School Notes
- The Goddard Schooluses its play-based F.L.EX.Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) to introduce STEAM concepts (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) to help children develop a strong foundation for their future education and a passion for STEAM learning. By including the arts, we encourage children to communicate, collaborate and think critically and creatively, skills essential to all careers.

- Children who express themselvescreativelyshow less frustration, a joy for learning and an appreciation for other perspectives;Executive function skills, such as planning, organizing and strategizing, help children develop self-regulation, inhibitory control, working memoryand cognitive flexibility, which allow children to learn new ideas and develop their social-emotional capabilities;
