Goleta’s very own neighborhood
Play-based preschool
We believe children learn best through play
We provide a nurturing, explorative environment and believe that children learn best through meaningful play - which helps them develop their individuality, positive self-esteem, and independence.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy at Goodland Little School is based upon play and activity. We recognize that children are naturally curious and engage in active exploration to make sense of their world. Our role as your child’s caregiver is not to provide all of the answers for them, but rather to provide the opportunities for discovery and learning.
The social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and creative aspects of each child's experience is encouraged through hands-on activities and learning. At the same time, we also help them learn to work within a community through self-expression, communication skills, and consideration for others.
We want to help your children thrive in their preschool, home, and our wider Goleta community!
