Our Goddard School Teachers

My husband and I are parents of two children and recognize the importance of a safe and nurturing learning environment. I am happy to be able to provide Goddard's outstanding program to the children in the community. I have earned my Bachelor's Degree in Home Science from S.N.D.T University of Mumbai with a major in Textiles and Clothing and minor in a number of fields including Early Childhood Development. Also, I have earned the State of Maryland Certification in Early Childhood Development. My experience with children comes from having children of my own, operating my own childcare business in my home for over a decade. I am excited and proud to be a part of The Goddard School and am committed to providing the highest quality preschool experience for the children in the neighborhood.
