The importance of pretend play cannot be overstated. It may seem like simple role-play, but it's one of the best ways for children to process the world around them and practice different scenarios they are working to understand. Mix in applying different mathematic, social-emotional, and language skills and this play type is one of the most complex styles of learning. What's your favorite way to play pretend with your child?

In preparation for the weather continuing to cool down, make sure your little one is prepared for outside time! Double check their cubby at pick-up time to see what they may still need to be comfortable during outdoor play. 🍂😃

Time to refuel and connect.

Choice-driven play builds independence and imagination.

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.
