Poonam
Poonam is so happy to be part of The Goddard School! Like many parents, Poonam found it challenging to find the right school for her daughter, Romy—one where she would thrive. A strong advocate for early childhood education, Poonam believes the early years shape who a child becomes. When they couldn’t find a school that fully met their standards, Poonam and her husband Anand decided to create the kind of school they had been searching for. They were drawn to Goddard’s high standards in education, health, and safety, and loved the Wonder of Learning curriculum, which encourages curiosity through play and exploration. They chose Greenpoint for its strong sense of community and family-centered feel. Inspired by their daughter, they built a warm, nurturing school rooted in trust, inclusivity, and connection—where families feel supported and children grow into confident, curious learners. This is the kind of school they envisioned for their own child—and for every child in this community.
