In our preschool classroom, children develop this crucial trait by engaging in learning activities and sticking with them until they solve the problem or complete the project.
Young learners continue their journey of exploration and discovery in our pre-kindergarten classroom. Teachers help them apply their developing literacy and math skills through purposeful, planned learning experiences.
To learn more about the age-appropriate opportunities we provide for your child to explore and discover, visit www.GoddardSchool.com/PittsfordNY or call 585-381-0160 today!

Our camps are led by experienced teaching artists, each of whom are accomplished writers, performers, and artists in their own right, who also have a talent for bringing out the best from creative young minds.

 YMCA of Greater Rochester
Overnight, day or specialty camps at the Y share one thing: they’re about discovery. Kids have the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. And, of course, it’s fun too.
Camping, like many Y programs, is about learning skills, developing character, and making friends. But few environments are as special as camp, where kids become a community as they learn both how to be more independent and how to contribute to a group as they engage in physical, social and educational activities. Camping teaches self-reliance, a love for nature and the outdoors, and the development of attitudes and practices that build character and leadership—all amidst the fun of camp fires, bugle calls, canoeing, archery, talent shows, and meaningful relationships. Y counselors are dedicated to making sure camp is an amazing experience for every camper.
We have over 100 years of experience in providing a safe, thriving environment for young people to explore personal interests, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills, discover the creativity and health benefits of the outdoors, and make lasting friendships and memories.
