Dolly & Monty Kalsi, Owner -
Welcome to our School. I’m Dolly Kalsi and I am the on-site owner here at The Goddard School® located in Bethlehem along with my husband Monty. We were Goddard parents several years ago, and came to love, trust and believe in the system, when our daughters, then 3 and 1, started at a Goddard School located in NJ. My job brought me to this part of the world, where I was appalled at the quality of childcare and early childhood education in the Valley at that time. I moved from different combinations of nanny, daycare, camp, etc. and became determined about bringing the Goddard standard and quality here. Recognizing the need and demand for a quality alternative to standard daycare, I decided to open The Goddard School. Stated simply, our mission here is to offer the absolute best in high quality childcare and education and we hope to bring you the same standards and quality in Early Childhood Education and care that we would expect for our children. Being an on-site owner, I welcome your comments and concerns. Thank you for the opportunity to share in your child’s growth and early childhood development.

Ms. Isabella Campbell -
I am thrilled to be part of The Goddard School as Executive Director! Over the past several years I have worked in the Early Childhood Development field as a teacher, mentor and director. Education is my passion and I believe we can teach all children to become smart, autonomous citizens. As a director, I value our relationships and will strive to build them on mutual respect, trust and collaboration. On a personal note, I grew up in Greece, moved to the US in my early teens, and have lived in the Philadelphia area ever since. I graduated in 2008 with a BA in Early Childhood & Elementary Education, and certification in Secondary Science. This past year has been very exciting as I recently married over the summer, and moved to a new home in Bethlehem! In our spare time, we enjoy music, painting and the outdoors.

Mrs. Marija Muncan, Assistant Director -
I am so happy to be a part of The Goddard School family since the School opened in August 2008. I started as Lead teacher in the Blue Moos classroom where I used my eight years of experiences working with children in Europe and here in the States to create new, diverse and safe ways for children to explore the world around them. Currently, I am the Assistant Director for our School and plan to implement lots of fun and creative activities throughout the year that will help our children grow and develop through play. I was born in Serbia where I obtained an A.A.S degree in Education. I moved to New York in September of 2000 and to Bethlehem Township in July of 2001 where I obtained an Early Childhood Education Certificate from Northampton Community College.
