In the infant and first steps programs, caring and supportive teachers foster social-emotional development through nurturing relationships with the children, while babies develop physical skills as they learn to move and manipulate toys. Our infant program guides your baby’s early experiences toward a lifelong love of learning. Goddard School teachers spend lots of time cuddling and talking to your baby to instill trust. They provide a healthy early learning environment for movement, exploration and communication. Our infant care play area is filled with toys and books to help your baby develop at his or her own pace. Teachers sing songs and read stories to encourage language acquisition, and they pass balls and play games to develop the children’s motor skills. Teachers work with the parents develop the child's daily schedule, including nap times, play times and feeding times. The First Steps classroom helps the children transition from infancy to toddlerhood as the budding explorers learn new vocabulary and self-help skills. In many Goddard Schools, teachers introduce sign language to encourage the children to express their thoughts and needs. All programs are customized to your child’s progress, needs and age.

As young learners begin to walk and talk regularly, their curiosity drives them to explore. The toddler and get set classrooms foster children’s developing independence by helping them hone valuable skills, such as the abilities to collaborate and communicate.

Perseverance is the ability to overcome obstacles to achieve a goal, which is essential to children’s success in school and in life. In the play-based preschool classroom, children develop this crucial trait by engaging in learning activities and sticking with them until they solve the problem or complete the project.

Young learners continue their journey of exploration and discovery in the pre-kindergarten classroom. Teachers help them apply their developing literacy and math skills through purposeful, planned learning experiences. The lesson plans allow children to learn from their teachers and from interactions with other children.

The private kindergarten program prepares children for success in first grade and beyond. The fun, engaging curriculum allows children to explore and discover their interests while learning academic essentials.
