Meet Pallavi Owner

I am excited to be the on-site owner of The Goddard School of Burlington. I have a bachelor’s degree in Management Information System from Thomas Edison State College. As a mother of three, I believe that all families want a safe, healthy, nurturing environment with an educational focus for their children. My husband, Tushar graduated from NJIT with a master’s degree in Engineering. Although he enjoys being an engineer his father was a school principal and his mother was a teacher so Tushar grew up with a love for education and we are both so very proud to be able to carry on their love of teaching. We look forward to working with all the great families in the area and invite you to visit our school to learn more about our vision and the Goddard philosophy.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Our Goddard school is amazing. They have very friendly owners, directors and teachers - and everybody is very engaged with my children. The play based learning curriculum is great as well - my kids love to go everyday and learn so much. The facility is well kept, cleaned regularly and safe.

James & Noah's Father

Preschool Classroom

Our children have attended this school for 16-years. Pallavi is an amazing Operator and runs a tight ship. Her efforts clearly show in her staff. Our daughter is happy, healthy and loves to go to school. Thank you Goddard for giving our family a place to laugh, learn and grow!

Joseph Tony & Leah & Danica's Mother

Goddard Graduate

The owner is very hands on with the children, as is the director. They both go out of their way to make a connection with the kids to help them feel comfortable. They give detailed updates during the day as to what the children are working on along with pictures. The lessons are well thought and planned and provided to the parents, which allows for a continuation of the content and conversation at home. The school is professional and the staff is kind. We would recommend this school highly.

Eliza & Leah's Mother

Infant Classroom

Very comforting environment, very welcoming. Has a nice family feel. Good communication about how your child is doing. Very open and easy to speak with. Makes you feel at ease that your child is in good hands throughout the day. The education program is great and my child is learning so much! Staff are all friendly and approachable. Always willing to speak with you about any questions you may have. Highly recommend!

I love how they make you feel like family. The staff is very professional and friendly. The facility is kept very clean and there are precautions and protocols in place during Covid to keep your child and your family safe.

Araceli's Mother

Summer Program

Our experience with the Goddard school has been excellent. My son can be a handful in the mornings when we drop him off, and the kindness of the teachers and aids always calms him down so he has a good day. We love receiving the pictures and reports during the day via Tadpoles.

Mason's Father

Toddler Classroom

I like that every aspect of the school is inviting, from a child point of view to the parents dropping them off. I am comfortable dropping my child off each day knowing that she will get the best care, and that she is actually learning. I love the updates of pictures during the day of what my daughter is doing.
