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

🚒❤️ Our tiny firefighters had the BEST visit! ❤️🚒

We had so much fun welcoming our local Columbus firefighters and their firetruck to school! Our friends got to get an up-close look at the truck, learn about fire safety, and see some of the special equipment our firefighters use to help keep our community safe. 🧯👩‍🚒

We are so grateful for the amazing men and women who serve our community and took the time to visit with our little learners! Thank you for making learning so fun (and exciting)! ❤️

🔨Construction Corner Comes to Life! 🔨

We had a very special visitor today! Riley from Construction Corner stopped by to teach our little learners all about catapults! ✨

Through hands-on experimenting, the children explored height, weight, cause and effect, and lots of BIG motion as they tested their catapults—sending bean bags and adorable monkey stuffies flying through the air! 🚀🐒

And the sweetest part? Each child got to take home one of the little monkey stuffies as a keepsake from our catapult experiment—a special reminder of a day filled with curiosity, discovery, and FUN! 🐒💕

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.

💙 Helping children understand BIG feelings! 💙

At The Goddard School, we believe social-emotional learning is just as important as academic learning. That’s why we use the RULER approach to help children develop the skills they need to recognize, understand, label, express, and regulate their emotions.

Recently, our toddlers explored emotions through play using emotion puppets. As they acted out different scenarios, they practiced identifying and labeling feelings like happy, sad, surprised, and worried. They also learned to recognize facial expressions and other emotional clues, helping them think about what a friend might be feeling and how they could respond with kindness and empathy.

These everyday moments build important life skills, including:
✨ Emotional awareness
✨ Empathy
✨ Problem-solving
✨ Communication
✨ Self-regulation

By giving children the language and confidence to express their emotions, we’re helping them build strong relationships, resilience, and a foundation for lifelong success.
