Our Goddard School Teachers

Welcome to the Goddard School®! We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and share with you a little about who we are and how we came to The Goddard School®. Madhu’s family established many schools in Delhi, India. They created learning opportunities for many children who didn’t have access to education. As Mathematics and Early Childhood Teachers Akhil’s parents helped many children experience a better life. As a successful business executive, Madhu has spent her career putting clients and colleagues needs first. At the same time, Akhil has proudly served as an executive for the Department of Defense. Our family includes a son and daughter who attended medical and engineering school. As on-site owners of The Goddard School®, our emphasis will be to provide a loving and nurturing environment to help your child’s learning and development. Sincerely, Madhu and Akhil Govil Owners

Ms. Linda joined The Goddard School in the winter of 2024 and brings over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, with the last 10 years as a Preschool Director. She has been happily married for 29 years and is a proud mom to two grown sons. Working with children brings her so much joy, and she is passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child can grow, learn, and thrive. She believes it is a privilege to partner with families during these important early years, and is committed to helping each child feel valued, supported, and excited about learning.

Ms. Amanda has been with Goddard since February of 2022 and has over 10 years of experience in Early Childhood Education; 8 years of experience as a Director and holds a degree in Early Childhood Development as well as a college credential in Childcare Administration. When asked what makes her love the job she does, she believes that the earliest years are the most important for setting the foundation for lifelong learning, social development and confidence. Amanda strives to be part of that critical beginning, helping children grow through curiosity and play while also supporting teachers, families and the community. In her personal time, Ms. Amanda makes lasting memories with her four children.

I have been with The Goddard School for the past 14 years and I have been working in education for many years. I love working with children. They bring me joy and purpose. Teaching is my passion and I truly enjoy getting to know our young students. For fun, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my grandson.
