Meet Vanessa

Owner

I have been a part of early childhood education for the past 14 years with experience in not just teaching and directing but also in the development of science and early reading enrichment programs for young children that are geared towards building a strong foundation for future success. i am extremely passionate about working with young children and my goal is to provide a safe nurturing and loving environment in which children can explore their full potential through hands-on, interactive methods of learning, whilst building strong social relationships and connections. I have a background in business administration and have established a successful cultural organization where children can immerse themselves in different programs like performing arts, music, coding etc thus enhancing their education.

I absolutely love the infant classroom teachers and all the employees are great and friendly. I've observed other teachers help out on the other rooms whenever it's needed and I think that shows a lot of teamwork and speaks volumes for the school and their dedication to providing care. They are always responsive and work extremely hard to keep our kiddos happy and safe.

The Goddard School has been doing a phenomenal job at teaching my little ones. They are so smart and have really learned SO much in school. My 3 year old can even recite the Pledge of Allegiance. In infants, they were even teaching them sign language. I would honestly recommend the Goddard School over any other school in the area. The teachers are engaging and honestly care about the children. The kids feel loved and cared for all while learning in a safe environment.

It has been an incredible experience at the school. My youngest who in enrolled enjoys every day. The teachers clearly love him and all the kids. They are always thinking of exciting activities. Additionally when out oldest comes in she is welcomed and engaged just the same. Its a wonderful feeling of community. That feeling builds trust and collaboration.

Owner of the school is great and very responsible. The teacher and supervisor is very nice and friendly. The school facilities is good, they are the only school has the big umbrella outside to cover most of the ground. The only thing not perfect is they don’t have refrigerators in classroom.
