The Goddard School of Portland (Bethany) is more than a warm and nurturing place. It's more than a great education for your child. It's peace of mind.
I like that my preschooler is learning letters, writing, coloring, and chess. He hadn't been very interested in any of these before enrolling with Goddard and now, he's blossoming with new interests! My 15 month old is exposed to so much and although he's not speaking yet, he can clearly follow instructions. I know he will eventually follow suit with his classmates.
We love the facility - classrooms, indoor and outdoor play areas that encourage free play and movement. Activities are very age appropriate and the kids seem to love spending time at the school. Teachers and staff have great communication and always at the top of their game. We appreciate everything you do to keep our little ones safe and healthy.
My wife and I have seen real growth in our daughters language, speech, and counting skills. She is already leaning to present in front of people. Great combination of STEM and physical activity.
We love the end of day reports. Lisa is wonderful.. drop offs are hard and we are not sure what we would do without Lisa.. She's is kind, fun and Ash loves her.
Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!
Our summer program is all about exciting outdoor adventures, child-led discovery and fun learning experiences. Your children will be encouraged to follow their natural curiosity as they develop new skills, build their confidence and celebrate accomplishments all summer long!
