Goodman Family Childcare & Preschool

read moreHere at our childcare program we strive to go above and beyond to provide quality customer service for our families and to provide the highest quality care for your children. Our #1 goal is to assist parents in getting their child the skills they need, such as socializing with others, being self sufficient, being able to self regulate, and building self esteem. I believe in balance of learning through play and communication as well as academic learning letters, numbers and cognitive learning. We believe in learning outdoors and go outside daily rain or shine.

I enroll in cohorts Cohort 1 has 2-3 year olds and Cohort 2 has 4-5 year olds. Using cohorts helps the children bond with students in their age and learning levels, encourages stability and allows them to graduate to kindergarten together. Right now it is too hard watching infants and monitoring distance learning at the same time. Our program provides a high quality Creative Curriculum that is also used by Head Start in Oregon.

We also use the Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment Tools to monitor the children's developments and to make ongoing goals for them in the classroom. We believe in a balance of social-emotional and academic curriculum. Our goal is to assist you in getting your child ready for a successful Kindergarten experience. Children learn from each other by role playing and dramatic play. We work with children to problem solve and to learn to get along with others.
