Bright Futures, Endless Possibilities
Instead of countless worksheets, your kindergartner gets to lead their learning! Through immersive experiences, our innovative curriculum offers exciting lessons in subjects like robotics, service learning and entrepreneurship on top of academics that align with state and local Kindergarten and first grade standards.

Kindergarten classroom milestones
Your child will accomplish the following, and more, at the end of our Kindergarten program:
- Build early literacy skills
- Master fine motor skills and handwriting
- Solve increasingly complex problems using scientific, engineering and critical thinking skills
- Develop civic skills like conflict resolution, collaboration and making friends

Curriculum and teachers are outstanding. Our child is already sounding words out and beginning to write words and sentences on his own. His development has skyrocketed since we began the Kindergarten program at Goddard and we couldn't be happier!
