The F.L.E.X.® Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is grounded in research on how children learn best: children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun. It’s designed to help build each child’s emotional, academic, social, creative, and physical skills to provide a well-rounded experience and ensure each one becomes confident, joyful, and fully prepared in school and in life.

The First Steps and Pre-Toddler classrooms help children transition from infant to toddler as the budding explorers learn new vocabulary and self-help skills. Children also develop motor skills and begin to learn shapes, sizes, and colors.  

Children continue to make developmental strides in the Toddler classroom. They practice washing their hands, putting on their coats, sharing with their friends, and discovering the answers to their favorite question: “Why?” The program provides the consistent structure toddlers crave and includes a healthy balance of fun classroom activities and outdoor playtime every day.

The Get Set classroom smooths the transition from the Toddler classroom to the Preschool classroom, focusing on learning areas such as language arts, creative art, social science, nature studies, and music and movement.

The Goddard School has an open-door policy. It invites families to visit and learn more about these and other programs, participate in special celebrations, get involved in the School, and attend special events to foster relationships with other families, which helps to strengthen the home/school connection.
