Lee's Summit (Lakewood) Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • I love the activities and stimulation my child receives. I enjoy that outdoor activities are planned as well during nice weather/summer. I like the food menu served to the kids. The staff is all very friendly and inviting. Can’t say enough good things!

  • I continue to be impressed with how dedicated the Goddard school is to making every day a new special learning activity for each child. My wife and I are constantly hearing stories from my son about everything he is doing! He loves being at school and always has the biggest smile when coming and going! We couldn’t be more pleased!

  • I love that there is always a smiling face when my child arrives and departs as well as the enriching environment that my child is encouraged to thrive in while at school. I also appreciate the holistic curriculum that address social and emotional development with the same focus as academics (i.e. science, literacy).
