  My name is Chelsea Ford and I am ecstatic to be the onsite owner/operator of The Goddard School in Oak Point! I have been married to my husband Patrick for 8 years and we have two young children. We are originally from Arkansas but have resided in the North Dallas area for nearly 6 years now. We are proud to call Texas our home! I have been a pediatric Occupational Therapist for 10 years including extensive experience as a curriculum coordinator within preschool administration.

I love providing a loving and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow in all areas of development. It is my greatest joy to bring The Goddard School to our area to best serve our families. Come learn about our state-of-the-art facility, proprietary curriculum, and quality standards of care.
