Goddard School opens in Waukee

Parents who think that children are the most important things in their busy world now have a new option. The Goddard School recently opened in Waukee on Hickman Road.

The structured learning environment and caring teachers are two reasons why Goddard calls itself more than a daycare.

Liz Smith is the on-site owner and strives to provide an atmosphere that will prepare children for social and academic success and mold them into joyful, confident learners.

The Goddard School is located at 80 N.E. Carefree Lane in Waukee. For more information, call 515-297-6555 or go to www.goddardschool.com.
