About Goddard Windward Owners

Our on-site owner and operator, Jenna Ellis, is on-site daily and active in all aspects of Goddard Windward. She is a former public school teacher turned preschool teacher who transitioned into management due to noticing a lack of support for teachers BY teachers in Early Childhood Education leadership teams. Here at Goddard Windward, we are a teacher-focused school. 
Goddard Windward has won a plethora of awards (including Best Preschool in Alpharetta for YEARS!) based on our teaching teams, leadership team and community involvement. Jenna has been with Goddard Windward since 2013 and both of her children are graduates. She brought her husband, Zach, on board in 2019 creating a truly family-run and family-focused environment that allows for our teachers to be supported.
