I highly recommend the Goddard School in Southlake. My husband and I found Goddard for our, then, 17 month-old son by chance when it first opened. Now, more than three years later with two additional children, I can truly say that Goddard is a part of our family. We have experienced every class Goddard has to offer, and we continue to be amazed by the level of learning, the well-thought-out curriculum, and the professionalism of the staff. The teachers are loving, well-educated, and genuinely care about my children. This school has curriculum that is geared to engage children with all types of learning development whether ahead, behind, or right on target. Their curriculum implements cutting edge technology with computer exercises as well as the impressive Promethean Board. About a year and a half ago, Goddard began using a software program that allows the teachers to post digital pictures of my children taken throughout the day along with paperless daily activity sheets. As a working mother, I not only love getting email notifications of pictures and updates throughout the day, but I also don’t feel quite so removed from my children during the day. My two youngest children entered Goddard’s infant program at 12 weeks-old. The nursery teachers are incredibly loving and nurturing, and I have the upmost respect for them as I do for the entire staff. My children continue to impress me with things they have learned at school. They are happy going to school, which is important me, and are never “ready” to come home at the end of the day. I am confident that my oldest son will be more than prepared to transition into kindergarten next year. It has been as much fun to see the school grow and prosper as it has been to watch my children grow and prosper in the process.

Our experience at the Goddard School has been nothing less than exceptional. We had visited nearby Montessori schools of Southlake and Keller and are so glad we had chosen this one. I am impressed by the degree-certified teachers, the student-teacher ratio, the engaging programs, the safety/sanitation policies, and variety of teaching equipment and structures such as the Prometheus, computer lab and outdoor play areas. What pleases me the most is the genuine care and concern which runs through the entire staff from the directors to the assistant teachers. I can feel more at ease at work knowing I can check on my toddler at any time during the day through a phone call, a Tadpole photo, or an in-person visit. The directors and teachers are also very involved in the development of each child. Before starting the program, we discussed milestones, expectations and farther reaching goals. In addition to a formal progress meeting, the teachers are also open and accessible to giving daily reports and answering questions. Admitting my son into a formal school setting was new for him, but his transition went so smoothly with little to no hiccups because the programs were inviting and adaptive to his comfort level, but at the same time challenging. It is evident that Goddard has had such a positive effect on my son because he comes home everyday excited to show me something new he had learned; his language and speech have made leaps in improvement, and he is becoming so well-mannered. I highly recommend considering this school if you are looking for a center where your child(ren) will be nurtured, encouraged, and cared for.

We have been very pleased with the Goddard School since we moved from California a few years back. This was our first experience with a private preschool setting (formally used in-home day care) and I am constantly impressed with the level of personal attention they give each child and family. My oldest started here when she was 5, and the year she spent here more than prepared her for her transition to Kindergarten. She even came back the next two summers after graduation to attend the Summer Camp program, which she always loved. My youngest started here when she was 18 months and has been learning so much. She has one more year left until she heads off to Kindergarten and I expect she will be reading before she even gets there. The daily reports that the teachers email to the parents every day are a welcome addition to my inbox. They includes pictures, details of the day (including food, nap, and academics), and any additional information you need to know about the upcoming days. It makes me feel like I am part of her day and puts my mind at ease knowing she is well taken care of throughout the day. The security of the building is also something I appreciate. From the sign-in kiosks to the finger-print door access, I feel like safety is their number one priority. I will miss this establishment when my youngest graduates and I do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for quality education and care for their children.

We have had such a wonderful experience with The Goddard School! We recently relocated from Chicago down to the Southlake area, and everyone at The Goddard School has helped make this transition for my kids so easy! Going to school full time is new for both my 4 and 2 year old and all the staff have gone out of their way to ensure both are comfortable and doing well. I receive pictures of my kids throughout the day showing me what activities they are up to and at the end of the day receive a daily report of all activities, as well as what they ate that day! It brings such ease to my me knowing I can see what they are up to and know they are having a great time! I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking to enroll their child(ren)!

The teachers go above and beyond to make sure my children feel loved & cared for. The curriculum and enthusiasm from the teachers using it has made such a huge impact on my daughter who is a pre-k student. Not only has she learned how to count higher, identify her letters & begin to read, her teachers have taught her about respect, caring for others, eating healthy & overall, how to be a good person. I am so lucky to have found such a great place for my children & am completely impressed by the work my daughters teachers have done. I am 100% confident she is not only ready for kindergarten, she is ahead & I give all credit and thanks to The Goddard school & Ms.Dawney & Ms.Loretta.

We put our son in The Goddard School at the end of August when he was just 9mo old. I was very nervous to leave him with anyone but from the very beginning everyone was so awesome and made us feel very comfortable. The teachers in the infant room are great and still talk to us every day when we drop him off and pick him up even though he has moved up to the First Steps class room. In his new room he has adjusted very well and loves his teachers and other little friends. He is learning and growing so much and I attribute a lot of his development to the program at The Goddard School.

We moved our children to Goddard this year and have been nothing but impressed! The quality of instruction is exceptional and the staff is unbelievably caring and supportive. As a fellow teacher, I’m impressed with the level of learning and growth that my son has exhibited in just a few months with Goddard. The staff at Goddard is highly educated and it shows in how they instruct students. Even my daughter’s infant teachers are highly trained and educated. Everything we have seen so far at Goddard has made me truly believe we made the best decision when enrolling our children here.
