- SKShibani KudchadkarNov 10, 20255.0Great school, and wonderful environment- my boys love it. Teachers are very supportive and work with them individually and we can see the progress. I recommend Goddard School at Upper Kirby, highly.
- KSKlayton SimonetteNov 7, 20255.0The Goddard School is top tier. When I first dropped my 4 month old for the first time, they made me feel so confident and comfortable about it. I didn’t even shed a tear! We love the staff and the facility is so clean.
- MTMaen ThabetNov 6, 20255.0This school is the best school in Htown!!! It’s nice and clean, the staff are always amazing with a great lovely environment!! We had the best experience with Ms. Elizabeth and Ms. Brianca this year! They are truly kind and outstanding, making the kids very comfortable, friendly, loving and always busy with all the daily fun activities! Last year was not as good as this year! Both management and teachers are wonderful and always seem to care!! I’ve seen a noticeable improvement and enhancement in the overall school quality level from last year!
- NINoor IzwayyedNov 6, 20255.0I wrote a review last year but I think things have changed a WHOLE LOT. For the entire last year my son was still having a hard time adjusting to his class and teachers but this year is a completely different story. Ms. Elizabeth is the reason our son literally asks us if he can go to school on WEEKENDS this year. I don’t think I’ve seen someone as dedicated and invested in our children as she is. There isn’t a single day where activities aren’t prepared, she is attentive to every single child, teaches manners, very organized and most importantly KIND. I think she’s one of the most dedicated teachers I have come across. Ms. Brianka also contributes greatly to the classroom ; always welcoming, kind to students and our son adores her. If you’re thinking of enrolling your child in pre-k ; make sure Ms. Elizabeth is the one teaching.
- TAThouraya AKNov 5, 20255.0I am so happy to choose the Goddard preschool for my only son as a first school he enrolled in❤️its like a second home for him. The team are so professional, helpful and enthusiastic! The classrooms are very clean and well established. Their working hours are so convenient as well. Highly recommended
