The Goddard School® has published a book! 🎠 📘 Follow Blueberry the Carousel Horse and her friends as their world opens up when children begin asking interesting questions. This book highlights the power of curiosity, which is the basis of Goddard’s proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning™. At The Goddard School Chicago (West Loop), we know that by letting children ask questions and make their own discoveries, that’s when real learning happens. As you read this interactive story, you’ll see this happen in real-time with your own children. Purchase a copy today: https://bit.ly/3WN9aDv

Children experience all the same emotions as adults, but they aren’t yet equipped with the tools to handle those feelings. The first step toward understanding their big feelings is helping them learn how to recognize and name their emotions. At The Goddard School Chicago (West Loop) we like asking open-ended questions like “What is something that makes you happy or sad?” or “Can you show me what face you make when you are happy, sad or angry?” This gives children the opportunity to share their emotions and show what they know about them. This exercise had Goddard students using emojis to identify each emotion in honor of World Emoji Day. 😊😕😆😥😴 Give it a try with your little one!

Did you know that between the ages of 2 and 5 years old, children ask an average of 40,000 questions? We say, bring them on! Our Wonder of Learning™ education program, found only at The Goddard School®, is the most innovative, well-researched program on the market, focused on how children learn best: through play, exploration and following their natural curiosity. By asking questions and finding their own answers (then asking more questions!), children develop a lifelong love of learning.
