Owner
My name is Nancy Goss and I am the proud owner of the Goddard School in Mechanicsburg. I live within the local community with my husband Kenneth and our 4 amazing children Ashley, Emily, and our twins William and Alexis. My oldest Ashley started at my school when she was 10 months old and I decided to return to work as a pediatric nurse. I have always valued the care and education that the Goddard School family has provided. With my passion of working with children and our community I hold a strong belief that Early Childhood Education is a foundation for our future leaders. I'm committed to provide a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment for your children. Thank you for allowing me the privilege and honor to care for your children!
