On Site Owner
Ms. Harvey has worked with the Goddard School since 2010. She obtained her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Hood College. She began her Goddard career at the Goddard School in Gaithersburg as a teacher in the Early Preschool program and continued into the Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs. In 2013, she made the move to administration and proudly opened the Goddard School in Silver Spring in 2015. Ms. Harvey also has three sons all of whom have attended/ are attending the Goddard School in Silver Spring! As a parent as well as an educator, she knows the benefit children gain from a phenomenal early education program. They are not only gaining academic skills, but also the social and emotional preparation to be ready to "take on the world" as they head to "big kid" school and the world! She proudly accepts the Maryland Child Care Scholarship and MoCo Working Parents Assistance Program, working with families to ensure all children access quality early education.

What Teachers Mean to Me

Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!
