The Goddard School®, the nation’s leading premium early childhood education provider, recently introduced its exclusive inquiry-based education program, Wonder of Learning™. Backed by expert knowledge, data-driven insight and unwavering compassion for growing minds, this innovative program embraces how children learn best – through their innate curiosity.
Operating a Goddard School enables franchisees to provide a vital resource for their communities and support the development and well-being of young children through Wonder of Learning. The program’s cutting-edge curriculum is unique to the market, focusing on building age-appropriate academic, social and emotional skills through curiosity, collaboration, and discovery. With teacher-guided inquiry topics, children learn about themselves and the world around them by exploring their interests, investigating concepts and asking questions.
“Wonder of Learning is an integrated program that meaningfully impacts everyone in the Goddard ecosystem,” said Dennis R. Maple, chairman and CEO of Goddard Systems, LLC. “It provides a world-class education for children and enhanced communication and reporting for families, while also offering exceptional training for teachers and a point of difference for our franchisees.”
To encourage all families to practice inquiry-based learning at home, The Goddard School published a children’s book, “Curious Blueberry the Carousel Horse,” written by award-winning author Steve Metzger and illustrated by Bruno Robert. This interactive story explores the power of curiosity and offers tips and activities for caregivers to foster a lifelong love of learning in their children.
