Our Teachers

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!

Hello Goddard Families! My name is Savannah and in the time that I have been here I have had the pleasure of teaching in the Preschool, Toddler and First Step classrooms. Each class has taught me so much and has encouraged me to go back to school. I recently have completed my masters degree in education! My future goal is to become a director and I currently spend time closing the school in the afternoons as well as helping with a variety of office tasks. My current home is in the Toddler room and I can't wait to help your little one learn and grow!

We would love to have you join our teaching team! We are looking for fun loving, hard working educators to collaborate with our amazing faculty!
