Spirit Week! Day 2: Flannel Day! 🍁

Aidan, Happy One-Year Anniversary 🦁💛 We are so lucky to have you!

Aidan is truly amazing! Over the past year, we have had the privilege of watching him grow and flourish into a teacher in the Lion Room. He has become someone we look to as a true veteran teacher, bringing wisdom, confidence, and a steady, calming presence to the classroom each and every day. Aidan is the calm that we all need, and his ability to create a nurturing, supportive, and loving environment makes such a meaningful difference for children.

The children and families in his care are truly better because he is here. His dedication, compassion, and commitment to the work shine through in everything he does. Aidan, we are so grateful to have you as part of our team and so proud of the growth you have made this past year. You are an incredible asset to the Lion Room, and we cannot wait to see all the wonderful things ahead for you!

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

💗 We wore pink today to show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness! Our little community came together to spread awareness, share hope and show support for all those affected by breast cancer. Together, we can make a difference!

Daniela is truly exceptional! Her calm, caring, and nurturing nature creates such a warm and reassuring environment for the little ones. She possesses the skills, confidence, and intuition of a veteran infant teacher, and it’s clear how much love and dedication she brings to her work every day. Her gentle approach and thoughtful care make such a meaningful difference to both the babies and their families.

Happy ONE-year anniversary, Daniela! 🎉💖What a wonderful milestone, and we are grateful to have you on the team. Here’s to many more years of making a difference in the lives of our littlest learners!

🚲💙What a fun day at our Annual Trike-A-Thon! Our little riders had a blast pedaling, smiling, and showing off their trike skills!

A HUGE thank you to all of our amazing families and supporters who helped us raise over $1,500 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and their important work in heart health and cancer research.

We are so proud of our little riders and so grateful for everyone who helped make this day such a success! 🚲✨💙

Every child deserves the chance to grow up. ❤️

In our classrooms, we celebrate the little things: a new friendship, a proud “I did it!” and another birthday. Supporting children facing cancer reminds us just how precious those everyday moments are.

For 11 years, our school community has come together for our St. Jude fundraiser. Year after year, your generosity has helped us exceed our goal. We are so grateful to every family, friend and neighbor who has kept this tradition of giving alive.

This year, we invite you to join us again. Your donation helps support treatment and research at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, giving children and their families hope for more birthdays, more milestones and more memories together.

Please consider donating and sharing this post. Any amount is appreciated, and sharing helps us reach someone who may be able to give.

Thank you for helping us teach our children that caring for others reaches far beyond our classroom walls. ❤️

Grandparent’s Day was one for the books! Our classrooms were extra full of smiles, hugs, stories, and a whole lot of love today.

Thank you to all of our grandparents and bonus guardians for being part of our village and making today so special. It really does take a village! ❤️

Every Goddard class has their own schedule, but here’s a peek of how a day can look:

9am: Morning meeting ☀️
Songs, check-ins and questions spark curiosity and connection.

11am: Outdoor Learning & Play 🍃
Climb, dig, build and explore the natural world.

12pm: Lunch! 🍎
Time to refuel and connect.

3pm: Learning Centers 🎨
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.
