We have lived in the Chicagoland area for the last 25 years. We have two grown up professional children and our two grandsons go to The Goddard School in the Boston area. We were very impressed with how they were being groomed by the Goddard educational framework and that motivated us to explore potential Goddard schools. Both of us had reached a career point in our lives where we realized we were ready for a meaningful career change and the Goddard connection of our grandkids and our exposure to the Goddard philosophy of fostering the love of learning in a safe nurturing environment was a trigger and here we are ready to continue providing quality education experience to your child. I have a Master’s degree in Political Science and a Bachelor’s degree in education. I have worked in the banking and education fields and have a special interest in the childcare field. I have been an accomplished middle school teacher in Lake County. During my husband's global assignments, I have owned and run childcare centers globally and am very excited to own a Goddard School to contribute to integrated development of your child.

We love Chicago and have lived here ever since we moved from Canada in 1994. During my professional career and because of expat global assignments, we have moved in Canada, Europe, middle-east, and Asia Pacific countries, and have lived in and visited 50+ countries. The last company I worked for was Accenture where I was the Managing Director of Global Alliance Sales for 16 years. A stage came in our life where a new direction was needed and running our own business made a lot of sense. The choice of Goddard was a no brainer since both of us are passionate about childcare educaiton and Goddard is one of the premier brands in the USA. I have a double MBA from India and Canada each and have done post MBA professional development courses at Kellogg School of Northwestern University. Kumud and I are proud to own a Goddard franchise.
