Anne
On - Site OwnerAs the on-site owner, I spent 15+ years in the Human Resource field after graduating from Old Dominion University with a B.S. in Education. However, it wasn’t until after the birth of our son, Connor we decided to open The Goddard School in Chesapeake, VA. I was struggling to find a quality school for my infant son so I could go back to work. I was looking for somewhere I would feel comfortable leaving him everyday and know that he was well cared for and in a safe learning environment. After an exhausting search I couldn’t find anywhere that met our standards so I began looking into opening my own school and came across The Goddard School franchise and I opened in Chesapeake in March 2005 and Virginia Beach in 2015! -
