Pre-K / VPK Program

The Village Early Learning Center has been a leader in Florida’s Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten initiative since the Florida VPK program was implemented in 2002. At The Village ELC, PreK students acquire a strong foundation of skills on which they build their future academic success. Building upon the basics, students are consistently presented with new opportunities and challenges that encourage social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and ensure that they are well-equipped for success when they enter kindergarten. Village PreK students learn from credentialed teachers in a spacious and engaging environment. Beyond the classroom, students expand their creativity and hone their problem-solving skills as they enjoy generous outdoor play areas, learn from a professional art teacher in an outdoor art studio, and develop a love for nature in garden classrooms. Enrichment activities, such as soccer and computer coding classes are available to students that attend our half and full-day prekindergarten / VPK programs.

Pre-K/VPK

Our PK4/5 program uses VESS Thinking Strategies to foster creativity and problem-solving. By blending research-based tools with unique learning setups that honor each child's passions, we challenge students intellectually to achieve deep understanding and out-of-the-box thinking.

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.

Preschool

As children transition from the Nido program to our Preschool program, they enter a phase of the curriculum that builds upon on their expanded vocabulary. Collaboration and communication become the cornerstones of all activities. Within this framework, children are prompted to engage in small peer groups, fostering the exploration, design, and presentation of their projects. This approach encourages learners to formulate hypotheses, investigate processes, and draw conclusions, empowering them to articulate and defend ideas, building confidence in their ability to formulate individual opinions and become the authors of their own learning journeys. Explorations are based upon long term projects throughout the year, allowing students to build upon previously mastered concepts, deepening their ability to learn. Through these interdisciplinary projects, children engage in foundational learning skills such as math, science, social studies, and language arts in meaningful ways.
