The Goddard School

About The Goddard School

The Goddard School is a center-based early care and education program for the students and families of Houston. Attending centers like The Goddard School can benefit students who’re ready for a school-like environment, rich in activities, resources and opportunities to learn and grow, but don’t want to sacrifice on the close relationships with peers and staff that you’d expect from any child care provider. Students at The Goddard School join a community of learners that will explore, play and grow together. In addition, The Goddard School conveniently proffers a full-time schedule, helpful for busy working parents that want their children to have the best when they need to be apart. Children at The Goddard School benefit from the full-time schedule too as the dedicated time to be amongst their peers promotes growth, development and stimulates creativity and learning. The structure during the day gives children many opportunities to be themselves, play, explore, and have all manners of fun, all in a day! The Goddard School also proffers a Reggio Emilia curriculum that place emphasis on relationships, culture, and constructivist learning. Students and families can expect a Reggio Emilia school like The Goddard School to be very community-focused, both within and outside of the classroom, and teach the principles of respect and responsibility even at such an early age. The Reggio Emilia method also emphasizes discovery, exploration and play, often through the sensory experiences of touching, moving, and listening, and seeks to develop the whole student by activating students to have boundless ways of expressing themselves and taking some control over their own education.
