Preschool

For any child, preschool education is an essential step on the path to kindergarten. We want the best for your child and that’s why this program focuses on their personal development with customized curriculum and lesson plans to meet their individual developmental needs. In this classroom, children are given an increasing sense of independence, while also learning how to relate to others through large-group activities which are an essential part of the day. We’re also here when you need us. Ask your school about flexible enrollment options to fit your family’s schedule.

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.

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.

Young Preschool

Our Young Preschool classroom (two- and three-year-olds) nurtures curiosity while building foundational skills for future learning. Children grow in language and early literacy, counting and math concepts, self-help skills like handwashing and toileting, and increasing autonomy. They build with blocks, create with playdough, and expand their physical play, all while developing gross and fine motor skills. Experienced teachers guide children with patience and consistency, helping them gain confidence, form friendships, and navigate a classroom community—alongside age-appropriate spiritual teaching.

Preschool

Our Preschool classroom (three- and four-year-olds) is where imagination takes flight and independence blossoms. Children build language and early literacy skills, math concepts, and independence with hand washing, toileting, and self-regulation, while developing gross and fine motor skills through blocks and real materials. With improved listening and communication, preschoolers engage in deeper conversations, cooperative play, and problem-solving—practicing responsibility and leadership through guided learning, alongside lessons in faith and character.
