We had our 5-year old daughter in the Goddard school on Davis Drive in Morrisville for a short period, for three or four months due to a family matter. We had a time gap between us working full time and the first day our daughter went to a year-around school. From the first minute our daughter walked in the Goddard School, she felt welcomed and important. Every day I struggled to get her in the car to drive back home because she did not want to leave. She always wanted to stay more and play. Every day teachers have had some kind of projects for the kids with arts, math, reading, and learning overall. One day, I was truly amazed on the topic of the lesson the kids were involved in. The Dinosaurs. The 5-year olds were able to recognize and name the dinosaurs one can find in the encyclopedia. How about that?! Sign language, yoga, early reading, creativity, and etc The Davis drive branch teaches kids to recognize and appreciate different cultures, which I think is the most important part of social co-existence. During the time of our enrollment, we were invited (almost every Saturday) to either a food festival, or parent-child walk, or family movie. In other words, the directors kept us busy. At the end of every day, the parents receive a daily card report on how their kids interacted during the day and what their kids have learned.\r
The staff members and teachers are very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I had no doubts or concerns leaving my daughter with class teachers ( I really would like to name teachers here, but I will leave them incognito due to security reasons).\r
Another thing I would like to point out is wooden furniture and toys. For those of you who are in the organic lifestyle, this is a big plus. \r
To conclude, I would like to mention a Graduation Day. The Graduation Day was held at the City of Morrisville Town Hall. The first part of Graduation celebration was dedicated to a different culture presentation. The kids performed a graduation song wearing their national folk costumes. Hawaiian, Russian, American, Indian, Irish, Australian
