Ricardo Ordaz - My wife Carla and I have been the proud owners of The Goddard School® located in Royersford, Pennsylvania, since June of 2011. We live in Chester Springs with our daughters Gabriela and Daniela, who are both graduates of The Goddard School.
We knew that we wanted to join The Goddard School community as we witnessed first-hand the excellent education both of our daughters received at Goddard. As a father, I recognize the importance of having a safe, happy, loving and nurturing preschool where you can send your child. This is the exact education my daughters received and that I want to provide your children.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. The majority of my background is in business, however, it has always been my dream to work with children. It is my goal to make a positive influence in the life of every student at The Goddard School.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to meeting you and your children. I welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have so that we can help our school grow.
