Meet Chelsey Owner

I am the on-site owner of The Goddard School in Kent. After working many years in the Early Childhood field I decided to create my own career path that lets me continue my passion of working with children and Goddard was the perfect fit. Goddard’s philosophy encompasses everything I believe every child should have access to in their learning endeavors. A safe, hands on, child led, fun learning experience where children can be excited to come every day and learn to their highest potential with the support of professional educated teachers. I have a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington in Early Childhood and Family Development. I am excited to provide children a safe place to be themselves, explore, and ultimately learn and grow to become school ready, career ready, and life ready.
