The Goddard School At The Goddard School, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k.

Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment. The Goddard School® offers innovative education and personalized care for infants through pre-k.

Our Pre-K had a gallery opening. 🎨

Not a craft table — an exhibition. Curated, matted, labeled, with an
artist statement beside every single piece. Because the painting isn't
the point. The thinking behind it is.

And our favorite: 👹 Feed the Worry Monster. The kids built a monster
from a tissue box, then drew or wrote down whatever was bothering them
and fed it to him. A four-year-old often can't say "I'm nervous" — but
they can draw it, fold it, and let it go.

Then we let them tour it. Pointing at their own work. Finding their
friends' names. Explaining their process to anyone who'd listen.

A child seeing their work framed and labeled learns something you can't
teach directly: what I made matters enough to be displayed. 💛

This is what "learning through play" looks like when you take it
seriously.

None of this is a toy. 🧠

Every single thing in this video is building the hand muscles your child needs to hold a pencil — and the independence their kindergarten teacher is quietly counting on.

🔩 Nuts and bolts → wrist rotation. Same motion as a doorknob or a jar lid.
📌 Clothespin on a letter card → the pincer grip. Literally the same three fingers that hold a pencil.
🪢 Rubber bands on a pegboard → finger isolation and hand strength.
🎒 Zipping a bag → two hands doing two different jobs at once.
🥤 Twisting a pouch cap → grip strength, and not needing an adult at snack time.
📄 Tearing paper → hand strength most kids don't get anymore.

This is what "learning through play" actually means. It isn't a slogan. It's a four-year-old's hands getting strong enough to write their own name. ✏️

Save this and try three of them at home this week. 💛

"How many tomatoes did you pick?"

"One thousand." 🍅

End-of-season harvest in our garden. The kids grew these from seed — including our first-ever pumpkins, seven of them, and almost every classroom got one.

Miss Susie says it best: most kids think food comes from a store. Here, they know it comes from dirt, water, and waiting. 🌱

Our favorite moment didn't make the highlight reel: one of our little ones announced "I don't like tomatoes." Miss Susie didn't argue, didn't bargain. Just: "You can still pick them."

He picked about forty. 🧺

(And yes — a lot of these went home to moms and dads tonight.) 💛

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.
