Barbara Mudd, MSW
Social Worker
Goodyear Early Childhood Center
It is a priviledge to be entering my 15th year as Social Worker at the Goodyear Early Childhood Center.  Here I have been fortunate enough to wear many hats -- PPT (Planning and Placement Team) Coordinator, Educational Chairperson and Birth to Three Liason.  The highlight of my job is teaching social skills groups in all of the Goodyear classrooms with my popular puppet, Lion O'Brien! 
 
All social skill groups start off with the singing of the Goodyear Song.  The words to the song are intended to reinforce the sense of community that we value so much at Goodyear.  We want every child who attends Goodyear to have a strong sense of belonging and to know that we view each and every one of them as a unique and important part of our Goodyear community!

                                                                                   The Goodyear Song
                                                                                (sung to the tune of Baby Beluga)
                                                                                                         lyrics by Barbara Mudd
                                             
                                                                         Goodyear School is for you and me
                                                                          Goodyear School is the place to be
                                                                Bright, cheery rooms with the sun shining through
                                                                        And there's always so much to do
                                                                              Oh Goodyear is my school
                                                                                Goodyear is your school
                                                                                 Come and see us grow
                                                                                 And you'll surely know
                                                                                  Why we're so happy!
                                       
                                                                 Goodyear is the place where we learn and play
                                                                       We care about each other every day
                                                          My friends circle around me holding hands so tight 
                                                                   And I know that I am feeling just right
                                                       
                                                                               Oh Goodyear is my school
                                                                                Goodyear is your school
                                                                                  We're so very proud
                                                                                   So we sing out loud
                                                                                    We love to be here
 
                                                                             Goodyear School is for you and me
                                                                             Goodyear School is the place to be
                                                               Bright, cheery rooms with the sun shining through
                                                                           And there's always so much to do!
