Our Teachers

Hello! My name is Erin Anderson and I am so thrilled you are considering bringing your child to our school. My journey with Goddard started about 10 years ago in Colorado when my oldest attended a Goddard School while I attended nursing school. We fell in love with the academic and enrichment programs, and were disappointed when we relocated to Texas and found it difficult to find a school that matched the quality program we had at Goddard. After years of working in nursing, I eventually decided to shift my career focus into Early Childhood as a school nurse and quickly knew this was where my heart belonged. After giving birth to my 4th child, I decided it was time to bring my dreams to reality and bring a Goddard School to my community of New Braunfels. Our state-of-the-art facility and top notch staff are ready to welcome your family to our growing family. We can't wait to meet you!

I obtained my credentials through Goddard University and the State of Texas. I am passionate about fostering a nurturing environment where children can grow and learn, and I look forward to supporting our families and team with a positive and dedicated approach.

Hello families! I have been an early childhood educator for 11 years and truly enjoy fostering children's development. I hold a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies for EC-6th grade with a focus on ESL from UTSA. My teaching philosophy focuses on creating a student-centered environment that encourages natural curiosity and critical thinking. I aim to support each child's unique strengths and interests, fostering a love of learning through engaging and inclusive experiences. I'm a mom to a two-year-old boy and 2 stepchildren. In my free time, I'm usually outdoors-hiking, kayaking, tubing, camping, or running trails. I also enjoy reading, music concerts, country dancing, moto riding, and traveling!

Hey y’all! My name is Brittany and I have worked in the field of early childcare for 6 years.

I spend most of my spare time running my freelance design business or exploring new adventures in New Braunfels with my family.

I've been in the professional childcare setting since 2005. I'm multilingual and I've worked with ages up to 3 years old. I love seeing the children everyday, and the most enjoyable part of the day is seeing them smile and being well taken care of under my supervision. I really enjoy engaging the children, doing such things as singing, dancing, artwork, circle-time, stories, and just being silly and responsible with them. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my kids. I grew up in the Philippines and raised my kids there, I came to Texas to pursue all of our dreams.

Hello Goddard families! My name is Leigh Ashley, and I have been a New Braunfels resident for the past 2 1/2 years.

Hey there families, I'm Crystal! I've been with the Goddard School of New Braunfels for just over a year now. I have a 14-year-old daughter, who is especially a cool kid! I moved to Texas from California in June of 2022. When I made the move, I knew immediately that I wanted my career to be working with young children, which has always been a passion of mine. I am a strong believer that hugs are not just for booboos, sad faces, and tears, but also does wonders for all the big emotions littles get overwhelmed with. I love to make these munchkins laugh and smile! You'll probably see me using puppets, silly voices, and singing all day! I can't wait to meet and have a blast with your littles too!

I have worked with children my whole life it seems like, professionally I have worked for in childcare 10+ years.

To know I played a part in that means the world to me.

Most of that time was spent at a Goddard School located in Jax where I found my love for early childhood education.
