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

Happy Birthday, Ms. Marissa!

We just celebrated your one-year anniversary, and now two days later, we get to celebrate YOU! At this point, we might as well make it a week-long celebration!

You spend your days spoiling your students, so today it’s your turn to be spoiled! We hope you take some time to treat yourself, relax, and enjoy your day because you deserve it just as much as your little ones do.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Marissa! We hope your day is as fun and special as you make every day for your students!

Happy One Year Anniversary, Ms. Marissa!

We’re so lucky we found you last year and that you became part of our team. You fit right in from day one, and we’re so happy to have you here!

You show your students so much compassion, love, and patience every day. You make sure every child in your classroom feels cared for, safe, and happy. Your classroom is always such a fun place to be, and it’s easy to see how much your students love being there with you.

We’re so grateful for everything you bring to our team. Happy one year!

Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Today we take time to learn about and honor the many Indigenous peoples, cultures, traditions, languages, and communities that have been part of our country’s history for generations.
In our classrooms, we believe it’s never too early to help children learn about different cultures with kindness, curiosity, and respect.

Today is a reminder to celebrate the rich traditions and contributions of Indigenous peoples and to continue learning from their stories, art, music, and traditions.

Learning about others helps us grow, understand, and appreciate the beautiful diversity of our world.

We especially feel so safe when you’re on duty because we know you’ve got everything under control! We hope you have an amazing day and get spoiled a little because you truly deserve it!

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.
