THE RESULTS ARE IN...

Our comprehensive play-based curriculum provides the optimal environment for your child’s development and school readiness. The results of a recent assessment by Children’s Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA) show that Goddard School students consistently outperform the general population of Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten CPAA users by a significant margin. Goddard School children also met or exceeded grade level expectations at a higher rate in every category!

Our proprietary FLEX™ Learning program is delivered by teachers who use CPAA assessment results to set the stage for children to develop creative and problem-solving abilities, encouraging them to work cooperatively and building their self-confidence. The result is confident learners who are ready for school.
