The Goddard School is dedicated to providing the foundation to
encourage each child's lifelong love of learning in a safe and
nurturing environment by offering a wide range of enriching
activities to meet the needs of each child, focusing on building
each child's emotional, social, cognitive and physical skills,
offering multi-cultural and developmentally appropriate materials
and equipment, complying with Quality Assurance Reviews and parent
surveys conducted by GSI, supporting the professional development
of teachers through GSU, offering open communication with families
in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. Kindergarten is a
balanced full-day program at select locations. A small group
setting and secure environment give Goddard School Kindergartners
the individual attention they require at this stage in their
development. Kindergarten presents ample academic challenges, so
teachers take care to balance their lesson plans with lots of fun,
developmentally appropriate activities and time for reading and
thinking. Bright classrooms and large playgrounds create the
backdrop for a learning environment where preschoolers engage in
age-appropriate activities related to a monthly theme. Preschoolers
are introduced to cognitive skills like sequencing and matching,
social skills in similarities and diversity and language art skills
such as storytelling and process-writing. Learning Centers
encourage self-reliance and provide opportunities for children to
develop their self confidence. Children also practice their
decision making as they navigate from center to center. Children
are encouraged to progress at their own pace according to their
individual needs and abilities. Visits from local museums and
libraries, community helpers, doctors and theatrical productions
are incorporated into the classroom to provide a real-world
learning experience. Computers are an everyday component of the
preschool classroom and allow children to practice their new
skills. Enrichment programs, such as fitness, art history and
manners, are incorporated into each preschooler's daily schedule.
