Meet Nirav

Owner
Nirav is a native to Long Island, who calls the village of Roslyn Heights his hometown. Born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, he attended Baruch College, NY. He graduated in 1999, majoring in Business Administration and Economics. After spending fifteen years in various, successful retail ventures, he decided to change directions. Following a lifelong passion for caring for children, he opened his first The Goddard School in Stony Brook. Nirav's goal was to have a high-quality childcare system that he had difficulty finding for his two kids. As a parent, Nirav strongly believes that every child has the potential to benefit the most in life. “Be the best person that you can be! My goal for children is to acquire a love for education, and gain a greater self-image of themselves.”

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Starting our first baby in daycare during COVID was tough but the staff at the Goddard School, Stony Brook are so amazing. We are greeted everyday with smiles and a warm welcome - it has made it so much easier seeing my baby LOVE going to school every day, even at 10 months! Communication with the owners and from the teachers is great!

Goddard school and their Summer Camp program is excellent! My kids absolutely love going to school because the teachers are great and so is the staff.

This is our third daycare in 5 years. It is by far the best (we have been at Goddard for almost 2 of these 5 years). Goddard is educational in a nurturing and fun environment. We are very pleased, as are our kids.
