The Goddard School located in Independence is more than just a daycare - it's a private preschool that offers childcare for infants, toddlers, and pre-k children. The programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment. The staff, parents, and children work together to create a happy, engaging, and fun environment. The Goddard School is an excellent place to work, with supportive staff and awesome families. The new administrator feels very welcomed by the teachers, owners, families, and students. The school is described as warm, inviting, creative, and inclusive, with students thriving. Parents praise the teachers and owners, noting that their children learned so much socially, educationally, and emotionally. The staff addressed any issues immediately and maintained a sense of community, even with a two-mom household. One teacher, Ms. Annette, was particularly praised for her perfect balance of nurturing and stern, respectful teaching. Overall, the Goddard School is seen as a breath of fresh air, providing a safe and high-quality academic experience for children. The owners, Paula and Bob, are commended for their dedication to maintaining the integrity of the program and adapting to any obstacles that arise.
Highly recommend, my daughter has a great learning experience!
