Meet Paul and Natalie

On-site Owner
Paul and Natalie's background are a blend of education and business management. Paul is a graduate of Concordia University where he completed his B.S. in Business and went on to pursue a Masters in Education. Paul worked for many years as a High School Language Arts Teacher. His graduate program in literacy and thesis research reinforced the extreme importance of the first several years of life in terms of long-term learning and academic success. He was looking for a way to make an impact at the earlier ages. That journey led him to Goddard. Natalie holds a Bachelor's Degree from Portland State University in Child and Family Studies and Early Childhood Education. She previously worked for over a decade as a substitute teacher for local school districts. Paul and Natalie are the proud parents of 4 boys ages 11-17. We believe very strongly that our school is the highest quality educational experience in our area. We are proud to be a part of it.

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

i like many things about Goddard, the curriculum, the level of interaction with each child. The fact that the teachers and owners know almost every child and parent by name. That there is a safe (secure) learning environment where I can leave my child and know that she is getting a positive and well rounded age appropriate curriculum filled with loads of play as well as education.

I appreciate the holistic approach to learning - that curiosity is encouraged and that each child's individual perspective is celebrated - all while using scientific and educational principles that will help these developing minds and bodies thrive in our complex world.

It is definitely a learning environment, where the children have fun. I feel my child is in school versus being babysat.

What Teachers Mean to Me

Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!
