We enrolled our two year old son at Goddard in October 2015 and we couldn’t be any happier with the school. When we first came in the director, Ms Carolyn, took us around and explained their program and toured the school. We were impressed with the curriculum and activities they had for all the classrooms. Not only do they offer the core subjects, but they incorporate ASL, Yoga, Mandarin, Arts, and STEM. They have a great meal plan with a vegetarian option. The safety and security of the school was also impressive. There is a palm scanner and pin code to enter the school, special doors that will never pinch a childs’ fingers, gated and fenced play area only accessible from the classrooms, and most importantly was the location. The school is not on a busy main road and it blends in completely with the surrounding neighborhood. It’s nice that there are no ‘real life’ distractions for the kids when they are playing outside . Yes it is a little of an inconvenience to get off the main road during drop off and pick up during rush hour, but it is well worth it for the peace of mind that there isn’t a maniac driving by at high speeds right in front of the school. At first, like normal children, our son didn’t take well to going to school. But with the help and caring of the teachers and staff within a week he loved it. The staff was great with getting him adjusted to school, and made sure we were aware of his well being. Throughout the day Ms Carolyn would call us and send pictures to tell us how he was. As a new experience for us they did a great job in keeping us informed. The Daily reports and pictures we get are great at keeping us informed every day. It let us know not only of the things the learned but also gives us a information on naps, potty training, meals, and the social and emotional aspects of our child’s day. After being with the school for a few months now we can see a real difference in our son. Before we enrolled he had a verbal developmental delay. By the end of the first month it was gone and he has been a chatter box since. Additionally his thirst for knowledge has grown along with his problem solving and critical thinking skills, his attention span has increased, his social skills have improved, and a positive impact on his attitude and demeanor. The Owner, Ms Asha, has been nothing but wonderful. She along with the directors, Ms Carolyn and Ms Geraldine make the school great. The teachers and staff genuinely care for the kids and take the time to address any needs or concerns we have had. As a parent to know our child is in good loving hands everyday is the greatest feeling in the world.

Goddard is amazing... My children are treated so well there. Every staff member knows my children, greets them, is kind to them, holds and hugs on them. My son has some special medical needs and I am comfortable with him there. Class sizes are small. Food is included now in the cost. The new owner Mr. Sami is amazing - he is there every day, kids all high-five him, he has re painted and is giving away Ipads when you are referred by a current member and they have a drawing every few months (so if you go and sign up please say I referred you). I have toured 6 places in the last 3 years (my daughter has been at two), this is by far worth the extra 180$ a month for her to go here instead of the other place that had 24-30 kids in a pre-k class - here they have 7-11. The play ground is safe, they do science projects, you get pictures sent throughout the day of what your child is doing (and movies), they do interactive assignments on the smart board and my 18 month old is starting to speak in 2-4 word sentences and has a vocabulary that my daughter had at almost age 2. There is not one thing I would change about this place and will continue to keep my children there as long as I can.

Our family was very lucky to have The Goddard School open very close to our home. The owner, director and teachers are top notch and take their positions very seriously. They have an extremely loving and caring atmosphere, the teachers are always on top of their daily cirriculum, and the staff communicates with each other and parents on a daily basis. We have been part of the Goddard family since they first opened, when my daughter turned 4 years old. She is 100% ready to start kindergarten and is fully prepared due to the excellent teachers and staff at The Goddard School. The facility is always clean, organized and decorated throughout the seasons. I love their flat screen TV in the lobby where they display photographs of the kids during their daily learning and fun activities, it makes us feel like we are part of their day when we have to be away at work. We love The Goddard School and are so blessed to be able to recieve such a wonderful education for our daughter. I always recommend everyone I know to The Goddard School and we look forward to after school care once she starts Kindergarten! THANKS GODDARD SCHOOL!!

Mrs. B.J. Chatman: The Goddard School and staff were more to my family than an educational institution. My grandson was enrolled by his mother as a single parent. My daughter passed away suddenly on December 15, 2014 leaving her son. The staff and parents provided support for our family that I can never say enough about. They provided Christmas for my grandson including so many toys we could hardly get them under the tree. My family was able to bare our loss with the love and support of Goddard School staff. I don’t know how to put into words the love that was shown to our family? The quality of education is of the highest standard. The environment and expectations of their staff also are measured from a point of excellence. This is a great place to entrust the most precious beings in our lives, our children and grandchildren.

When we moved to Texas from New York we were looking for a great location to raise our family with childcare close by - - The Goddard School is very convenient and is honestly the cleanest daycare I have ever seen (Ive toured quite a few)! We have utilized the toddler room, preschool room, pre-k room, before and after school care, and now the infant room. I have no complaints and feel very comfortable when I leave my children there for the day. It is truly priceless to have your children in a nurturing, secure and educational environment every day while you are at work. One other bonus - there is a gym in the facility for those hot days or rainy days in Texas - the children still get activity if they cant go outside! Its wonderful and I highly recommend.

My son has been at Goddard less then a year and we have enjoyed this school. The staff is always very friendly and caring. I like that the am snack is fruit & the classrooms have always had a low ratio. I looked at the other daycare in the neighborhood and they had 16 toddlers in 1 classroom whereas at Goddard they have 6 in my sons class. Goddard is more expensive then the other school, but its worth it for the ratio. My son also LOVES the indoor gym. It would be nice if nap time was at 12 and not 1 and if they had mini fridges in each room, but other then that it is a good fit for our family. The turn over has been high, but it is normal in this industry.
