The Goddard School
Our school is committed to providing exceptional childcare and education in a safe environment that fosters a life long love of learning.
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.

Attention-seeking behavior is expected in young children. But what should we do when the behavior becomes problematic? How should parents respond when their child seeks attention in disruptive or aggressive ways?
In this Romper article, Dr. Lauren (Starnes) Loquasto, the Goddard School's chief academic officer, offers insight into how parents can redirect four common attention-seeking behaviors and instead create positive interactions that help children grow.

According to a recent study by OnePoll and The Goddard School®, Parents field an average of 11 questions from their young children daily. This poll of 2,000 parents of kids ages 0-6 found that between being asked “What?” (37%), “When?” (22%), and “Why?” (11%), parents are always on call for when their kids get curious.

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!
