EDUCATION SPONSORED

CHOOSING THE BEST SCHOOL
FOR YOUR CHILD

1. A Solid Reputation
Asking trusted friends about their
good experiences is a great way to start.
Consider schools that have received awards
voted for by the community and speak to
current parents.

2. Passionate & Qualified Teachers
Look for a school like Goddard that ensures
all teachers are trained in early childhood
education and development. We insist that
teachers pass a detailed background check
and have real experience. Our teachers are
also required to continue their education
through professional development
opportunities and mandatory training.

3. A Safe, Comforting Environment
Does the school have perimeter security
for controlling access to the school and
biotechnology systems to keep the children
safe? In addition to complying with all
CDC requirements and taking traditional
precautions, each location is equipped with
a Biodefense System for microbial reduction
in the HVAC system, as well as the Zono
Disinfecting and Sanitizing Cabinet for toys
and shared equipment.

4. Active Learning
A child’s natural inclination for exploration
and investigation needs to be encouraged.
Look for schools with a formal socio-
emotional development curriculum and
seek schools that use current, academically
endorsed methods to ensure children have
fun while learning the skills they need for
long-term success.

5. Child-Friendly
Every child is unique. Our philosophy is that
learning shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Look
for a school that has a similar approach. The
Goddard F.L.EX.® framework (Fun Learning
Experience) gives teachers flexibility in their
lesson plans and teaching style which allows
them to tailor educational experiences for a
one-of-a-kind approach.

Before making your final selection, we hope
you’ll consider The Goddard School Sandy
Springs. Call 470-571-1700 and I would be
