Meet Kristen On-Site Owner
I am extremely proud to be the on-site owner & operator of The Goddard School at Horsham. I’ve been a part of the school since 2011and I'm deeply dedicated to creating a high-quality early childhood experience for every family that walks through our doors. My husband, Patrick and I live in Warrington along with our sons, Patrick and Cullen-both Goddard Horsham graduates! Seeing the positive impact that The Goddard School had on my own sons' academic and social-emotional development deepens my commitment to creating a thriving learning environment for all children. As a graduate of Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Elementary Education and over 20 years of experience in early childhood, I believe these years are foundational. I am passionate about creating a safe and stimulating learning environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. I look forward to sharing many positive experiences and memories with your family as we embark on this exciting journey together.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
What we like: The curriculum The teachers and assistants The structure provided to the kids The effort put into protecting the kids during the pandemic What we don’t like: Nothing
Our son has had a wonderful experience at Goddard! The teachers have been fantastic and their effort can be seen in how much my son has learned in his time at the school. The administration is professional but also personable with our family.
Everything! The whole staff is fantastic, we could not ask for a better school. During these crazy times everything was handled perfectly and we feel very comfortable sending Liam every day.
It feels like an extension of our family. I can be comfortable knowing my children are loved and cared for while I work.
