Our Teachers

I earned my Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounting and Business, and prior to opening The Goddard School, I worked as an elementary school educator for the Cherry Creek School District. As a mother of two children, I recognize the importance of a safe, nurturing learning environment, which is why I chose The Goddard School. I am proud to offer the opportunity for children to grow through exploration and hands-on learning. I am thrilled to be able to provide a fun, play-based learning experience for the children in my community.

Hello, my name is Kayla, and I am thrilled to be the Director here at The Goddard School of Reunion. I am a dedicated and reliable childcare professional with over 10 years of experience in the field. From guiding children to be kind and independent to helping them develop a sense of self-assurance and implementing a daily routine, I’m passionate about teaching. I’m very family-oriented and spend much of my free time immersed in the outdoors. I also enjoy doing handiwork around the house, sipping on a cold brew and binge-watching true crime shows.

Hello, my name is Mrs. Claudia, and I'm so happy to be your child’s teacher! Every day with these kiddos is a new adventure, full of laughter, learning, and lots of fun. In our classroom, we love to sing songs, read stories, and explore new things together. Whether we're learning our ABCs, counting colorful blocks, or discovering the wonders of nature, there's always something exciting to do. Being a teacher is about so much more than just teaching though. It's about being a friend, a mentor, and a cheerleader for each and every child. I'm here to help your children learn and grow, to celebrate their successes, and to support them when things get tough. One of my favorite things about being a teacher is watching the children light up with excitement when they learn something new. Seeing that spark in their eyes reminds me why I became a teacher in the first place—to inspire and empower young minds. Let's make some wonderful memories together!

Hi! My name is Melanie, a passionate and dedicated bilingual toddler teacher who has always had a deep love for working with children. Born and raised in Colorado I developed a strong appreciation for diversity and languages from an early age. I take great pride in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive and grow. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing me to effectively communicate with children and families from diverse backgrounds. I believe in the power of language acquisition during the early years and strive to foster bilingualism and cultural awareness in our classroom. My teaching approach is centered around child-led learning and play-based exploration. While understanding that every child is unique and learns in their own way, I tailor our lessons to meet the individual needs and interests of each child. It delights me watching our students learn and grow, celebrating their achievements and milestones along the way.

Hello, my name is Evelynn. I graduated from Adams City High School and have a CDA credential. I am bilingual so I incorporate Spanish and English in the classroom. I have been at The Goddard School for 5 years now. Throughout my time here, I feel that I have grown and developed as a teacher. Some of my best qualities are patience and organization. I believe children learn best in an environment where there is structure and routine. My priority is to make each child feel loved, respected and heard so that they may grow in a positive environment full of opportunities. I treat each child as if they were my own because as a parent myself, I understand the importance of wanting the best for our children. If I am in a position to provide that same security to other parents, I will.

Hello, my name is Bre. I am a student at Front Range Community College, aspiring to obtain my certificate in Early Childhood Education. I have been employed here at The Goddard School for some time now and within that time I have found that everyday I learn more and more. I enjoy working with different age groups and watching their minds grow. In our classroom we will explore using different materials, learn from being messy, develop language skills together and work with hands-on projects. My teaching philosophy is that by doing physical activities and learning other skills in a way that is exciting to the children, this will help develop healthy growth while they are smiling and having fun. I’m excited to not only teach here but to get to know each child individually while guiding them through this important stage of their development.

I love taking care of people especially kids and elderly people, the ones that need more help.

I have a true passion for working with young learners and helping each child progress in all areas of their development, social, language, academic and motor. It is a big challenge, but I thrive and take honor in the job that I do. Consistency is something that I think is important in a child's development which I try to implement in our daily routine in the classroom. I also take pride in my ability to potty train. Ultimately, I believe that children are the true teachers. They show us how to be sincere, adventurous and compassionate. Even though I show up every day to teach, I'm the one who's learning from them.
