GOODRICH CHILDREN'S CENTER
EARLY LEARNING & SCHOOL AGE PROGRAMS
Goodrich Children’s Center offers high-quality preschool and childcare for children ages 3 years through 5th grade. Our preschool programs are thoughtfully designed to inspire every child to explore, grow, and develop a lifelong love of learning. We follow a HighScope-inspired curriculum and participate in the Great Start to Quality rating system. We are very proud of our highly qualified teaching staff and the meaningful relationships they build with students and families.
Our school-age program provides a safe, engaging, and fun environment for students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Children take part in a variety of small and large group games and activities that promote learning, friendship, and enrichment beyond the regular school day. Oaktree students will be transported to and from Reid Elementary.

Children's Center Preschool
Children’s Center – Tuition – Based Preschool 3 & 4 Year Olds
At Goodrich Children’s Center, our preschool program offers families a safe, caring, and joyful environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow. In our 3-year and 4-year-old classrooms, learning comes to life through hands-on experiences, imaginative play, and meaningful interactions that spark curiosity and build confidence.
We believe children thrive when they feel supported and inspired. That’s why we create enriching, creative spaces where teacher-guided learning is thoughtfully balanced with child-led exploration — nurturing independence, critical thinking, and a genuine love of learning that lasts well beyond the preschool years.
Key details about the Children’s Center:
- Cost: This is a tuition-based program. Discounted tuition is offered to preschool families who attend 3+ days and need extended care.
- Eligibility: Residency is NOT a factor in placement. All children who meet age criteria are welcome to enroll. All enrolling students must be potty-trained to attend.
