The Goddard School® is powered by STEAM, fueled by Fun! 

After practicing law for 21 years, Jay Bryan was ready for a career change. He decided to combine his passion for educating 

children with his dream of owning his own business, which led him to open The Goddard School located in Sandy Springs, GA. 

Jay, a father of three, works to make sure every family enjoys a warm, positive experience. “We strive to provide the best quality 

program for each child,” he says. “Our play-based F.L.E.X.®Learning Program ensures that we meet the high standards 

specific to early learning development and care.” 

The F.L.E.X.®Learning Program (Fun Learning Experience) is grounded in research on how children learn best: children experience 

the deepest, most genuine learning when they are having fun. It’s designed to help build each child’s emotional, academic, 

social, creative and physical skills - including 21st century skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity and 

critical thinking (4Cs) - to provide a well-rounded experience and ensure each one becomes confident, joyful and fully prepared 

in school and in life. 21st century skills also tie in directly with STEAM learning (science, technology, engineering, arts anda 

mathematics). Introducing STEAM concepts early only helps to promote children’s natural curiosity in STEAM, increasing the 

chance that children will pursue STEAM-related careers later in life. 

“Supporting STEAM learning at the preschool level involves identifying activities children naturally do for opportunities to 

further guide them,” say Jay. “At The Goddard School, when children solve puzzles or play with blocks, they essentially create 

pathways in their brains that help with STEAM learning later on.” 

This method of fun, playful learning has been endorsed by The Goddard School’s Educational Advisory Board (EAB). The EAB 

is a knowledgeable group of educators, researchers and experts in child development, early learning, technology integration, 

brain development, parent engagement and health and nutrition. The EAB evolves and shapes The Goddard School’s playbased 

learning program, putting research into action and empowering children to become school-ready, career-ready and 

life-ready. 

Play-based learning is so effective that the results of a recent review by the Children’s Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA) 

show that Goddard School students score 45% higher on mathematics and literacy assessments compared to non-Goddard 

peers. These findings were verified by Hanover Research, and independent third-party research firm. The CPAA is an early 

childhood assessment system that assists teachers in making informed and individual instructional decisions.

The Goddard School located in Sandy Springs is located at 1150 Hammond Drive, Atlanta, GA.

Atlanta, GA 

Atlanta is the capital and most populous 

city in the U.S. state of Georgia. With an 

estimated 2018 population of 498,044, it is 

also the 37th most-populous city in the United 

States. The city serves as the cultural and 

economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan 

area, home to 5.9 million people and the 

ninth-largest metropolitan area in the nation. 

Atlanta is the seat of Fulton County, the most 

populous county in Georgia. Portions of the 

city extend eastward into neighboring DeKalb 

County. 

Atlanta was originally founded as the 

terminating stop of a major state-sponsored 

railroad. With rapid expansion, however, it 

soon became the convergence point between 

multiple railroads, spurring its rapid growth. 

The city’s name derives from that of the 

Western and Atlantic Railroad’s local depot, 

signifying the town’s growing reputation as a 

transportation hub. During the American Civil 

War, the city was almost entirely burned to 

the ground in General William T. Sherman’s 

famous March to the Sea. However, the city 

rose from its ashes and quickly became 

a national center of commerce and the 

unofficial capital of the “New South”. During 

the 1950s and 1960s, Atlanta became a 

major organizing center of the civil rights 

movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 

Ralph David Abernathy, and many other 

locals playing major roles in the movement’s 

leadership. During the modern era, Atlanta 

has attained international prominence as a 

major air transportation hub, with Hartsfield– 

Jackson Atlanta International Airport being 

the world’s busiest airport by passenger 

traffic since 1998. 

Atlanta is rated as a “beta(+)” world city 

that exerts a moderate impact on global 

commerce, finance, research, technology, 

education, media, art, and entertainment. 

It ranks in the top twenty among world 

cities and 10th in the nation with a gross 

domestic product (GDP) of $385 billion. 

Atlanta’s economy is considered diverse, with 

dominant sectors that include aerospace, 

transportation, logistics, professional and 

business services, media operations, 

medical services, and information technology. 

Atlanta has topographic features that include 

rolling hills and dense tree coverage, earning 

it the nickname of “the city in a forest.” 

Revitalization of Atlanta’s neighborhoods, 

initially spurred by the 1996 Summer 

Olympics, has intensified in the 21st century, 

altering the city’s demographics, politics, 

aesthetics, and culture. 

The history of Atlanta dates back to 1836, 

when Georgia decided to build a railroad to 

the U.S. Midwest and a location was chosen 

to be the line’s terminus. The stake marking 

the founding of “Terminus” was driven into 

the ground in 1837 (called the Zero Mile 



Post). In 1839, homes and a store were 

built there and the settlement grew. Between 

1845 and 1854, rail lines arrived from four 

different directions, and the rapidly growing 

town quickly became the rail hub for the entire 

Southern United States. During the American 

Civil War, Atlanta, as a distribution hub, 

became the target of a major Union campaign, 

and in 1864, Union William Sherman’s troops 

set on fire and destroyed the city’s assets and 

buildings, save churches and hospitals. After 

the war, the population grew rapidly, as did 

manufacturing, while the city retained its role 

as a rail hub. Coca-Cola was launched here 

in 1886 and grew into an Atlanta-based world 

empire. Electric streetcars arrived in 1889, 

and the city added new “streetcar suburbs”. 

