Meet Nancy Owner

I have proudly owned The Goddard School of Mechanicsburg for over 20 years, bringing a wealth of experience and passion to early childhood education. After 27 years in the industry, I recently opened a second Goddard School here at Legacy Park. Continuing my commitment to providing exceptional learning environments for young children. As a mother of four, I understand the importance of creating a nurturing, safe, and engaging space for every child. Before venturing into education, I worked as a pediatric RN for nearly 10 years, providing compassionate care to children and families. My dedication to service extends beyond the classroom—I have been deeply involved in the Mechanicsburg community for over two decades, fostering strong relationships and supporting local initiatives. As a proud veteran, I bring discipline, leadership, and a strong sense of duty to everything I do. I am committed to ensuring every child at The Goddard School receives the highest quality care and education

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

We can't wait for your review! In the meantime, hear from another family about why they love their Goddard village.

"We feel so grateful for The Goddard School^® and its teachers and school leaders! Our child has absolutely loved each day from the very beginning. He has grown so much socially, emotionally and academically. The balance of 1-on-1 and whole group activities is perfect. And we really appreciate all the pictures with lesson summaries so that we can discuss with our son and reinforce at home."
