Introducing myself as Monica Khurana, the owner and on-site operator, I welcome you to The Goddard School of Morrisville. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and many years of experience working in Management. Having raised 2 kids while working full time, I understand the need for a caring, nurturing and trusting place for your children. I come from a family of educators, and believe that creating strong educational foundation for children in early years is necessary for their future academic success. Our goal at The Goddard School of Morrisville is to provide a premium program that provides the foundations in social, emotional, and intellectual development led by highly qualified teachers in a safe, nurturing environment. A child care experience is not only an experience for a child but for the entire family, and we look forward to making your family’s experience at our school a memorable one.
