A Pakistani American Woman Owner of Goddard School Franchise and Her Story

LUWS - LightupwithShua Podcast

About Farzeen and Goddard School:

As an early childhood educator and mother of four, I have always been aware of the importance of Safe, Nurturing, Quality Education environments. It has long been my dream to open a daycare center that provides the best in early childhood education for families in the town of Sudbury and surrounding communities.

In 2008 I shared this vision with my husband and was thrilled that he was completely on board with the idea. Sadly, shortly thereafter, he suffered a stroke and naturally my attention turned to his care, in addition to my home-based child care business. Although his daily challenges were at times insurmountable, my husband’s belief in and encouragement of my dream of opening a daycare school never once wavered.

His passing in 2013 left a large hole in my life and the lives of our children. During this time I was not only grieving his loss, but also lamenting the probability that my dream of opening a childcare school was just that – a dream. Let me say right now that my four children are amazing human beings! They are my backbone, my support, my champions. My pride for them is unmeasurable.

They completed their education at prestigious universities during the time period when their father was paralyzed and his eventual demise. Their heartache was palpable and yet they had the strength and determination to focus on their studies and encourage me to follow my dream. Over time, my children and I decided to take the first steps toward realizing my vision.

My daughter, who I consider my best friend, accompanied me to various daycare franchises as this journey began to unfold. After visits to many franchises we decided on The Goddard® School, based on their outstanding programs and offerings. Today, I am proud to be the on-site owner of The Goddard School of Sudbury at 437 Boston Post Road. It is a journey I could not have taken without the constant support and encouragement of my children, who have become my partners.

I am also grateful to O’Sullivan Architects. Inc. of Peabody, Massachusetts and Wozny/Barbar & Associates, Inc. (WB&A) of Hanover, Massachusetts who served as project architect and MEP engineer, respectively in addition to the civil engineering firm of Williams & Sparages of Middleton, MA. Appreciative doesn’t come close to describing my sentiments for my general contractor, Acella Construction. The Acella team went above and beyond in turning a former Rite Aid® and Subway® shop into the beautiful Goddard School of Sudbury, my 15,000 square foot franchised private preschool and educational daycare facility. Without their assistance, respect, and dedication this project would not have been completed on time – but I am happy to say that any and all construction challenges were handled by Acella allowing me to finally say that my dream of owning a daycare center that provides the best in early childhood education is now a reality.
