Preschool Classroom

In our Preschool classroom, children start their journeys into a cooperative learning environment where they can discover interests and learn in a more structured setting. 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. The Wonder of Learning™ curriculum takes your child's natural curiosity and encourages them to ask even more questions because asking questions fuels learning. When children want to know something, they learn faster and learning becomes an understanding that lasts a lifetime.

Daycare Resources

What age is best for daycare?

There isn't one age that is better than another when it comes to starting daycare. It's all dependent on the needs of your family! Some programs start accepting children as early as six weeks of age, while others start later in infancy or toddlerhood.

What should I look for in a daycare?

When searching for a daycare that suits your family's needs it helps if the location is convenient to either home or work. Then you'll want to tour, ask your questions, and make sure you like the provider and the environment. You'll know when you've found the right daycare for your child.

How can I check if a daycare is licensed?

Licensed daycare providers typically have more oversight, and follow specific guidelines and regulations like adhering to adult-child ratios. You can find a program's licensing information on Winnie.
