Posted on May 6, 2011 in Member

The Goddard School®, the premier preschool childcare center for children from six weeks to six-years-old, located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago at 1127 W. Armitage opened Monday, May 2nd. The new state-of-the-art 11,500+ square foot building has been designed to accommodate approximately 150 children. The new School will offer flexible schedules for children Monday through Friday, from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

On-site owner, Jason Pullukat, along with his Education Director, Gina Carlton, and faculty, which includes teachers trained and experienced in early childhood development, are eager to welcome children into this nurturing environment where the curriculum encourages learning through play.

Children are encouraged to develop at their own pace in a warm environment supported by a team of dedicated teachers.  The Goddard School FLEX™ Learning Program is based on a unique learning continuum that encompasses developmental guidelines, formative assessments and child-focused lesson plans that are delivered in a creative and fun environment with a child-centered approach to meet each child’s individual needs. 

The year-round program focuses on building a strong and balanced foundation of emotional, social, cognitive and physical skills.  Overseen by a team of Goddard Quality Assurance Representatives and licensed by the state, The Goddard School provides a safe and secure learning environment for children.

Goddard School owners are committed to providing the best early childhood development experience for the children in their communities.  In January of 2009, Goddard Systems, Inc. received company-wide accreditation from AdvancED by meeting their key accreditation standards including a research-based curriculum, teaching methods that enhance student learning and a commitment to continuous improvement. 

Goddard Schools support the on-going training of Goddard teachers by providing professional development courses on a quarterly basis through Goddard Systems University which has been approved as an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).
