GODDARD SCHOOL LIBERTY MO

We love The Goddard School of Liberty! Mark, the owner, is very engaged, the teachers are excellent, and the facilities are so clean. It gives us peace of mind to have our child at a preschool that provides such a fantastic learning environment.

I am writing this review to express my deep frustration with the level of service and professionalism provided by The Goddard School, particularly regarding our recent interactions with the owner. As parents, we expect our children to be in an environment that promotes respect, understanding, and support. Unfortunately, our experience has been anything but that. Over the past few months, it has become abundantly clear that the owner’s behavior is both disrespectful and dismissive, creating an atmosphere that is not conducive to the well-being of our children. There have been multiple instances where concerns we’ve raised about our children’s care and behavior have been met with irritation rather than a willingness to listen and address the issue in a constructive manner. What is most concerning, however, is the apparent short temper and unprofessional demeanor the owner has shown when interacting with us. Instead of calmly addressing our concerns, we are met with condescending remarks and an overall lack of empathy. It is unacceptable to feel as though our children are being unfairly singled out or made to feel uncomfortable simply because the owner is unable to maintain professionalism. As parents, we have trusted The Goddard School with the care of our boys, and we expect to feel that our concerns are being taken seriously and that they are in a nurturing environment. However, the behavior we’ve encountered from the owner has left us questioning whether this is the right place for our children and why we have chosen to unenroll them from there to seek childcare at another facility. Respect and professionalism should be a given in any childcare setting, yet it seems to be sorely lacking here. We sincerely hope that The Goddard School will take this feedback to heart and make the necessary changes to ensure that all families and children are treated with the care and respect they deserve. Until then, we cannot, in good conscience, recommend this establishment to other parents.

Our 2.5 year old son has been at Goddard for 2 months now. From the first tour, we felt super comfortable with the environment and the staff and that has continued to be the case! Our son was pretty shy and hesitant on every other tour, but at Goddard he immediately got invited to play with some of the other kids and he seemed very comfortable right away. That gave us the confidence to enroll him staring in September. He is in the Get Set classroom for toddlers and he absolutely adores his teachers: Ms. Kelly, Ms. Hannah and Ms. Lynsie! We've been really impressed with the curriculum and how hands on they are with their teaching. We toured other nearby daycares that seemed too dependent on using screens as part of their curriculum, so we're really pleased that the teachers at Goddard are constantly interacting with the kids and really getting them to participate in hands on learning activities. Overall, we've been very happy with the level of care and education our son has received. We were pretty anxious about getting him into a daycare as this is our first rodeo, but the Goddard crew has made it a great experience!

We’ve been taking our kiddo to Goddard for over a year now and can’t say anything but wonderful things about this place! From the cleanliness to the wonderful teachers and extra staff everything has checked our boxes on expectations. Mark is a very involved owner; we see him everyday during drop offs/pick ups, he even helps out cooking the meals for the kiddos, and helps carry the trash out! He’s definitely an owner who puts a lot of personal care into his business. As for my child’s teachers; we have loved them all! My kiddo has a food allergy and they’ve always gone above and beyond to make sure he’s in safe hands; while also answering my worry mom concerns. Theyve been working hard on potty training and teaching him in such a loving manner. Thanks Goddard for all you do!

My daughter has been learning at a rapid rate & the entire staff is very warm and welcoming. I love the ratio of teacher to student and she looks forward to going back every day. The location is also really good.
