Bios

• Mrs Robin

  Hello, my name is Robin Ray and my husband, Ted, and I are the proud owners of The Goddard School® located on Old Atlanta Road in Suwanee. We have been Goddard School owners since 2000. Our twin boys, Austin and Tyler, are both graduates of Goddard. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Management Information Systems. Before opening our first Goddard School, I worked in Information Technology for 15 years. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing tennis. While pregnant with my twins over 24 years ago, I recognized the need and demand for a quality alternative to standard daycare. We then decided to open The Goddard School®. Our mission here is to offer the absolute best in high quality childcare and education. Being an on-site owner, I welcome your comments and concerns. Thank you for the opportunity to share in your child’s growth and early childhood development.
