Meet Amanda Owner

John and Amanda Snowman are the proud owners of The Goddard School in Melissa, Texas, with Amanda serving as the on-site owner. This school is their second location in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area, following the successful opening of the Allen location, which was the first Goddard School in North Texas over 16 years ago. The Snowman family includes four children: Katie, a recent graduate in Education from Texas State University; Jack, who works in IT and serves as an F-16 Crew Chief in the Air Force Reserves; and Samantha and Kimberly, both college graduates who are now building their own careers. John and Amanda share, “Having the best school, the best teachers, and the best educational program is incredibly rewarding to us as parents. We are honored to serve the children as we watch this generation blossom into fine young people!” They are excited to continue their journey in Melissa, Texas, and look forward to becoming a cherished part of the local community.
