Care You Can Trust

The Goddard School is proud to be recognized for our commitment to quality care and early learning! These accolades reflect our dedication to providing a safe, nurturing and enriching environment for every child.

CHESS AT THREE

Chess at Three is an innovative, narrative-based program that uses a collection of fun stories to teach chess to children in an entertaining, play-focused way. For example, instead of teaching children that kings move one square at a time, children learn that one king moves very slowly because his belly is big and one moves slowly because he is afraid of everything. By following these stories, children quickly start to play chess and solve chess puzzles.
