Bully-proofing your child
We are Ron and Sharon Boatright, on-site owners of The Goddard School® located at 12700 Lynnfield Drive in the Meridian International Business Park in Englewood. Our first grandchild was the motivation for us to open The Goddard School. When our daughter was returning to work we saw how difficult it was for her and her husband to find a solution to their need for childcare. Ron was part of the solution for one day of the week and he realized how important it is for parents to find a warm, safe and loving environment for their child. One which also provides a fun and educational place to learn. After researching many preschool programs, we found Goddard to be exceptional at fostering learning through play and gearing activities toward each child’s individual needs. That was the start of our journey and our school opened in August of 2006. We are blessed with a wonderful director, faculty and families whose children bring us smiles each and every day.
The Goddard School is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. year round, offering a variety of programs convenient for parents who want the proven advantages of a high quality preschool education for their children. Our School provides developmentally appropriate programs for children six weeks to six years of age with activities to meet each child’s individual needs and flexibility to accommodate each family's busy schedule. We nurture children in a loving and safe environment and provide experiences that will enhance their development and growth.
The curriculum at our School includes cognitive skills, math, science, social science, motor skills, computer skills, creative art and self-help skills. Our School's faculty has teachers with degrees in Early Childhood Development and who provide children with carefully planned educational and developmental programs that meet the needs of the "whole" child.
We also offer various extracurricular resources in our daily curriculum from our Infant through Pre-K programs. The extracurricular resources are introduced throughout your child's day.
• Manners: The Goddard Guide to Getting Along™ program fosters acquisition of friendship, compassion, cooperation and kindness. Activities provide opportunities for skill building beginning at 18 months of age.
• Spanish: This program by Trampoline™ offers children the opportunity to learn new words in Spanish during their class curriculum every day.
• Sign Language: American Sign Language is offered to all children as a manual form of communication through the use of songs, games, stories and play.
• Fitness Program: Goddard's B.A.S.E. for Fitness focuses on B=Balance, A=Agility, S=Strength and E=Endurance. This program will work on the children's self-esteem, gross motor skills and get them moving with all kinds of fun activities and equipment, from ages three to five.
• World Cultures: We all want to learn about the heritage of our diverse population because it really is a small world after all.
• Music Appreciation: The Music Preludes® program provides children with experiences in which they can achieve musical literacy through fun activities and participation, available for all ages.
Areas of growth and development are highlighted on our daily lesson plans, which our faculty brings to life in appropriate and attainable ways. Children are encouraged to progress at their own pace according to their individual needs and abilities.
Communication is always an on-going process and is important to everyone. Parents can expect a Daily Activity Report for their child that tells them just what happened in the classroom each and every day.
As parents, we know you devote a lot of time and effort into making the right decisions to provide the best possible care, development and education for your children. Before you make this important decision for your child, please take a tour of our wonderful school and experience the finest preschool program and faculty you can imagine.
We look forward to hearing from you!
