Our Teachers

Kumud and her family are excited to provide The Goddard School’s outstanding program to the children and families of our community. Their vision to own a Goddard School started with the experience of their 2 older children attending Goddard schools. Their youngest son attends The Goddard School currently. The Goddard school has established itself as a premier institution nationwide with strong emphasis on providing a safe and nurturing environment for learning. Since taking the ownership of the School in 2019, Kumud has passionately worked with parents and staff by taking their feedback on increasing capabilities and resources for the school so everyone is getting the support they need. Kumud has her Masters in Business Administration from Boston University. She has worked in the corporate world of Finance for over 15 years and is currently taking Early Childhood Education courses to continually learn and feed her passion in this field.
