Owner
Welcome to the Goddard School®! We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and share with you a little about who we are and how we came to The Goddard School®. Madhu’s family established many schools in Delhi, India. They created learning opportunities for many children who didn’t have access to education. As Mathematics and Early Childhood Teachers Akhil’s parents helped many children experience a better life. As a successful business executive, Madhu has spent her career putting clients and colleagues needs first. At the same time, Akhil has proudly served as an executive for the Department of Defense. Our family includes a son and daughter who attend medical and engineering school. As on-site owners of The Goddard School®, our emphasis will be to provide a loving and nurturing environment to help your child’s learning and development. Sincerely, Madhu and Akhil Govil Owners

Kindergarten Classroom
I would recommend The Goddard School because I trust the staff. Ms. Lydia, Ms. Courtney and Ms. Ryan have been nothing but accommodating. They show they care and I know I can trust to leave my son in their care and he will be in great hands.
Demetrius & Nalani's Mother
Before/After School Program
Our teacher makes sure that the parents are aware of the assignments that were discussed in school and sends home the worksheets which allow us to go over it with our child. This reinforces the lesson and helps when it’s testing time. Vocabulary, reading, and understand multiple areas from language, math, and science has been a major shift and we are appreciative.

Ms. Keana and the rest of the Goddard school have been wonderful. Since we enrolled our daughter in the school, she has come back happier and surprised us with the knowledge she has gained.
