Meet Nicole

On-site Owner
Nicole, one of the school's on-site Co-Owners, grew up in the Cleveland suburb of Hudson, Ohio, and holds an Accounting degree from The Ohio State University. She relocated to Phoenix in 2002 and moved to Verrado in 2011 with her husband, where they now reside with their daughter, son, and their many pets. They are excited for their children to receive the same high-quality Goddard education that they have been providing to so many other West Valley children since 2009! Nicole's favorite children's book is "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss, and when she is not busy at the school, she enjoys hiking, reading, and riding her Peloton bike. She loves knowing that The Goddard School's safe and fun learning environment provides children with the confidence and foundation to help them attain their dreams.

LEARNING YOUR CHILD LOVES

We work tirelessly to ensure children thrive in a healthy, safe and warm environment. Within this secure and nurturing environment, children can discover their unique gifts.

Our programs go beyond academics and help children develop important social-emotional skills like kindness, empathy, responsible decision making and more.  

In our classrooms, creativity and curiosity blossom as children discover the wonder of learning. Through fun learning experiences (F.L.EX.®), your child will develop academic and social-emotional skills that will help them feel ready to take on the world.
