The Goddard School’s Dynamic Learning Through Play Curriculum Comes To Medina

Play Based Preschool Now Open For Enrollment

August 10, 2016 // Franchising.com // MEDINA, Minn. - Goddard Systems, Inc. (GSI), the franchisor of The Goddard School® preschool system, announces its newest school in Medina, MN is open. Located at 345 Clydesdale Trail, Medina, MN, the new school is owned by existing Plymouth franchisees Lisa and Aaron Amic.

Prior to joining The Goddard School, Lisa was a preschool teacher for seven years while her husband, Aaron, worked in Market Research. The couple originally heard about The Goddard School through word of mouth, and were immediately impressed by the School’s hands-on approach to teaching. After leading The Goddard School in Plymouth, MN to nearly a decade of success, Lisa and Aaron decided they wanted to continue providing quality childcare to the community with a new school in near-by Medina.  

The Goddard School preschool system prides itself on its unique dual-management system, a distinguisher in the early childhood education industry. Franchise owners are onsite at each location and work alongside an educational director, whose focus is to communicate and work with teachers, as well as to implement The Goddard School curriculum. This dual-management system ensures a hands-on, community-focused approach when it comes to early childhood education. With each school opening, The Goddard School also has a local economic impact, creating an average of 20 to 25 jobs within the community.  

The Goddard School’s play-based approach, called Fun, Learning Experience (or F.L.EX.®), is grounded in research on how children learn best: children experience the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun.

At The Goddard School, the focus is on building each child’s emotional, academic, social, creative and physical skills to provide a well-rounded experience and ensure each one becomes confident, joyful and fully prepared in school and in life.

“With nearly 30 years of experience in early childhood education, The Goddard School’s unique dual-management system creates lasting community bonds as owners are on-site at the Schools to provide support to the communities they serve,” said Joe Schumacher, Chief Executive Officer of Goddard Systems, Inc. “One area that truly sets us apart from other childcare systems is our philosophy based on learning through play, designed to teach and reinforce 21st century skills, including social behaviors such as communication, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. This philosophy fosters a lifelong love of learning and creates meaningful connections at an early age.”

Jobs relating to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) are currently the fastest growing segment of the U.S. economy, and a focus on developing 21st century skills such as creativity and innovation as well as the abilities to collaborate, communicate and think critically, is expected to increase over time. By introducing 21st century skill concepts early on, children develop a strong foundation and a passion for STEAM at the very beginning of their education.

“When Aaron and I first discovered The Goddard School more than a decade ago, our children were of preschool age, so we understood the need for a quality program in our community,” said franchisee, Lisa Amic. “After seeing the impact the play-based curriculum has had on not just our children, but other kids in the Plymouth community, we are eager to continue sharing our passion for teaching with families in Medina.”

The Goddard School located in Medina, MN is located at 345 Clydesdale Trail, Medina, MN, 55340. To reach this location, please call (763) 392-5260 or email MedinaMN@goddardschools.com. For general information and franchising opportunities, please visit www.goddardschoolfranchise.com.
