🎉 15 Years Ago Today… It All Began! 🎉

On October 10, 2011, our doors officially opened for the very first time. ❤️

What started 15 years ago as a vision to create a place where children could learn, grow, explore, and feel loved has grown into an incredible school family filled with thousands of memories, friendships, milestones, and little moments that have made all the difference.

Over the past 15 years, we have watched children take their very first steps, say their first words, make their first friends, learn to read, graduate from Kindergarten, and head off to their next big adventure. We have welcomed countless families through our doors and had the privilege of watching so many children grow from tiny infants into confident young learners.

And behind every one of those moments has been an amazing team of educators who have poured their hearts into our school and our children. Our teachers, directors, and staff are truly the heart of what makes this place so special.

To all of the families, children, teachers, and friends who have been part of our journey over these 15 years — thank you. You are the reason we get to do what we love every single day.

As we look back on where we started and everything we have accomplished, we are filled with so much gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead.

Happy 15th Anniversary to The Goddard School-Hershey! 🥳🎈

Here’s to 15 years of learning, growing, loving, and making memories — and to many more years to come! ❤️

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.
