Our Teachers

On site Owner- Ms. Tana holds a Bachelor of Science from SDSU. She and her husband, Monish, are the parents of two young children. Both are being guided by professional teachers here at the Goddard School, as well as at another Goddard School close by, prior to our school being completed. Starting our own family is what brought us to a Goddard School as parents. A love for family and raising our two children brought us to the journey of opening our own Goddard School. As parents, we love the lifelong love of learning that is being instilled into our children, in a safe, nurturing and fun environment. We also love being able to provide this to other families as well.

My name is Nikayla and I'm the lead teacher in the Meerkat classroom. I have my high school diploma and a CDA certificate. I have many years of experience in childcare and shared two of them with Goddard. I love working with infants! My favorite part about working with them is providing a safe space and making a difference in their life! Watching all of my kids grow and learn while getting to be a part of their first milestone, and knowing that I played a role in those, reminds me why I became a teacher. In my free time, I enjoy shopping and spending time with my son, family, and friends!

Aaliyah is the Lead Teacher in our Tigers PreK room! She has an Associates' Degree in Elementary Education. She has 14 years in early childhood including teaching at a Preparatory Academy. She currently lives in Indianapolis, and she enjoys collecting Stranger Things memorabilia in her free time. She also loves reading and watching TV! Her favorite thing about working with children is "cuddling them and watching them learn!"

Shelby is the school Chef Manager! She has a Culinary Arts Degree Diploma, and has over 10 years experience in the culinary field. She currently lives in Indianapolis, and she enjoys running and reading and shopping online in her free time. Her favorite thing about working with children is how "unpredictable and silly they can be!"

My name is Haleigh and I am the teacher in the Bears classroom! I have been teaching for over a year now and i'm currently working on obtaining my CDA. In my free time, I love painting and going outside. My favorite children's book is How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight by Jane Yolen.
