Welcome to The Goddard School®! We are located in The Park at Plum Creek just off of Plum Street adjacent to the new Peel Restaurant. We love being tucked in the woods!
Wow! We have celebrated our second year anniversary and love serving the families in our area. We are very proud of our state-of-the-art facility and new "green" playground featuring artificial turf that is weather resistant and hypo-allergenic.
I am Barbara A. Burrows, the on-site owner, and I am proud of our beautiful facility and talented and creative teachers. Our warm, loving atmosphere features a year-round extended day program from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Let's take a peek inside and see how the day unfolds at The Goddard School.
In our Infant classroom, babies six weeks to fourteen months are cared for by loving and nurturing teachers. Our Infant room is self-contained, which gives our littlest ones a safe and secure environment in which to learn and grow - and our teachers can easily individualize each infants' schedule according to parents' wishes.
Several of our Preschoolers are singing, "Old MacDonald Had A Farm." This is a great way to introduce our "Farm Friendly" week. At the art table, Ms. Megan is supervising her children as they try to cut out a whale using scissors for our "Friends by the Sea" week. In the Get Set classroom, the students are role playing with various bugs during our "Creepy Crawlies" week. During Circle Time, the Toddlers are singing "We're All Going to the Zoo Today" for our "Zoo Animals" week.
Areas of growth and development are highlighted on our daily lesson plans, which our teachers bring to life in appropriate and attainable ways. Children are encouraged to progress at their own pace according to their individual needs and abilities.
You can see that children are busy learning and making new friends at The Goddard School. Please stop by anytime, or call 618.692.9464 to schedule an appointment to visit, and see for yourself how The Goddard School can make a positive difference in your child's life. We look forward to hearing from you!
Our state-of-the-art custom designed building has been planned to provide a safe, healthy and stimulating environment. Two separate playgrounds have been designed to challenge and delight your child at every age. Come and see for yourself!
"They may not remember what you teach them, but they will remember how you made them feel..."
