🎉✨ Congratulations to our Employee of the Month, Ms. Juannie! ✨🎉
Since joining The Goddard School of Meridian in the summer of 2022, Ms. Juannie has been a shining example of teamwork, positivity, and determination. She started as a resource teacher, supporting all of our classrooms, before finding her perfect fit with our terrific 2-year-olds as an assistant teacher.

No matter what the day brings, Ms. Juannie brings her smile, her flexibility, and her can-do attitude, always ready to jump in and help wherever she’s needed. Her hard work and dedication make her such an invaluable part of our team and we’re so lucky to have her.

Don't forget, tomorrow is SPLASH DAY!

Today’s STEAM challenge was bursting with creativity!
Our students designed and built their very own 3D bubble wands using a variety of materials—exploring shapes, structure, and stability. Then came the best part: dipping them into bubble solution to see how their creations performed!
From cubes to triangles and everything in between, this hands-on experiment sparked curiosity, critical thinking, and lots of giggles. Learning through play has never looked so bubbly! 🫧

Huge thanks to KD Exotic for an unforgettable morning of reptile fun! 🐍 Our students had a blast getting up close and personal with some scaly friends! Hands-on learning like this brings science to life and sparks so much curiosity. We can't wait to welcome you back soon!

To the dads who show up for drop-off, story time, snack duty and everything in between, Happy Father’s Day 💙
