Our Goddard School Teachers

My name is Aileen Connolly. I reside in Doylestown with my husband, Brian, and my daughter, Grace. I graduated from Thomas Edison State College with a degree in Finance and worked in the Banking field for over twenty years. My daughter attended The Goddard School in Jamison for four years. I was so pleased with the school and the program that I left my career in banking to buy The Goddard School at The Farm in February 2006. Denise, Cathie, the school's exceptional faculty and I have worked together to develop our program to provide the highest level of excellence in education and care. I am proud to be the owner of the best Goddard School in the country.
