The Goddard School

The Goddard School located in Plymouth at the intersection of Highway 55 and County Road 24. Our state-of-the-art School was designed specifically for children between the ages of six weeks and six years old. In addition to our standard program, we also offer a summer program for children up to seven years of age.

Lisa and Pam, co-owners of the School, both have degrees in elementary education. Lisa was inspired by her three children to open a Goddard School because she saw the importance of a quality preschool to develop children to their fullest potential. Pam has taught primary age children for 26 years and sees the importance of an early childhood education as a foundation for lifelong learning.

The Goddard School program will make a positive difference in your child’s life. Our program is designed to enhance the emotional, social, intellectual and physical development of your child in a warm and loving environment. We believe that preschool should be both a fun and educational experience, and that our biggest responsibility is to instill a lifelong love of learning!

The Goddard School located in Plymouth offers the option for families to either bring their child’s lunch or choose a catered hot lunch from Caravan Kids Catering. Two healthy snacks, including lots of fruits and vegetables, are provided each day.

Our year-round extended day program runs from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We offer two, three, four and five day a week programs, either half or full days. In addition to our standard curriculum, we incorporate the following programs into each day’s activities:

Scholastic Reading Line
Scholastic Building Language for Literacy
Math Readiness with Everyday Math
Sign Language
Spanish
Fitness
Nutrition
Manners
Art History
Yoga
Handwriting Without Tears

We communicate specifically what your child participates in each day via our personalized Daily Activity Report. This report gives you information to help you talk to and ask your child questions about his/her day at school. The activities on the daily report come from our daily lesson plans, which our teachers write based on the development of the children in their classroom. Children are encouraged to progress at their own pace according to their individual needs and abilities. Our School has been designed to provide a safe and healthy environment. Our classrooms are spacious and bright, and we have two separate playgrounds that have been designed to challenge and delight children of any age.

Lisa and Pam would love you to come in for a tour so we can explain all of the details of our program, show you the classroom your child will be in and introduce you to the classroom teachers. We will be sure to answer all of your questions, as well as update you about our scheduling and availability.
