Preppers

Our Prepper program in Meridian prepares children for the next stage of learning. This curriculum builds independence, confidence, and supports potty training while bridging toddlers to preschool.

Preschoolers

Our preschool program in Meridian introduces children to math, science, reading, technology, art, and both shared and independent play while building confidence and school readiness skills.

Primary

A 3-year Mixed-Age Community: Children from ages 3 to 6 years old, including kindergarteners, learn together in the same classroom. Program is designed so that children remain with the same teachers for three years, to create a consistent learning space.

Bridge Classroom

Children in the Bridge classroom are strengthening their self-care skills, growing in their independence and enhancing the skills they need to be successful in a preschool classroom. The Bridge classroom is a purposeful year of preschool prep designed for children with birthdays later in the year or children who may need more time to strengthen self-care skills or social-emotional development. In this classroom, our Wonder of Learning™ education program supports children's independence as they continue to build skills necessary for handwriting and drawing with increased intentionality, learn foundational math concepts and build strong vocabularies.

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.

Early Preschool

It’s never too early to start preparing your child to be ready for school, and that’s why our parents—and their children—love our Early Preschool classroom. As a stepping stone to Preschool, our Early Preschool program has a unique, indicator-based curriculum, Learn as We Grow™, designed to address the individual learning needs of 30- to 42-month-old children. We focus on understanding routines and developing independence. We’re also here when you need us. Ask your school about flexible enrollment options to fit your family’s schedule.

Preschool Program

Hands-on learning is key in this program. Math skills are developed through counting, sorting, and using shapes and patterns. Science explores weather, plants, and animals. Literacy is advanced through daily reading and letter recognition. And painting, drawing, and crafts foster art exploration.
