The teachers and staff are friendly and hands on. When we drop them off, we are confident our daughters are safe, and getting the best education. They both should do great on school because of the preparation Goddard offers.

Both my children have been at the Goddard School - Overland Park II for a combined 9 years. The school has wonderful management, teachers, and staff. It is also a very clean and organized place. I can't say enough good things about Goddard. Thanks for everything they've done for my children's education and happiness. They truly are like family!

My children get a quality education while having so much fun! Moreover, the teachers truly care! It's hard work taking care of other people's children, but even on hard days, these teachers find joy in their job and show our children love! As a parent, I can't ask for more! Thank you!
