My name is Cyndi Murphy and I am the on-site owner at the Goddard School located in Murfreesboro TN. I am thrilled to be opening a Goddard School in Murfreesboro, bringing the best quality education and care to the families in the surrounding area. I am a firm believer in the Goddard program as I was a Goddard corporate employee for 9 years and my responsibility was supporting franchisees and directors by opening new schools throughout the country. It was the most rewarding job I have ever had, until now. I am passionate about Early Childhood Education. I possess a Master's Degree in ECE and have been in the profession for over 37 years. I'm looking forward to partnering with your family in the education and care of your children.
