Our Goddard School Teachers

I am proud to serve as the onsite owner-operator of The Goddard School in Montgomeryville. I am a Goddard alum myself, and my family has more than 25 years of experience operating Goddard Schools. I graduated from Lehigh University and currently live in Montgomery County with my wonderful wife, Tam. I consider it a privilege to help children learn, grow, and thrive. There is nothing quite like watching a child gain confidence, ask their first big question, or make a new friend. Our teachers bring exceptional tenure and experience to the classroom, so families can count on the same familiar, caring faces guiding their child's growth year after year. I'd love for you to stop by, meet our teachers, and see for yourself what makes our school so special.
