Soccer That Fits Your Schedule
Gioiosa Montessori families get exclusive access to on-site HappyFeet soccer — classes happen during the school day so there is no extra trip for parents.
Not Your Typical Soccer Class
No drills. No lines. No kid waiting for a turn. Just 45 minutes of story-driven games where every child is moving, laughing, and learning — right at their own school in Roeland Park.
Per Month
No registration fees. No equipment to buy. Soccer ball included. First class free.
Ages Served
Age-appropriate cohorts. Younger children focus on coordination and fun; older kids build real skills.
Ball Touches
Per session. Every child has their own ball — nobody waits in line.
Why Roeland Park Parents Choose Gioiosa Montessori
Gioiosa Montessori combines authentic Montessori Method education with on-site HappyFeet soccer — exclusive for enrolled students. Classes during school hours mean zero extra driving for Roeland Park, Prairie Village, Mission, and Fairway families.
Save Hours Every Week
No driving to a separate soccer facility. No rearranging your evening or weekend. Soccer happens while your child is already at school on Buena Vista St.
Comfortable, Familiar Environment
Your child learns soccer with classmates they already know, in a space they’re already comfortable in. Less first-day anxiety means more focus on the ball.
Montessori Method Meets Play-Based Soccer
Gioiosa Montessori’s approach centers on child-led exploration and developing independence. HappyFeet soccer mirrors these principles — imaginative play and age-appropriate activities that let children discover movement on their own terms.
Pathway to More
When your child is ready for competitive soccer, HappyFeet provides a direct pathway to KC Legends Soccer Club (ages 6–18).

High-fives all around. Coach shares one thing each child did well. Kids leave smiling and asking when soccer day comes again.
