Meet Simmi & Sunny Owner

A strong foundation is critical in shaping us as individuals and guides us in all aspects and chapters of our lives. We believe the environment and curriculum a child is exposed to in the early years plays a pivotal role in their development, which is why we chose to start a Goddard School. We like to be involved in our community and enjoy sports, music, movies and travelling around the globe with our family. Sunny has a B.S. in Polymer Engineering and M.S. in Plastics Engineering from UMASS Lowell, he also has an MBA in Finance from Bryant University. Simmi has a B.S. in Computer Information Science from Johnson & Wales University. “Raising 3 kids we have seen firsthand the difference between at home care and a nurturing program Goddard offers. We are excited, proud and feel privileged to bring The Goddard School to Watertown, MA and are confident in providing the community and your family with the safest and highest quality preschool experience.”
