My name is Miss Jenny. I work in the older twos/young threes room. My room serves as a bridge between toddlers and preschoolers. It is very structured, and we learn many new things from our explorations each week. At this age, we practice self-regulation skills, manners, and talking, and we usually potty train in this classroom. I look forward to meeting and working with you and your child.

My name is Miss Katie. I've been working at The Goddard School since 2018. I have my CDA in Preschool Education. In the preschool classroom, we continue to learn through play and exploration. Our children are learning their letters, numbers, shapes, and colors by sight. The children practice self-regulation, manners, and friendship skills to become good citizens. We love working with the preschool class and can't wait to meet you!

Hello. My name is Miss Sierra. I am the Pre-Kindergarten teacher. I am excited to work with your child during their Pre-Kindergarten year! I love working here because every day, I am greeted with a positive welcome, and I enjoy seeing the children smiling back at me. It is fantastic to see a child achieve a new skill or understand a new concept. This year, we will be working on academic and social-emotional goals. We will learn the alphabet, sounds, and numbers up to 30, write our names and letters, sound out words, and understand some basic math/cognitive skills. We will learn how to care for ourselves, become self-sufficient, clean up, make friends, and follow rules. I can't wait to work with your family!

We practice blending words and reading simple sentences. We learn basic math and science skills that prepare us for the next step in our education experience. We also work hard to use our manners, take turns, and become good citizens! I can't wait to get to know you and include your family in our school's culture.

Hello, I am Miss Wendi. I am one of the Kindergarten teachers. To prepare your child for first grade, we will learn to follow the rules of our classroom and how to be good citizens.

Along with our Wonder of Learning curriculum, we can prepare our students for the next step in their education. I can't wait to get to know your family.
