Floating Teacher- Goddard School of Arvada (Ward Road)

The Goddard School located in Arvada, CO (Ward Road) is seeking fun, energetic individuals looking to grow in their teaching career. Our goal is to help children develop a lifelong love of learning. Our teachers work in a student-centered, nurturing environment with the support and collaboration of management, staff and families.

Our School’s Vision:

The Goddard School is a preschool that provides research-based, high quality, play-based learning which promotes positive social and academic success for a diverse group of learners. Our goal is to provide students with the tools and skills they need to both succeed in the classroom and as they explore real life experiences. Students are provided the opportunity to access their own learning in an age-appropriate setting, with the support of a caring teacher, in an environment in which they feel safe. We empower our students by encouraging them to expand their knowledge by exploring more opportunities through our fun enrichment programs as well. No matter what level your child is working at, we hope to provide a curriculum that promotes creativity, independence, critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and analytical skills; skills they will carry with them throughout their future academic success.

In the everyday interactions, we encourage students to make meaningful connections with peers, gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and explore interests, experiences, & activities that the students enjoy. Our staff will work to provide nurturing leadership and support, which will facilitate an environment that encourages inclusion and differentiated instruction to meet the individual needs of each student. We will accomplish this by working collaboratively with one another, parents, and administration to provide each student with the tools they need to become active learners. We strongly believe with a close and collaborative partnership, together we can make Goddard an even better place for students to learn, grow, and achieve. Together our goal is to create a learning environment that effectively empowers creativity and diversity, while providing our children with the skills and excellence they need in order to be successful life-long learners.
