FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
The Goddard School located in Bethlehem is proud to announce open enrollment for our full-day private academic Kindergarten Program. Our Kindergarten teacher will provide your child the individual attention required in a secure, small group environment. The Goddard School will work with the local Bethlehem Area School district to ensure your child's smooth transition between Kindergarten and First Grade. Enrollment opportunities are extremely limited. Please call immediately to arrange your visit.
Choosing the right Kindergarten Program for your child might be one of the most complicated decisions you have to make as a parent- and at The Goddard School at Bethlehem, we understand that challenge. That’s why we have worked with Parents, Teachers and Bethlehem Area School District to develop our premiere Private Kindergarten Program. When you have a choice to make- we thing you’ll choose Goddard.
WHY IS PRIVATE KINDERGARTEN A BETTER ALTERNATIVE?
Providing your child the opportunity to learn in a secure environment with a focus on individual attention is only possible in a small group setting that a private Kindergarten at The Goddard School offers. Our Kindergarten curriculum has been designed in conjunction with the local school district to ensure your child’s smooth transition to the next academic level.
WHAT IS GODDARD’S PRIVATE KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM?
The full-day private Kindergarten at The Goddard School allows for both individual and small group learning which is key to a child’s formal education. Since Kindergarten presents ample academic challenges for your child, Goddard teachers take care to balance the daily schedule with lots of fun, too. Children at Goddard enjoy quiet learning in reading nooks and writing centers as well as social activity in dramatic play centers and running with friends on large, specially designed playgrounds.
