Meet Juanita Onsite Owner
I am excited to be the Onsite Owner of The Goddard School Cool Springs! I began at The Goddard School as a Preschool Teacher in January 2010 and was promoted to the Administration Team in 2011. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Belmont University. My experience includes working with children ages infants to five years old children in preschool settings both in the United States and overseas since 2001. I believe every child and adult has worth and deserves someone in their corner who believes in them completely. My goal is a school where children and teachers can be themselves and learn in a fun environment where the teacher encourages a child's natural curiosity!
