Meet Kara Owner
Ms. Kara is the on-site owner at The Goddard School in Towson. Ms. Kara’s background with Goddard dates back to 2012 where she was originally employed at our sister school in White Marsh. She decided to broaden her experience in administration at our other sister school in Middle River where she has been a director since 2016. She has also had the pleasure to serve our Early Childhood Education community by teaching the qualifying coursework for budding early childhood educators at CCBC- Essex Campus. Outside of her professional experience, she has her bachelor’s degree in Family & Human Services from Towson University, her master’s degree in School Counseling from Walden University, and she is currently an education fellow at UMBC studying Early Childhood Educational Leadership. Ms. Kara looks forward to building relationships with all of the Towson Goddard families and continuing to create a safe environment where the children can learn and explore their creativity.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
Amazing care from day one and beyond. I have no doubt what my children have learned there will benefit them for many years to come!
Everyone is so thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely seems to care. We appreciate how easy communication has been with everyone at Goddard and I’ve felt so comfortable calling with questions while also trusting that my son is in good hands and well taken care of.
I love feeling like the teachers and staff love my kids. Every day my children enjoy and look forward to going to school. I feel confident that my kids are not only cared for and having fun, but also developing critical life skills. It's a friendly environment.
I love the whole team, the curriculum, the building, the special events, you name it. Our first born spent her first year with her grandparents, and began at Goddard right after her first birthday. Her little sister had to start before she turned six months. If she couldn’t spend her first year with family, Goddard is the next best thing. The teachers in infant classrooms are wonderful.
Wow. The Goddard School Towson does such a great job. The staff is warm and welcoming. They are a machine of efficiency and professionalism. Highly recommend. Two children, ages 4 years and 4 months attending.
We love the school, teachers and program! We have been so impressed with how well the school is run and how wonderful the teachers and staff are!
Friendly and loving staff, a curriculum that promotes personal growth, and a clean, safe environment.
We really love how friendly the staff is. Everyone seems to know who our son is when we walk in and that really makes us feel comfortable leaving him in Goddards care.
