Meet Melvise

Owner

I am the proud on-site owner of The Goddard School in Hanover. I graduated from North Carolina A&T State University with a Bachelors degree in Electronic and Computer Technology and a Masters degree in Technology Education with a concentration in Education. Prior to on-site ownership, I served as an Assistant Principal in Montgomery County Public Schools. I am the mother of a 10-year old daughter and a 5-year old son, a recent Goddard Hanover Graduate. I am excited to create educational experiences for Goddard students and build community with my Goddard families.

The owners do a great job of hiring staff members who truly care. There is certainly an educational factor at Goodard that I don't believe other preschools/day cares have which is a huge plus! Lastly, the environment is great and gives a real sense of community in each classroom.

Kevin's Father

Pre-K Classroom

Teachers genuinely care about my son, which makes it easier to leave him in their care while I’m at work. Teachers communicate often with us if they are concerned about something.

Griffin's Mother

Infant Classroom

I can tell my child is learning a lot within weeks of her starting there. The staff and teachers are great. They recognize you and always make sure your questions are always answered.

Aliya & Isaac's Mother

My husband and I are very pleased with the care our children receive at the Goddard School of Hanover. It is obvious that the children are not only having fun but are also learning new information and skills. The staff and teachers are friendly and helpful.

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!
