• Ms Jennifer

  Ms. Jenn, as the children call her, opened The Goddard School in Steiner Ranch in 2014. Jenn received her Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies at Texas A&M University (whoop!) and has almost a decade of teaching experience ranging from preschool to 2nd grade. She recognizes how important it is for families to have a safe and nurturing learning environment for their children. Jenn would like to extend an invitation to you and your family to visit her beautiful school, introduce you to their tenured faculty, and tell you all about the Goddard approach to learning. "I am excited and proud to be a part of The Goddard School and am committed to providing the highest quality preschool experience for the children in the neighborhood!”
