking on Sundays, enjoying a beautiful sunset, admiring sunflowers, or spending time with my two cats, Zeeko and Juju.
It is truly an honor to become part of this community, and I cannot wait to get to know all of our wonderful families, children, and staff. I’m looking forward to all the memories, growth, and exciting moments ahead! ??

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
We have had the greatest experience. It is absolutely an investment, but a worthwhile one to say the least. Our two kids (4 and 2) adjusted immediately and are thriving. The staff are friendly, honest, patient and engaging. It’s a good sin that your kids are happy when they practically jump out of the car to go inside and whine (although happy to see me) to leave when I pick them up. I cannot stress how loving and wonderful this place as are all the people within. 100% recommend.
I've had such an amazing experience with Goddard. The teachers are engaging and encouraging, they communicate with parents effectively and they make learning fun. My 4 year old loves going to school; she regularly tells me she wants to stay at school when I pick her up. The staff all really care about the students and it shows. SO happy I found Goddard!
We like every teacher we have met...miss Alexis, Miss Diane, Miss Layni, Miss Miriam, and others Miss Angi, Cholan. So nice, caring, professional. Nice, clean facility. Very consistent protocols. It means a lot to us that we are greeted warmly by all staff when we come and go each time. Even if we don't know who they are they smile and say hi. It instills a sense of trust and confidence in the place caring for our most precious gift (our child). Thank you.
The teachers care about my daughter nearly as much as I do, which is SO important to me. I know that she is in safe, good hands. They also not only care for her but educate her as well. Every week we realize she has learned something new, whether it’s sign language, identifying colors or parts of her body, or growing more control over her movements. We love to see he thriving as a result of goddard.
I love the teachers and how well they communicate with us parents. My child loves going to school each day and that’s the best thing for a parent!
We have been very please with the care our 10 month old has been receiving. We recently referred a friend and Cholan has been helpful, caring and accomodative to us. We are very happy with all the teachers and can tell that our Son is very happy and excited to go to school to learn and play. We feel very fortunate to have found The Goddard School. Thank you!
I love that my son has a good time there. You guys always have a lot of cool activities and the pictures we get throughout to the day are great. He really likes all his teachers and seems very happy while he is there. I am always greeted by name and I feel valued as a parent to the school and I feel like my son is valued as well. I enjoy all of his teachers just as much as he seems to and really like hearing about their days with him.
We really liked the Goddard school very much. The childcare team are extremely helpful and understanding. And the school is very safe for kids.The curriculum they follow is of very high standard.
