Bully-proofing your child
We would like to invite you and your child to take a personal tour of The Goddard School® located in Crestview Hills, where children enjoy planned, active, well-balanced days in a safe and fun learning environment. We invite you to visit us to see why our parents say, "We could never consider sending our kids anywhere else."
In addition to the excellent quality that all Goddard Schools maintain, The Goddard School located in Crestview Hills is accredited by The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and ranked among the all star top 71 childcare centers in the United States by Child Care Business. The Goddard School won Cincinnati Family Magazine's 'Best Childcare Facility' Awards for three consecutive years.
Sending your child to our School may better prepare him or her for later school years and life experiences. Our qualified faculty includes teachers trained in Early Childhood Development who can provide each child with the finest instruction available locally. Your child will learn to build positive, healthy relationships with his/her peers and with adults, in an atmosphere where problem-solving, creative-thinking and positive attitudes are encouraged. Your child is taught to be self-sufficient through self-help skills, which is a part of our curriculum. Our children learn through a balance of teacher-directed and child-directed activities. Classroom spaces incorporate various learning centers, including those for science, art, math & cognitive skills, reading and dramatic play. Our School also features a computer laboratory. Activity is important and planned exercise periods are scheduled throughout the day. We have a wellness and exercise program (B.A.S.E) and offer Yoga as part of our daily programming.
The Goddard School located in Crestview Hills seeks to enhance and nurture each child's strengths and competencies. Our philosophy is that we teach to the individual child and not the group as a whole. A portfolio is developed for each child that chronicles his/her progress and is reviewed with families during parent/teacher conferences. However, we advocate daily communication between teachers and parents to ensure that we are setting consistent goals and working together to achieve all objectives.
We enhance our core curriculum through Sign Language and Manners programs incorporated into our daily lesson plans. We provide an environment that fosters the understanding of a multicultural world and introduce our children to the Spanish language utilizing the Trampoline™ curriculum designed specially for preschoolers. We offer optional dance and non-contact Karate classes. Throughout the year, and particularly during our outstanding summer camp program, we invite a wide variety of in-house visitors and organize several field trips. We have a Grand Friends program through which we partner with a nearby assisted living facility to participate in multi-generational activities. In addition, we participate in the Kenton County Library 'Racing to Read' program, where the library visits our School to read to children in each classroom on a regular basis. The children and their parents can also borrow books on-site through the program. Our huge playground allows an array of activities. For instance, our play structure and tricycles for gross motor development and our metallophone and paint station that encourage young musicians and artists to be inspired by the outdoors. Our School features a computer laboratory for children 30 months and older. These are only a few examples of how we provide a truly well-rounded program.
Parent and family involvement is a priority at The Goddard School located in Crestview Hills. We emphasize this by inviting family members to an array of special events including our annual Grandparent's Day, Muffins with Mum Day, Doughnuts with Dad Day, a Spring Fling, an Ice Cream Social and a Fall Fest. There is also an active Parent Teacher Organization.
We welcome your family to partner with us in providing an extraordinary educational and fun experience for your child! The Goddard School located in Crestview Hills is conveniently located at 2613 Legends Way, off Thomas More Parkway, is unique and we invite you to come and see why!
