Pre-K

Robins: The older preschool years consist of so much learning and development! Their peer relationships are strengthening, they have a more complex understanding and use of language, and their overall motor skills have developed rapidly. Our Robins program continues to provide for preschoolers and their need to be challenged, engaged, and supported in their learning and personal interests. To prepare our older preschoolers for entering school, teachers provide guidance on following directions and routine, communication with others, problem-solving, and self-control through fun and engaging activities inside and outside the classroom. Learning experiences will take up the bulk of their day and is where you can expect to see the elements of our Nest Play curriculum and many other activities come to life.

Pre-K Masters

4 yr - 4 yr 11 mo

Our Pre-K Masters program is thoughtfully designed for children who need a third year of preschool, whether due to a late birthday, developmental readiness, or simply the need for an extra year to grow before starting kindergarten. This Pre-K bridge program provides the perfect balance of academic skill-building and social-emotional development to ensure your child enters elementary school confident, capable, and excited to learn. Building on the foundation of our Robins program, Pre-K Masters is a discovery-based program designed to nurture the whole child and build a strong foundation for learning. Aligned with nationally recognized kindergarten readiness expectations, state early learning standards, and NAEYC best practices for teaching in early childhood, Pre-K Masters blends academic skill-based workshops with hands-on exploration to foster independence, problem-solving, and cognitive growth in young children. Within this program, children will engage in literacy, math, science, and social-emotional learning using discovery themes to make real-world connections and support life-long learning.

At The Goddard School®, we recognize that classrooms are made up of many unique children and teachers work to create engaging, innovative, play-based lessons with the interests and needs of every child in mind. Through the power of asking a question, your child will learn how to seek answers and advocate for themselves in the classroom.

When children want to know something, they learn faster and learning becomes an understanding that lasts a lifetime.
