Ms Samia
OwnerI am thrilled to be the on-site owner for The Goddard School of Overland Park at Stonepost! The primary years of education are pivotal in a child’s life to set them up for success, and that is why I feel so strongly about Goddard’s philosophy. My goal is to be a community leader in early childhood education nurturing the whole-child to be life-long learners. The partnership between parents and educators creates the optimal environment for healthy, safe, and happy little learners! I am honored to take this journey with you with my commitment to giving every child the gift of individualized learning, social-emotional growth, and foundational strength for future success. -
