Hi! My name is Maysyn. I have experience in early childhood education and have served as a lead teacher. I absolutely love helping your little ones grow, learn, reach their milestones, and build lasting friendships.

Building strong connections with your children not only helps me teach them more effectively but also creates a warm, loving, and positive environment where they feel safe and supported. I also value open communication with families and strive to make sure every parent feels comfortable reaching out with questions or concerns. Thank you for trusting us with the privilege of teaching and caring for your children here at The Goddard School!
