Cathi & Ray are the owners of The Goddard School in Noblesville and proud parents of 4 children, ages 32 to 16. Their commitment to the families and children at this school is obvious to all who enter. Cathi is on site every day, and the children love to see her visit their classrooms and exchange hugs!

Their philosophy from the very beginning has been to create a program that meets the wants and goals parents have for their children. Constant growth can be seen as parents get to actively participate in the growth with their opinions, suggestions, and even critiques. Ray and Cathi wanted a program that would meet all their goals for their children, and what has evolved is absolutely wonderful!
