Meet Courtney Owner

Welcome to The Goddard School in Millersville! Hi! I’m Courtney, the On-Site Owner at The Goddard School in Millersville. I have been with the school since it’s opening in 2014 and have been working in childcare since my high school years. Over time, I have held several positions from teacher to director and now owner. Throughout my career, I have earned an associate and bachelor’s degree, hold a level 6 Maryland Credential, and am the President of the Anne Arundel County Chapter of the Maryland State Child Care Association. At home, I am a wife and mom of 2. As a family, we enjoy trips to the beach, camping, and being outdoors! Here at the Millersville location, we strive to provide quality child care. We are accredited through the Maryland State Department of Education and participate in our state’s quality improvement rating system called Maryland EXCELS. We are committed to standards of excellence while continuously seeking ways to improve.
