Meet Kristin Owner

Kristin is thrilled to provide The Goddard School's outstanding program to the families in the community. Both of Kristin's children attended a Goddard School since they were infants. Her daughter, Olivia was in the first graduating class of the Dedham School! Our family chose The Goddard School because of the focus on health and safety and the commitment to a nurturing learning environment. My husband Pete and I live in Dedham with our two children - Olivia and Tommy and our Golden Retriever Gus! On the weekends, you can find me at the Dedham fields watching my kids play! I am excited to offer the same preschool experience my children received to the families in our community.
