Our Goddard School Teachers

Hello, I am Ms. E, and I'm the onsite owner of The Goddard School in Corinth. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and an Executive master’s degree in business administration, both from The University of Connecticut. After spending two decades in strategic finance and building new products, I cherish the opportunity to serve children and their families. My husband and I value the importance of having a strong early childhood education that builds on necessary life skills will help to prepare our young children for their future. Every person deserves to have an enjoyable learning environment; access to the best learning tools and qualified teachers to help them excel. The Goddard School of Corinth serves families in Corinth, Denton, Lake Dallas, Argyle, Hickory Creek, Little Elm, and Lewisville. My husband enjoys golfing and I enjoy cooking and yoga. We are proud owners of our school serving this community! Schedule a tour and see the difference!

Hello everyone! My name is Melissa Sturm, and I am thrilled to be your director. I’m a busy mom to five wonderful kids—four boys and one girl—and I spend my free time chauffeuring them to various sports activities. When I have a moment to myself, I enjoy going to the movies and hunting for treasures at resale shops. I began my journey in child care at the age of 16 and have had the opportunity to teach every age group, serving in nearly every role along the way. My dedication to learning as much as possible in this field eventually led me to a management position. Child care is not just my profession; it is my passion and purpose. I am committed to making a positive impact on the lives of children and families and am always striving to create a nurturing and supportive environment. I'm excited about this journey with all of you and look forward to working together to make a difference!

Hello, my name is Ms. Alma, and I am the Office Manager. I have been working with The Goddard School in Corinth for over four years, and it has been such an amazing experience. I started out as a Twos assistant teacher and was promoted to Lead Teacher in Twos and most recently in Junior Preschool. I have been teaching in childcare for over nine years. I love working with children because they are innocent and eager to learn anything. My favorite teaching activities are singing and speaking Spanish during circle time, STEM activities, and dancing. My two kids also attend The Goddard School, and it’s amazing watching accomplishments as a parent! Since I have a big family (I am one of nine siblings), our weekends are filled with family times. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be part of your family!

Hello, I am Mrs. Julia! I was born and raised in Lake Dallas and I live with my husband and our dog, Donnie! I enjoy all things art and watching movies/tv shows in my free time. I really love working in childcare and believe teaching is the most rewarding and fulfilling profession. I love seeing kids’ genuine curiosity for new things & watching them grow! I am so grateful to be a part of your precious baby’s life and I am so thankful that you share them with us!

Hello, my name is Naomi, and I was born and raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area. I have been working with children for over three years, and my favorite age group is infants and young toddlers. I see myself primarily as a teacher because I have a passion for learning and educating others. It is incredibly rewarding to witness my students reach milestones such as crawling, sitting up, and engaging in hands-on projects! I attended Texas Tech University and plan to complete my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Psychology by the Fall of 2026.

Hello, my name is Magaly. I love working with children from infancy to toddler age. This stage is so impressionable, as they are learning all their foundational milestones and are curious about everything around them. I enjoy teaching because it’s rewarding to watch them meet or exceed these milestones. As an infant teacher, I take pride in supporting my students' development. It is truly fulfilling. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time outdoors, admiring the scenery, or relaxing with my four furry babies. I absolutely LOVE cats!

Hello! My name is Mina. I have been working with children since I was about 11 years old because my mom was a director at a preschool. I love working with all ages, but my passion lies with the two- and three-year-olds. I am excited about the opportunity to be a foundational support for them as they learn the basics of literacy, math, and science, while also teaching them how to regulate their emotions and become well-rounded individuals. I am originally from San Antonio, but I've been calling Denton my home since 2020. During the weekends, I enjoy teaching my son how to cook and bake. Additionally, I have a love for romantic comedies from the 1980s!

Hi, my name is Kailyn! I am passionate about teaching because I thrive on making a meaningful difference in children’s lives. I cherish the wholesome moments when my students bring joy and laughter to the classroom with their sweet and funny antics. Family is a cornerstone of my life. I have a close-knit bond with my mom, dad, and two siblings, and we love to explore new destinations together on family vacations. At home, I am accompanied by two adorable weenie dogs, Jax and Pepper, who add a playful touch to my everyday life. In my free time, I love attending concerts, where I can immerse myself in the energy and excitement of live music. My dedication to my students and my vibrant, enthusiastic spirit make me a wonderful addition to the school community. I look forward to creating memorable and impactful experiences with my students each day.

My name is Gaby, and I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education. I taught students from 1st to 5th grade for five years in Mexico. However, I have developed a deep passion for Early Childhood Education over the past decade. Teaching brings me immense joy, as it allows me to inspire and connect with my students on a daily basis. I find great satisfaction in helping each child discover their potential and celebrating their achievements. My favorite part of teaching is seeing my students happy! My goal as a teacher is to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all my students, enabling them to reach their potential on their journey toward developmental milestones. When I’m not in the classroom, you can find me outside skating. It’s a passion of mine that keeps me active and energized, and I'm always excited to share that enthusiasm with my students.

Hello, my name is Kassandra, but I go by Kassy. I have primarily worked with infants and toddlers, but I recently discovered my passion for teaching Pre-K. I am excited to be part of their journey, helping them become more than just Kindergarten-ready while learning essential life skills like social and emotional intelligence. I am in my third year at the University of North Texas, majoring in Early Elementary Education with a minor in Business. My goal is to become the Principal of an elementary school and to own a bakery. I love cats and ice cream, despite being allergic to both!
