Hello, and welcome to our webpage! My name is Ms. Goto and I will be your child’s Kindergarten teacher this year. This is my 7th year in Kindergarten, and my 3rd year teaching in Japan. I was born in Boston, MA., but grew up in Yokosuka, Japan. I lived in Japan for 7 years and moved to Hawai'i in 2004 to attend college at University of Hawai'i at Manoa. I received my degree in elementary education and special education. I went to back to Japan in 2008 and taught at an international preschool in Tokyo. After about a year, I moved to New York with my older sister and taught at a preschool in Brooklyn. In 2010, I decided to go back to Hawai'i and I received my masters in curriculum studies with an emphasis in early childhood education at UH Manoa. I decided it was time for a change so in 2016, I came to Philadelphia. I am so excited for this new adventure. I am excited to working with you and your child this year!
I have an 18th month old son, Keanu Neymar. He keeps me on my toes, but when I have some free time, I enjoy hiking, paddling, and kickboxing I love the beach and spending time with my family and friends. I also love traveling and meeting new people.
