More child care spaces and teaching jobs are coming to Greenpoint with the opening of a new early learning center.<\/p>\n
The Goddard School<\/a> will open its first Brooklyn location in August, expanding the early childhood education franchise into the borough and marking its seventh school in New York City.<\/p>\n The Greenpoint campus<\/a> will increase local child care options, serve about 140 children and create 30 teaching jobs.<\/p>\n Located at 85 Commercial St.,\u00a0the 10,175-square-foot school will feature 11 classrooms designed for infants and young children. The campus will also include an indoor movement area, multiple outdoor playgrounds and hospital-grade sanitation equipment to help maintain a healthy learning environment.<\/p>\n The school is owned by local parent Poonam Sharma, who chose to bring the franchise to Brooklyn after recognizing a need for more high-quality child care in the community.<\/p>\n “I was inspired to bring The Goddard School to Brooklyn after exploring child care options for my own family and seeing an opportunity to introduce a higher standard of early childhood education to the community,” said Sharma. “We are committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment for children and their families and look forward to becoming a trusted resource for working parents.”<\/p>\n The school’s signature Wonder of Learning<\/a>\u00a0curriculum emphasizes\u00a0inquiry-based education, encouraging children to learn through exploration, curiosity and hands-on experiences. The program combines teacher-guided activities with ongoing assessments of children’s academic and social-emotional growth.<\/p>\n The Greenpoint school is scheduled to welcome students in August. Families interested in enrollment can learn more about its programs and admissions process through The Goddard <\/a>School<\/a>‘s website or by contacting the campus directly.<\/p>\n The franchise serves nearly 100,000 children from 6 weeks to 6 years old across 37 states and Washington, D.C., making the Brooklyn location its latest expansion in the New York City area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More child care spaces and teaching jobs are coming to Greenpoint with the opening of a new early…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,113785,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-299452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-childcaregreenpointgoddard-school","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
