The Goddard School
Ensuring that children have fun while learning the skills they need for long-term success in school and in life. Welcome to The Goddard School!
Our goal is to be a resource for families and a community where parents can share information and learn from each other.
Children experience all the same emotions as adults, but they aren’t yet equipped with the tools to handle those feelings. The first step toward understanding their big feelings is helping them learn how to recognize and name their emotions. Asking them open-ended questions like “What is something that makes you happy or sad?” or “Can you show me what face you make when you are happy, sad or angry?” gives children the opportunity to share their emotions and show what they know about them. This exercise had Goddard students using emojis to identify each emotion in honor of World Emoji Day. 😊😍😝😥😆 Give it a try with your little one!
Did you know that between the ages of 2 and 5 years old, children ask an average of 40,000 questions? We say, bring them on! Our Wonder of Learning™ education program, found only at The Goddard School®, is the most innovative, well-researched program on the market, focused on how children learn best: through play, exploration and following their natural curiosity. By asking questions and finding their own answers (then asking more questions!), children develop a lifelong love of learning.
Red, White and Fourth Fun!🎆🇺🇸

Happy National Creativity Day! 🎨✨
Creativity is all about giving children the freedom to make and play on their own. An activity we love at Goddard is painting with anything BUT a paintbrush! 🖌️ Whether it’s string, fork, or feathers, children can use everyday objects to create extraordinary works of art. Creativity is child-led, so let your child's imagination run wild as they learn how to innovate while they create!
