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.

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.

Our Pre-K program prepares children for kindergarten as they learn letter-sound relationships and sight-word recognition, and gain an understanding that writing is used to express thoughts and ideas. Children explore concrete mathematical concepts, such as simple addition and subtraction.

3 Year Olds

Children in the Class of the 3s continue to express themselves with ever greater depth and precision. We encourage the development of these emergent literacy skills by awakening their affinity for and interest in written communication. As your three-year-old engages in conversation and exchanges knowledge and information with peers, they are immersed in a world of learning. Each day, educators in the Class of the 3s provide experiences rich with age-appropriate academic components to provoke your child into the act of inquiry and curiosity. Stable classroom routines and rules make for a peaceful environment in which learning can take place.

PK-4

Complex thinking for four-year-olds is visible and allows them to give shape to their ideas. We gleefully support this by ensuring children are able to utilize technology, various graphic mediums, written communication and more to further encourage their development and growth. Your four-year-old likely enjoys new experiences and collaborating with peers. Our educators take advantage of this by encouraging experiences that allow for an exchange of ideas in the classroom. This vibrant classroom environment will make your child excited about school, and the experiences in our Class of the 4s lead to rich and meaningful academic, social and emotional opportunities for growth.
