Owner
My name is Payal Talsania and I am the proud owner of The Goddard School® located in Wilmington, DE. My husband and I have two children, Ariana and Rishabh. My relationship with the Goddard Systems began when we enrolled Ariana in other Goddard School®. As a parent of two, I understand value and benefits of quality early education. I truly understand the importance of having a place that you feel is safe and loving for your children to learn and grow. Hence, I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for your children to become confident learners as they develop.

We LOVE Goddard so much. Not only has our son truly thrived under their instruction, it is clear every time we arrive at school that he is loved and care for by each member of the staff. They all know his name and remember his interests. The administrators are so accommodating and personal. He has had one great teacher after the next. Thank you Goddard!!
