The Goddard School
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.
This Fridays agenda: relax and wear tie-dye!😎🌈

When in doubt, tie-dye everything!😜🌈
As children explore the idea of creativity, they will discover all the different ways people can express themselves. They will learn what art is, who creates it, how art makes them feel and what they can create. Art comes in many forms, including music, dance or sharing emotions. How does your child express their creativity?
Wishing your family a safe, happy and healthy 4th of July!
In celebration of Independence Day, we hope everyone has a fantastic 4th!🎆

In our Wonder of Learning (WOL) curriculum, our students were able to create a fun sensory experience today with the use of paint and tissue paper! This is such a great activity that not only encourages them to express their creativity, but it also helps them to express their emotions!💙
At The Goddard School®, we believe every color belongs in the world, just like every child! Our Schools are spaces where children feel loved, seen and valued for who they are because we provide a safe community where everyone belongs.
Our students in the Bears classroom, used their center time to create some new sensory experiences by making mud art!😍
