The Goddard School® located in Westlake has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children! What is accreditation? 'Early childhood programs accredited by the NAEYC Academy for Early Childhood Program Accreditation have voluntarily undergone a comprehensive process of internal self-study, invited external professionals to review and verify compliance with the Criteria for High Quality Early Childhood Programs and been found to be in substantial compliance with the Criteria. The Criteria can be found on NAEYC's Web site at www.naeyc.org/accreditation.'
Our Summer Camp program has come to a close for this year. We had fun times with 'sprinkler days' and lots of exciting visitors! As important as the learning component is to parents, an equally important factor is the opportunity for children to socialize and build memories that will last a lifetime through Summer Camp activities. Every aspect of the Summer Program at The Goddard School® takes these corresponding needs into account. We look forward to another great Summer Camp program next year!
Spanish classes with Senora Mimi continue.
We are also including B.A.S.E. for Fitness to our regular School schedule. B.A.S.E. focuses on Balance, Agility, Strength and Endurance. It's a wonderful program designed to expose children to the skills necessary to support their active lives.
The Goddard Guide to Getting Along has also been incorporated into our curriculum. This will teach the "Importance of Courtesy and Respect."
Apple Blossom Curriculum by Yoga School is another curriculum resource included in our program. This program is for teachers, utilizing yoga to enhance cross-curricular learning for children ages Infant through Pre-Kindergarten. It's a fun time!
We have a special music program this year which will include all the children! Miss Tracy from the Beck Center for the Arts pays us a visit each Thursday morning and brings her guitar and other fun instruments. The children help Miss Tracy play each instrument as they sing and dance to the beat!
