Sometimes you don’t know what the must-haves for preschool and daycare are until you actually experience them 💙

👟✨ PRESCHOOLER OUTFIT CHECK! 🎨👕
10/10 all around! Accessories including: A little bit of paint, some marker, and a sprinkle of… glitter?

A little mess can be a BIG sign of learning! From exploring their artistic creativity to experimenting with new materials. Our little learners are building fine motor skills, expressing their personality, and making new memories. 🫟🖌️

If your child’s outfit comes home with a few extra colors and designs… just know that we had a really good day over at The Goddard School! ☺️🌈💙

Does having daily routines support my young child’s growth and development?
Yes, it absolutely does, it is one of the most important factors in a day spent at The Goddard School!

Let’s talk about the 3 main reasons as to why daily routines are so important for young children. ↓

1. Predictability 🌟 Predictability means security in the mind of a child, when they know what to expect they feel well equipped for the tasks at hand. Consistent routines throughout the day both at home and at school help reduce uncertainty throughout transitions.
2. Independence 🌈 Routines build independence! The opportunity to complete small tasks with little to no adult assistance allows for children to practice doing things on their own.
3. Executive Functioning Skills💼 Following a sequence such as, eating lunch ➜ cleaning up ➜ using the bathroom ➜ preparing for nap ➜ and resting, helps children regulate their body physically by engaging in independent tasks that are familiar. This further encourages a seamless shift between transitions.

Thank you to Obstacle Fitness for such a wonderful outdoor experience! ☀️🌈🛝 Rachele Manning | Obstacle Fitness

What a great way for children to be encouraged, challenged, and engaged both physically and mentally, all at once! Between obstacle courses, teamwork activities, and individual hand-eye coordination challenges, our students at The Goddard School had the chance to learn a lot about their mind and body capabilities.

Part two of this silly trend! 😂

On a serious note, it is completely normal for young children to experience big feelings during transition!

Often, they are not upset about being at school or seeing their teachers, they are reacting to change, even if it is expected.

Once your child has been welcomed into our classroom, at The Goddard School we immediately encourage daily routines that will both distract from and help navigate the child’s reaction to change.

By doing this, we are redirecting the child’s mind to something that they can contribute to.

Whether that is signing their name/photo into the classroom for the day, or putting away their own belongings, they are immediately met with the sense of belonging and being included within their classroom.

One of our main goals at The Goddard School is for each of our students to reach their full potential, and that means more than teaching just academics.

The thing about a Goddard preschooler is they’re going to be curious. Keep the questions coming 👏

Personally, we’d hire them as videographers 📹

Kindergarten readiness can show up in everyday moments, not just big milestones. A few signals to notice:

1. They’re building confidence to try things independently. Examples: walking into a room first, asking for help, or giving something new a try.

2. They’re starting to recognize the letters in their name, even if they’re not reading just yet.

3. They’re showing care and responsibility at home. This could include things like helping pack a bag, feeding a pet, putting away toys, or getting through part of their routine with a little more ease.

Every child grows at their own pace - and readiness looks different for every family. Their preschool teachers can be a great partner in noticing strengths, celebrating progress, and helping you think through what comes next.
