Our Classrooms

In each classroom, we provide hands-on, child-centered learning experiences that vary based on the children’s levels of development. Teachers help children grow into happy, healthy, intelligent little humans who are ready to take on the world around them.

For infants, we follow the care schedule set by your family and utilize both curriculum and personal attention to connect with and expand on your little one’s individual development. Our teachers also incorporate songs, finger play, books, sensory and physical exploration each day.

Our busy toddlers flex their independence as they learn to walk, talk and safely explore the world around them. Their curiosity and interests drive the classroom structure.

In our Preschool and Pre-K classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings. 

Our teachers expertly create supportive classrooms for all children to safely learn and test new social, academic and physical skills throughout a familiar routine that includes morning and afternoon snack, lunch, naptime, exploration, small and large group experiences and outdoor play.

Please provide any necessary personal care items for your little one, like diapers, wipes, two full changes of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet. For toddlers and older children please bring a blanket and/or sleeping bag. Many of our locations also ask that you pack lunch for your child each day. All items should be labeled with your child’s first and last name. We offer an exclusive discount with a popular label company for enrolled families to help make the process easier! Please contact your local School for additional details.

As long as the weather permits, children play outside every day! The Goddard School playgrounds are extensions of the classrooms, and teachers are great at planning playtime, nature walks, picnics and other outdoor learning opportunities.
