Philosophy
Goddard schools use current, academically endorsed methods to ensure that children have fun while learning skills that foster success in school and in life. The school’s philosophy is built around STEAM, enrichment, nurturing environments, and safety. Science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics are a vital part of early childhood education and the Goddard School introduces STEAM early in the curriculum.
Programs
Their FLEX (Fun Learning Experience) learning program provides a well-rounded learning experience to help each child prepare for school, careers, and life. Students become academically proficient and ready for elementary school. They learn through experiences that promote the development of communication, creativity, and critical-thinking.
Food and Nutrition
The Goddard Schools offer a convenient food service program. They provide hot standard and vegetarian lunches for students. Parents may also send their children to school with a packed lunch.
