Our Teachers

Michael and Lisa are extremely proud to be on-site owners at the Goddard School in Blue Bell. They are thrilled to carry on a rich tradition of education, exploration, and strong socialization skills at our Goddard school. This school is truly unique in many ways. As parents to two children, Michael and Lisa understand the importance of early childhood education and providing children with a safe nurturing environment. Many of our teachers have extremely long tenures at the school and that is truly a testament to the culture we have built. As the onsite owners, Michael and Lisa are committed to giving our children and our teachers a high-quality environment in which to learn and work. Michael is a graduate of Temple University with a degree in communication and Lisa is a graduate of Ryder University with a degree in communications. As on-site owners we engage with parents daily and encourage feedback. Contact us today to find out what truly makes us a unique and special school.
