I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University and a Master’s Degree in School Counseling from Millersville University. Currently, I am pursuing an MBA. Before joining the Goddard School Bethlehem in 2009 as a preschool and kindergarten teacher, I owned and managed a veterinary hospital for ten years. I am a proud mother of two grown-up kids and a 3-year-old Cavalier. As a childcare provider, I am passionate about children and feel privileged to watch them learn and grow. I strongly believe that providing a nurturing environment that supports the whole child is crucial in creating lifelong learners. Thank you for entrusting me with your child's development.

    Welcome to our School. My husband Monty and I are the owners of The Goddard Schools located in Bethlehem, Macungie and Center Valley. We live in the Lehigh Valley and have 3 daughters, all of who are all Goddard graduates! Our Goddard journey started in 2004 as Goddard parents. I opened the Goddard School at Bethlehem in 2008 to bring the exact same exceptional standards in little children's education that I had wanted for my children. Our Goddard School at Macungie opened in 2015 as a next level preschool. Monty has an MBA from Ballarat University, Australia. Prior to joining Goddard, he was the Founder and CEO of CumulusIQ and Consarete Technologies.
