Our Teachers

This summer I'll be celebrating 10 years as a proud franchisee! No two days are the same and that is truly what keeps me motivated and excited. Utilizing my degree in Education from West Chester University I began my career with The Goddard School in Exton as a teacher in 2002. I then became the Director of Education for 5 years, before becoming an on-site Owner. As a mother of two Goddard graduates and an educator, I believe that providing children with daily experiences to grow and learn in an environment that supports the whole child is essential in creating life long learners! I truly love creating a family atmosphere here at Goddard!

I have been with The Goddard School, Exton since 2015, but my background in Early Childhood Education started back in 1991. Having worked both as a teacher, as well as Director, I have been able to experience preschool from a variety of levels. I've learned that patience, laughter and joy are what makes each day worthwhile!

My interest in education began in high school and continued on into college at West Chester University where I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education in 2013 and received my Prek-4 Teaching Certification. I taught Preschool and Pre-K before becoming a director in the fall of 2021. My passion for early education has only grown since then! What I love most about working at a school is that every day is different and brings something new. I believe in a positive mindset and building up those around me as much as I can!

I have been teaching at The Goddard School since 1999. I have over 20 years of experience working with children. Every day I am amazed by the inquisitiveness that my students bring to school; I love watching their personalities grow and develop. The Goddard School, Exton is my home away from home and I strive to make my classroom the same for your child!

I have been teaching the Pre-Toddlers here at The Goddard School for over 20 years! I have earned my CDA and enjoy continuing to learn more about my profession. Young Toddlers amaze me every day in how they show their independence! They love to learn and try new things; it's wonderful to have the opportunity to teach them every day!

I am a graduate of Cabrini College with my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. Being a mother of three boys and a Toddler teacher, I am not a stranger to messes! I love to see the joy in a young child's face as they use their imagination to create and explore. I strive to make my classroom a warm home-like environment that allows Toddlers to learn, laugh and grow!
