Our Goddard School Teachers

As the proud owner and operator of The Goddard School at Souderton, I’m honored to partner with you in your child’s early education journey. After a rewarding career in banking, I shifted my focus to what matters most to me: raising my own three children and building a nurturing, high-quality early childhood experience for other families. My husband, Dennis, serves as the athletic director at Souderton Area High School and leads local basketball camps. Together, we’ve seen firsthand how a positive, enriching environment can shape a child’s academic and social-emotional development. This fuels our shared commitment to ensuring every child who walks through our doors feels supported, inspired, and ready to thrive. Our mission is simple: to provide the very best early childhood education and care in a setting where every child—and family—feels valued. We are always striving to improve, and we welcome your feedback as we grow together. We are truly grateful for your trust in us.
