Owner
Before parenthood, I was involved in advertising and marketing. As my quest for quality childcare became nearly impossible for my two children, I committed myself to creating my own school in 1997. After four years of site searching and development, The Goddard School in Portland opened with 116 students on the roster in October, 2001. Now, my children are adults but I have my community to serve for many more years.

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.
