At The Goddard School located in Friendswood, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
Our experience with Goddard has been very pleasant so far. Our child loves her school, her teachers and her friends. That’s the kind of environment we always wanted for our child so that she can happily grow with others ♥️

This place is the BEST Preschool I've ever been to. We have 5 kids and we left a previous preschool because the teachers were awful, so we were kind of worried about leaving our children at another childcare facility. But the owner and the front desk ladies have made it so much easier. My kids don't cry at drop off anymore and they LOVE their teachers. I'm so glad I found this place. It's small enough that I feel comfortable about my child getting what they need, one on one, if needed. They always have 2 teachers in the classrooms so when one teacher is teaching the other one is make sure that the other children are taken care of. My 4 year old has even started READING! I've told all my friends about Goddard and I can't wait to see what my kids will learn a year from now! I can't recommend Goddard of Friendswood enough. If you're looking for child care / preschool, look no further!
