At The Goddard School of Powell, meeting the needs of the individual child is our highest priority. Our play-based F.L.EX.® Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is designed to ensure that assessments of each child in the classroom guide the daily curriculum developed by our highly qualified, professional teaching staff while creating a loving, nurturing, and safe environment in which parents can trust. Our core values include fostering a well-rounded approach to learning, ensuring that our students are not just school ready, they are life-ready. We encourage children to discover and explore their interests, empowering them to become happy, confident, self-aware, empathetic, and self-directed. The teaching and enjoyment of manners, art, music and world cultures is just as integral to our curriculum as STEAM based learning. In addition, The Goddard School of Powell is proud to offer age appropriate enrichment programs including American Sign Language, Yoga, and Spanish beginning at 2.5 years old. We also recently introduced Chess at 3, a cutting edge enrichment program offered exclusively at our school. On-site owner Rebecca Burkholder encourages an open door policy and strives to build a partnership with parents to ensure we provide the highest possible quality experience for students and their families.

Tandem is the only free marketplace for care services that is revolutionizing the way that providers get paid. We connect families with reliably-vetted providers, and provide quality jobs to users; we want to create long-lasting relationships on the basis of trust. We know that finding providers can be stressful and time-consuming, so we strive to relieve that pressure for you.
Our goal is to connect families with reliable sitters, nannies, and educators from all backgrounds, and to provide an easy, trust-worthy means of payment. We empower parents to give their providers immediate access to their earnings. Tandem gives providers the opportunity to save, spend, or transfer their money all from our easy-to-use platform.
Tandem values parent-provider equality; decisions should be made between the two parties, not by our organization. We allow parent and provider communication outside of us once we have facilitated the connection. Parents decide what they want to pay their provider based on the particular scope of the job, and providers set their rate range so that we can easily pair the two. Our job is to match families with the best provider for their needs, encourage communication, and facilitate reliable payment!
