KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - Oct. 8, 2014 // PRNewswire // - Goddard Systems, Inc. (GSI), the franchisor of The Goddard School® preschool system, announced today its newest school is opening in Sienna Plantation, Texas. Located at 6111 Sienna Ranch Road in Missouri City, the new school is owned by Sudhir and Suzie Parihar. In honor of the Houston area school's opening, the community is invited to a grand opening celebration on Saturday, October 18.

"I know from personal experience with our three young children the impact high quality education can make on families," said Sudhir, who is the Sienna Plantation on-site owner. "Further, I am anxious to combine my business background and passion for early childhood education in this new venture to benefit the entire community."

The grand opening festivities at The Goddard School located in Sienna Plantation will be held from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Saturday, October 18. At the celebration, families will enjoy pumpkin painting, mask decorating, games, prizes and other fall activities. Families who enroll during this event will receive free registration for children.

Prior to becoming a Goddard School franchisee, Sudhir was with Motorola as a business development manager and is an electrical engineer by degree. He and his family first became aware of The Goddard School when searching for local childcare centers for their own children and toured a school in Illinois. They were impressed with every aspect of that school and felt a desire to own a school to operate their own business and impact their community. Sudhir's wife, Suzie, owns and operates The Goddard School located in Pearland, Texas that has been open since 2009; she will also be on-site part time at the Sienna Plantation school.

Sudhir and Suzie's three young children have all attended The Goddard School and their youngest, age 4, is a current Pre-K student. The family enjoys road trips, movies and swimming together. Sudhir is also a member of and volunteers at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The Goddard School preschool system operates on a dual-management system, distinctive in the early childhood education industry. Each location is managed on-site by the franchise owner, as well as an educational director responsible for working with teachers and implementing the curriculum. This separation and clear delineation of roles has resulted in The Goddard School preschool system's success and high satisfaction ratings for more than 25 years.
