The Goddard School

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Today we're highlighting our fantastic Pre-Toddler teachers, from the Mt. Fuji and Mt. Everest classrooms. Our Pre-Toddler teachers are tremendously talented at building our young students' independence and introducing them to experience of a structured classroom environment. They grow and learn so incredibly much with them that when they finally move on to the Toddler rooms, they are confident and more than prepared for the next challenges! We are so thankful for the hard work and dedication of these teachers and ask you to join us in celebrating them today!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! To celebrate, Goddard has teamed up with some special guests to help express just how much we admire and cherish our teachers. Thank you for all that you do and for choosing our School to call home!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Today we're celebrating the amazing teachers in our First Steps classrooms, Amazon and Sahara. The teachers in our First Steps classrooms provide a solid foundation for our younger students as they begin to adjust to a regular school routine, and they are fortunate to be present for some of our little ones most precious milestones! They are uniquely talented in preparing our students for the next steps in their educational journey and we are so thankful for everything they do!

It's National Teachers Appreciation Week and we are celebrating all our amazing teachers here at The Goddard School, beginning with the stewards of our littlest learners, our fantastic Infant Team! The teachers in our Infant classrooms, Atlantic and Pacific, are some of the most dedicated members of our faculty, and they ensure that our youngest students begin their early education journey on the right foot. Their classrooms are filled with love, devotion and careful attention to each child and their individual needs. We are grateful every day for everything they do!

We know that going from classrooms to Zoom rooms has been an adjustment for both you and your child this past year, and it’s natural that your family might be feeling Zoomed out. In this video, childcare experts and Goddard School owners discuss this feeling and some of the other challenging aspects of virtual learning in early childhood education. While families and teachers have done all they can to make the best of virtual learning, many agree that there’s nothing quite ...like an in-person experience, which is why we’re excited about our fun, educational, in-person summer learning program! We’re ready to put the virtual learning challenges behind us to welcome more children back to our School for summer learning fun! If you want to enroll your child in our summer learning program, or find out more about it, give us a call at (646) 809-3555. See more
