Our Goddard School Teachers

As the parent of 2 young children, I believe that education should start at an early age, and hence recognize the importance of providing children an opportunity to grow through exploration and hands-on learning in a safe and nurturing learning environment – which is why I chose the Goddard philosophy. This pre-school truly is a campus as opposed to your typical childcare center. It features an indoor gym in addition to three separate secure playgrounds with specialized surfacing to allow children to immerse themselves in multiple hand-on activities. During a tour of our facility, you can see these and many other features that make our program so special. From an education perspective, I have a Bachelor’s in Engineering as well as an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Management, Arizona State University, followed by 20+ years of experience in hi-tech working with Fortune 50 companies i.e. Microsoft.
