About The Goddard School of Huntingdon Valley:
The philosophy of The Goddard School is that children learn through play. Our F.L.EX.® Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is based on academic research that shows children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun.Play allows children to imagine and experience new situations and learn from them. When children play house, they can safely try on the roles of parents or spouses. This type of play develops empathy, communication skills and the ability to solve problems creatively. Play involves experimenting with different activities, such as drawing or sculpting with modeling clay. Engaging in these playful activities helps children become more creative, which helps them learn how to solve different problems.When children participate in a wide variety of high-quality play experiences, they are better prepared for life. This is why The Goddard School is the best childhood preparation for social and academic success; we ensure children have fun while learning the skills they need to become school-ready, career-ready and life-ready.
