Barbara Burrows, owner of The Goddard School, is thrilled with the expansion. “We have always strived to provide the best care for our families and have found that the smallest conveniences go a long way with our parents. By offering a before- and after-school program, our families can further expose their children to the Goddard method of learning and also have the luxury of making one stop in the morning and evening, receiving continuous care from us. In addition to before- and after-school care, we are also open for summer camps and when the school district is closed for holiday breaks and teacher conferences.”
The Annex will also offer tutoring, homework assistance and computer labs to the Goddard School curriculum and will also play host to a variety of kid’s clubs, including foreign language, creative kids, growing up green, lights-camera-action, mega bytes, rolling through the dough and secret garden to name a few.
For those enrolled in the program, traditional busing transportation will be provided before and after school to and from schools within the Edwardsville and Glen Carbon School District.
