  • Mr Dave

    Dave Collins and his wife Jen are the onsite owners of The Goddard School located in Edgewater, MD. When building this state-of-the-art school, they stuck by their passions for instilling education and exceptional character in children at the earliest age. At Goddard, we believe that who a child becomes is just as important as what they know. This "character development" is something that the Collins' hold dear to the hearts of their own 4 boys and look forward to developing with your children too! Mr. Dave graduated from Saint Michael's College with degrees in elementary education and psychology. He started off his career teaching at the elementary level in upstate New York. Mr. Dave then managed the training Department at Sylvan Learning Centers and helped Goddard Schools build and execute high-quality programs in schools across the nation. Jen has a Masters Degree in Elementary Education and currently teaches 4th grade but helps to guide the school’s curriculum.
