Mr Kalis

I am the new owner of this Goddard School in Redmond, WA. Seattle has been my home now for close to 20 years. I have two exceptional children myself. My love for children and passion for education has inspired me to open a preschool. I have over three years of experience owning the Goddard school. I am also an avid volunteer in our schools and other community programs. Our mission at The Goddard School of Redmond is to provide a premium early childhood education while fostering each child's physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and moral development in a safe, nurturing, fun, and happy environment. I am committed to providing every child with a loving and caring atmosphere to support the development of strong character, self-esteem, confidence, creativity, and a life-long love of learning. I am also committed to partnering with every Goddard family, so your children can grow and learn in an equal and encouraging environment!

Ms Addison

Lead Teacher- Dalmatians I'm Addison. I earned my AA in ECE in June of 2025, and am eager share what I've learned here at Goddard. In a way, I've been working in the field my whole life as I have three younger siblings, whom I love. I also have younger cousins that I helped nanny for and volunteered at numerous events and in a pre-k classroom while earning my degree. My favorite part is getting to help children discover what they love to do and watch them come into themselves. I strongly feel learning is not something that can forced, but something they should seek out for themselves and want to do. Outside of Goddard, I love anything art: drawing, painting, writing, singing, dancing, music, cooking, etc. My hobbies include hiking and paddle boarding. I love eating anything cheese, and ANY kind of fruit! I want to go to Scotland one day. Fall is my favorite time of year, with Halloween being my favorite holiday.
Ms Alexis

Lead Teacher- Butterflies Hi, everyone, I'm Alexis! I'm currently working on my teaching certificate through an online college, and can't wait to use what I've learned in class. My whole life has been around kids with my big family, and I love them to death. I began teaching about four years ago, and decided to make a career out of my passion. My favorite part is the kids themselves, especially the different actions making everyday something new and unique. In my spare time, I love singing and dancing, and really loved visiting New York. Summer is my favorite season (I know, different from most people), though Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. If I have to pick a favorite food, it's got to be Korean. Love to see you and your kids soon!
