Joelymar
Ms. Joely has been with The Goddard School since 2023. 2025 is very special because it will be her first year coming back as a mom and lead teacher in the Infant Program. Her journey in pursuing her Bachelors and Master's in early childhood education will finish at Hunter college. At home, Joely is a proud aunt of eight kiddos, one of them being autistic. Her love and dedication on helping him achieve his milestones made her realize that that’s what she loved to do. She helped him with sign language, pronouncing words in Spanish and English, sing, dance and eventually letting him do all that on his own. Seeing his growth and happiness just makes me happy and that’s what I want to do for other children. In her free time, she loves to walk her puppy Jeyko, go to parks and watch movies. She is so happy to be part of The Goddard School and can’t wait to see everyone's success.
