Description
As toddlers are rapidly developing both physically and cognitively, the Toddler classroom is where their natural curiosity is fostered, and their language and communication skills are nurtured. A lifelong love of learning starts early, and we believe in providing brand-new learners with the tools they need to be successful. In the Toddler classroom, our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning™, comes to life as expert teachers harness children’s natural curiosity, guiding them to explore the world around them through hands-on learning, play and asking questions. Teachers support your child's social-emotional growth while helping them develop important physical skills. Your little one will build social awareness, form meaningful connections with others and have plenty of opportunities to strengthen essential skills like persistence and independence.

Description
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.

Parent Reviews
This school has taken a lot of stress off my plate! Goddard has been great so far! My kid’s first teacher, Ms. Crystal, immediately made me feel comfortable; her patience with my son, who hadn’t been away from home in any extended capacity, showed us we made the right choice in sending him here. His current teachers, Ms. Charia and Ms. Kaelyn, have been awesome too! He talks about them all the time outside of school, trying to show them things and share things with them. They’re creating a fun, social environment that's setting him up well for the future. And they're also great about nap times, snacks, and potty training, which makes life easier outside of school. I highly recommend Goddard! Even though childcare in this area can be expensive, Goddard West has definitely been worth it!
Highly Recommend! We love our experience at The Goddard. Our son has been enrolled at the school for almost two years now and we have seen growth in his development. He absolutely adores his teachers Ms. Lindsey and Ms. Jennifer and the friends he has made over time. These teachers are very organized and nurturing. I truly appreciate how they provide daily feedback on my child's day. The front office staff (Ms. Traleece) does a great job keeping families informed on what is going on at the school. Most importantly, they make it a priority to get to know their families.
We are so happy to be members of the Goddard family! Our son has been attending since the school's inception and we have been thrilled with the level of care and effort from the teachers, administrators, owners, and supporting staff. If there are any issues, they do a very good job of accommodating the children. Their teachers are fantastic and my son loves coming to school. I cannot be more impressed with the childcare Goddard School Alexandria (West) provides.
