The Teachers at the School are adding FUN activities to their continuous all-year-round academic program. Yes, we will be shouting "Hooray for the USA" this summer while we continue to learn how to read and write in our Preschool and Pre-K classrooms. Our days continue to be filled with letters, words and much more! In addition to our amazing advanced curriculum, the teachers are actively assessing each child's progress and tailoring each day to help him/her reach successive developmental goals.

Our infants through toddlers have spent many a day mastering sign language! All of our teachers and parents are very proud of the accomplishments that their little ones have made. Every day is a learning day at The Goddard School®!

Our program, unlike any other in the area, is supported by many resources that have proven to be cutting-edge in childcare. Here is what your child will delight in has he/she grows with us...

Music & Movement
Music Preludes: Studies have shown that music stimulates children's brains while helping them to express their feelings, investigate rhythm and explore other cultures. Children are able to obtain musical literacy through innovative, fun activities and active participation.

Art Appreciation/History
Trampoline™ Learning Programs for Young Minds: Art History for Kids is a unique way for young children to learn about the most influential artists throughout history. Teachers use age-appropriate art projects, games and activities to expose children to art from prehistoric and ancient times through the art of the 20th century.

Sign Language
Time to Sign® Program: The sign language program introduces children to American Sign Language (ASL). Children, even infants, learn to sign through the use of songs, games, stories and play. Recent findings indicate that a bilingual approach with hearing children enhances literacy skills and activates brain growth and development. Sign has also been shown to reduce conflict, facilitate an understanding of human emotions and increase children's confidence and self-esteem.

Foreign Language
Trampoline™ Learning Programs for Young Minds: The Explorer Program by Trampoline™ introduces children to the Spanish language and culture. With hundreds of games, songs, and activities, the Explorer Program provides hours of learning and fun.
