Students at Gosch learn about self-regulation. Conscious Discipline helps us to teach the students to get ready to problem solve by intentionally teaching the students to identify their emotions and learn how to deal with them. Intense feelings such as anger, frustration, anxiety and fear may be something that your child encounters when beginning school. Our staff utilize strategies from Dr. Becky Bailey to support our students as they learn to manage their emotions.
New to Carrie Gosch ELC this school year is The Baby Doll Circle Time. The circle time is designed to teach students empathy. Specifically, The Baby Doll Circle Time incorporates skills such as attention, self-regulation, impulse control and initiative. Learning these skills help students develop positive relationships with others and supports academic learning. The circle time is facilitated through engaging social activities, such as singing and rhyming and is presented as play to the students. There is also a connection from home to school that is created during this activity.
If you would like to learn more about Conscious Discipline or the Baby Doll Circle, let your child's teacher know. Your child's teacher will provide printed information. If we have enough interested parties, we will host an informational session at Gosch in the Parent Cafe.

Hi! I'm Mrs. Bradley! This is my first year teaching at Carrie Gosch Early Learning Center. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Purdue University Calumet. I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful team of teachers and School Family. This school year will be filled with fun, LOTS of learning and new adventures!
Hello! My name is Katie Badger, and I am so excited to be a part of the Carrie Gosch family. I look forward to a year full of exploring and learning!
I graduated from Purdue University in 2018, where I dual-majored in elementary and special education. I student-taught in a first grade classroom in Valparaiso, and spent a year teaching kindergarten in Gary. Both of these experiences have shown me what a joy it is to work with young children. They are curious, lively, and never run out of interesting things to say!
One of my favorite things to teach is art. It makes learning so much more meaningful and fun, and I love getting to see my students express their creativity. I can’t wait to get started on this year’s projects!
Once again, I am thrilled to be joining the Carrie Gosch team. I will do my best to help make this year a successful one, and I look forward to meeting you!
Hi, my name is Kris Steele, I graduated from Indiana University Northwest with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Special Education Mild Interventions. My family and I love spending time outdoors when the weather permits. One of our favorite things to do is riding our bikes around the Lake.
School Family,
It is our extreme pleasure to begin this school year with you and your child! Our teaching staff has been working during the summer months and there are some exciting new things in store for us. This year we will feature a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) club for 4 year-olds. Our newly adopted curriculum, Ready to Soar, has some highly engaging material for our youngsters and we know that they will learn as they experience the new curriculum. We would like to present our newly printed Policies and Procedures Handbook. We will share the handbooks with you at our Open House on August 28, 2019 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The Carrie Gosch Early Learning Center is happy to introduce some new staff members. Ms. Steele, Ms. Hodjnicki, Ms. Badger and Ms. Bradley will join us this school year. We say farewell to Ms. Anderson, Ms. Babusiak and Mr. Rosado. They have moved on this year and we wish them well with their new endeavors.
I am drafting a letter to let you know who your child's teacher is and which arrival door to use. The letter should arrive at your home very soon and will contain an invite to our "Mini- Open House" on Tuesday, August 13, 2019 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. When you join us at the "Mini Open-House" we will sign you up for our Class Dojo, provide some information about e-Learning, our Attendance Policy and details about the first morning arrival. Please bring your child's school supplies to the "Mini-Open House" so that the students aren't burdened with carrying supplies on the first day of school.
School hours are 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Wednesday, August 14, 2019 is the first day of school. We will meet you at your assigned door at 9:00 AM. Reduce your speed while you are in the parking lot and please obey the directives of the Safety Specialists. The Safety Specialists will tell you where to park. Please note that you will need to remain with your child so that you can sign him/her in for the day. We ask that you turn off your ignition and walk your child to their assigned door. Please hold your child/ren's hand as you walk to the door.
We are looking forward to building a favorable partnership with you this school year and wish to welcome you to our School Family.
