Sensory fun! 🍎🥕🌽
We explored fruits and vegetables using our senses of sight, touch, and smell. The children loved comparing colors, textures, shapes, and sizes while discovering their favorites! 🌈✨
A fun hands-on activity that encouraged curiosity and observation skills. 💛

🚒🔥 Today our Dolphin Class became little firefighters!
Our friends learned about firefighters and used watered-down paint and straws to create their own “fire hoses” and practice putting out the flames! 💦🔥 They also explored primary colors and practiced mixing them to discover secondary colors. 🎨
Learning, creating, and having fun—all while putting out a few fires! 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒❤️

🔬❤️ Our Shark PreK Class became a junior scientists while learning about blood cells! Students discovered how red blood cells carry oxygen and white blood cells help fight germs. To reinforce their learning, they created pretend blood using red water beads and white balls to represent the different cells. What a fun, hands-on way to explore how our bodies stay healthy!

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.
