• Meenu

  I am very excited and proud to be the owner of the Goddard School located in Dallas. As a mother of two children, I recognize the importance of a safe and nurturing learning environment. I first discovered Goddard in 2003, when I was looking for a preschool for my oldest son. The quality of education offered at Goddard school combined with our personal experience enabled us to choose Goddard. My husband and I believe that a quality Early Childhood education helps in providing a strong foundation for every child.

• Ms Angela

  Hello! My name is Angela Davis, and I am the Executive Director at The Goddard School of Dallas. I have been working in Early Education for 28 years, during which time I taught all age groups, including GA Pre-K and summer camp. In 2004, I moved into management, where I have found my passion as a preschool director for the past 22 years. As the Executive Director of The Goddard School of Dallas, I take great pride that our center strives for excellence and quality in early childhood education. My favorite part of being a supervisor is that I follow my passion for educating young children and mentoring other ECE professionals along the way. I believe in providing a safe and secure environment for all families, children, and staff members. Each child that enters our Goddard doors should feel at home and be able to use their imagination and curiosity throughout the day.

• Ms Chelsea

  Hi, I'm Chelsea Holder, the Lead Teacher in the Wildcats class! I’ve been in early childhood education for over 15 years, including 4 years as a preschool teacher—and I’ve loved every minute of it! From being a nanny and traveling homeschool teacher to leading summer camps and teaching art, I’ve worn many hats and loved helping kids learn and grow in all kinds of ways. I studied Elementary and Art Education at Athens State University and bring lots of creativity, energy, and heart to the classroom. Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, I now call Villa Rica home with my sweet pups and my fiancé. Outside of school, you’ll find me crafting, camping, exploring outdoors, traveling, or chasing thrills at theme parks!

• Ms Jennifer

  Hi, my name is Jennifer Clark. I love working with young children. It is rewarding to see their smiling faces when they learn something new. They love to share what they learned with their peers and the excitement in them is what I love most. It is heartwarming to me when children are excited about reading, and I never say no when they ask to bring a book to share to the class. I have a variety of my own children’s books, but my favorite books are the Dr. Seuss books. They have so many different messages and the kids love to see all the different characters that are in his books.

  I am Myiesha and I care for and educate our little babies! As a mother, I believe you are your child's #1 role model, and their teacher is a close second. As a teacher, I take this responsibility very seriously. I take great pride in the quality of care that I offer our babies and strive to meet every need with love and joy.

  Hi! My name is Rachel. I have worked in childcare since 2021 and came to The Goddard School of Dallas in 2023, working as an Assistant Teacher. In 2024 I was promoted to Lead Teacher in Rattlers and have served in this role ever since. I struggled with reading when I was growing up so I am passionate about making sure we have plenty of story time in our daily schedule in hopes that it encourages a love of reading in my students. I believe my students and I help each other grow a little every day! Outside of being a teacher, I am an artist, a mystery-book reader, animal-lover and outdoors-enthusiast.

  I am honored to be the Kindergarten Lead Teacher at the Dallas Goddard School! I love art and one of my favorite parts of being in the classroom is watching our students learn that every one of them is an artist as well. In my free time I enjoy writing and illustrating.

• Ms Kelle Hope

  Hello! My name is Hope Lord. I’ve been happily married for 25 years and am the proud mom of two wonderful daughters, now 20 and 17. Our family has called Dallas, GA home since 2005. After raising my own children, I discovered how much joy I find in early childhood development. I spent two years providing private, in-home care and have now been working in professional childcare for another two years. These experiences have deepened my commitment to creating a safe, nurturing space where every child’s first adventures in learning and exploration are encouraged. I believe in meeting babies at their level, following their curiosity, cheering on their milestones, and helping them grow through play, routine, and gentle guidance. Partnering with parents so children feel supported both at home and in my care is my top priority. I look forward to getting to know your family and being part of your child’s exciting first chapters!
