- DGDenice Garza4 days ago5.0My daughter has responded extremely well to the environment at the Goddard School. She loves her teachers and is happy to go to school everyday!
- VMVera Mendes5 days ago5.0We absolutely love this school and community! My son has been enrolled since he was 7 months old, and now at 2.5 years old, he still looks forward to coming every day. He adores his teachers, his friends, and the warm, supportive environment they’ve created. The staff truly knows each child and meets them where they are, which is all a parent can hope for. Highly recommend!
- HDHilary DrokeOct 21, 20255.0If I could give this place more than five stars I would. I enrolled my daughter here from 3 - 9 months and it was an amazing experience. Her teachers, especially Ms. Catherine and Ms. Naserine were AMAZING with my daughter. Starting daycare was a scary experience (mostly for me) and they helped me feel so comfortable knowing that my daughter was loved and cared for. By the end of our time there, my daughter was literally clapping her hands in the parking lot and wanting to stay at pickup to keep playing. The director staff is also awesome at keeping parents informed, and I really liked the app with updates. I was definitely spoiled having this as my first daycare experience, I am so sad about having to leave (we moved) and I will hold every program to this standard (which is a HIGH STANDARD).
- CFChristina FanninSep 20, 20255.0A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone at The Goddard School (Steiner Ranch in Texas for celebrating Grandparents Week in such a meaningful way. I live in Maryland and was so grateful for the opportunity to participate virtually with my granddaughter and her class. It was truly special to be included, even from afar. I’m already looking forward to joining again next year!
- MSMary Ann SinclairSep 12, 20255.0Read a story on FaceTime with 3 year old’s, although it would have been better in person my grandson was pleased that I joined in and the staff were great, the kids seemed to enjoy the story. So good that Goddard makes it easy to be involved when I am so far away.
