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
From the minute we had our tour i knew it would be a perfect for our daughter. I love the daily updates and reports. It is reassuring when my daughter runs in and is excited to go in and see her teachers and friends. The teachers and owners are phenomenal and take pride in what they do and take excellent care of our daughter. I would highly recommend them.
I immediately felt welcome and the teachers and administrators took the time to get to know my infant. When there is an issue, the teacher immediately contacts me directly and it is easy to get in touch with the teachers. My baby has developed under the guidance of Goddard educators and he is thriving under their care. When observing my baby in the classroom at drop off/pick up, I can see that the teacher knows and cares about each child.
