Owner
My name is Samantha Metzler and I am the Owner. I opened The Goddard School located in Fenton in May 2000. I attended Meramec and Webster University straight out of high school then focused my education in business at Dale Carnegie School of Business. I have an extensive background in Administration and Business Management. I am an avid reader and love most sports. My favorite Sunday pastime is watching football. I am married with two children, Dalton and Hanna. I am also an active member of the Fenton community. I truly enjoy seeing our Goddard graduates thrive in the educational system.

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

I always feel like my children are safe and cared for. I believe that the Goddard in Fenton is always trying to stay current with their practices, and that they are always investing back into the school. Over the past two and a half years I've watched them continually improve the facilities and the curriculum. While I have certain favorite teachers who I believe are a class above others, I am very satisfied with the entire teaching staff.

I cannot recommend The Goddard School of Fenton enough! Everyone is so incredibly kind and you can tell they truly care about the kids and their families. My son has been there a year and has blossomed and learned so much, thanks to his amazing teachers Ms. Rachel and Ms. Kim! We are so grateful to be apart of the Goddard community!

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!
