Our Goddard School Teachers

My name is Sohela Ali and I am the proud owner of the Goddard School of Flower Mound, Texas. I am thrilled to be a part of the Flower Mound community. I am not just the owner here at Goddard, I am also a mom of two amazing adult children and a wife to my loving husband Mir Ali. My journey into the world of childcare began by working at a pediatrician office for over a decade, and eventually taking a job as a General Manager in a pediatric setting as well. My dream of owning my own educational facility became my reality in 2023. This journey is incredibly close to my heart, as it allows me to combine my passion for child development with my love for the community. At Goddard we are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I am excited and deeply honored to welcome your family to join the Goddard School of Flower Mound, Texas. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education and well-being.