The city’s elite black colleges were 

founded between 1865 and 1885, and 

despite disenfranchisement and the later 

imposition of Jim Crow laws in the 1910s, 

a prosperous black middle class and upper 

class emerged. By the early 20th century, 

“Sweet” Auburn Avenue was called “the 

most prosperous Negro street in the nation”. 

In the 1950s, blacks started moving into city 

neighborhoods that had previously kept them 

out, while Atlanta’s first freeways enabled 

large numbers of whites to move to, and 

commute from, new suburbs. Atlanta was 

home to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and a 

major center for the Civil Rights Movement. 

Resulting desegregation occurred in stages 

over the 1960s. Slums were razed and the 

new Atlanta Housing Authority built publichousing 

projects. 

From the mid-1960s to mid-’70s, nine 

suburban malls opened, and the downtown 

shopping district declined, but just north of it, 

gleaming office towers and hotels rose, and 

in 1976, the new Georgia World Congress 

Center signaled Atlanta’s rise as a major 

convention city. In 1973, the city elected 

its first black mayor, Maynard Jackson, and 

in ensuing decades, black political leaders 

worked successfully with the white business 

community to promote business growth, 

while still empowering black businesses. 

From the mid-’70s to mid-’80s most of the 

MARTA rapid transit system was built. While 

the suburbs grew rapidly, much of the city 

itself deteriorated and the city lost 21% of its 

population between 1970 and ‘90. 

In 1996, Atlanta hosted the Summer Olympics, 

for which new facilities and infrastructure 

were built. Hometown airline Delta continued 

to grow, and by 1998-9, Atlanta’s airport was 

the busiest in the world. Since the mid-’90s, 

gentrification has given new life to many of 

the city’s intown neighborhoods. The 2010 

census showed affluent blacks leaving the 

city for newer exurban properties and growing 

suburban towns, younger whites moving 

back to the city, and a much more diverse 

metropolitan area with heaviest growth in the 

exurbs at its outer edges. 

Scenic Drives 

Hit the road this year and experience these unbeatable scenic routes in Georgia: 

The Cohutta-Chattahoochee Scenic Byway, Dalton 

This drive travels through the stunning Chattahoochee and Oconee National Forests. 

Amid gentle rolling peaks, explore lush forest and streams with a relaxing stroll, kayak 

on the Ocoee River or enjoy the misty thrill of white-water rafting. Discover Native 

American history and trace the steps of the Civil War. 

The Russell Brasstown Scenic Byway, Blairsville 

If you’re drawn to majestic mountain scenery, enjoy a scenic drive through the Russell 

Brasstown Scenic Byway. This route, which takes you deep within the Chattahoochee 

National Forest, travels past sections of the Appalachian Trail, through Helen, Georgia’s 

little slice of Bavaria, up to Brasstown Bald, the highest mountain in Georgia, and past 

Vogel and Unicoi State Parks. Access the Russell Brasstown Scenic Byway by taking 

Interstate 985 north to Highway 23. Follow to State Route 384, then take State Route 

75 North to the byway. 

The Ridge and Valley Scenic Byway, Villanow 

Georgia is home to some of the most lush and fertile farmland in the South, and you 

can experience this for yourself on a journey along the Ridge and Valley Scenic Byway. 

Along this route, you’ll see 19th century farmhouses sprinkled in with breathtaking 

mountain stop-offs, including the Keown Falls Scenic Area, John’s Mountain Overlook 

and the Pocket. To get on the Ridge and Valley Scenic Byway, take Interstate 75 north 

to Exit 306, then travel west on State Route 140. Follow to Highway 27 and continue 

along the highway north until you reach State Route 156. 

The Historic Effingham-Ebenezer Scenic Byway (cities of Ebenezer, Guyton, Springfield, 

and Rincon) 

Take a tour through Southern history with a drive along the Historic Effingham-Ebenezer 

Scenic Byway. You can see the historic churches throughout Effingham County, explore 

American Revolution-era tavern sites, retrace the steps of George Washington and 

General Sherman and see the ferries and gorgeous waterways along the Savannah 

River. To take a scenic drive down the Historic Effingham-Ebenezer Scenic byway, get on 

Interstate 95 to Exit 109, then follow Highway 21 north to Fourth Street in Rincon where 

the byway begins. (Note: this is a long way from Atlanta. To get to I-95 from Atlanta 

take I-75 south to I-16 east to I-95 north. Basically, you drive almost to Savannah then 

head north.)
