Owner
We are Denise and Mitch Manders, proud owners of the Goddard School of West Carmel. Denise attended Indiana University (Bloomington) and received her Bachelors in Accounting and Finance. She started her career in public accounting and left corporate as an executive director in a Fortune 500 company. Mitch received his Masters of Accounting at Miami of Ohio, started his career in public accounting, and is currently the chief financial officer of a product fundraising company. We have three children – Evan (7 years old), Noah (5 years old) and Layla (2 years old) who keep us very busy throughout the year! As parents of the school, we recognized how important it is to create an environment of love and empowerment for the children and teachers. With our background in business, and our passion to make a difference for others, we were excited to start this new journey as owners of the school!
