Meet Paul Owner

Welcome to the Goddard School. I am Paul Dandona the owner of the Goddard School in Bloomingdale Illinois. I am proud to be associated with the wonderful programs Goddard has to offer. As the parent of two children, I recognize the importance of a safe and nurturing learning environment. In fact, our daughters attended a Goddard School and I enjoyed being a Goddard dad so much that I wanted to be a part of offering the same positive experience to other families. I use my leadership skills to successfully manage day to day operations of the school in conjunction to taking the elements of learning at our school to the next level. I want to welcome all of our families to our school.
