The Goddard School

I would like to thank Raul and Isa for taking such good care of our 2 children the past 3 years! The Goddard School has been part of our extended family every day and could not be more impressed with the staff, facilities, and overall care our kids received from this school. They both started around 15 months old and would not be as independent and smart as they are now without the amazing teachers and staff here. Both our kids loved everything about it and we as parents felt so happy and confident in the choice we made for them. Now my son is starting Kindergarten and is so well prepared to move on to the next phase of his schooling. We will miss everyone at the school and if you are looking for a top-​notch school for your children in South Austin, I highly recommend this one.

We love this place. Beautiful facility, great teachers, and a great curriculum. Our 3 month old clearly enjoys his time here and the teachers are very attentive to his needs as well as those of the other babies in his class. The owners are always onsite, and the office staff is quite friendly — and the teachers can focus on taking care if the kiddos! Well worth the fee!

Being first time parents, my husband and I were nervous to leave our baby in the care of someone else. Goddard was the first daycare we toured, and honestly, we cancelled our other tours and reserved her spot. She started at 12 weeks and is now going on 8 months.
We can’t say enough about Goddard. Our baby smiles all the time at her teachers when we drop her off and pick her up. They help with training (holding bottle, spoon, sitting in highchair), send us home with artwork, and give a daily report and picture of the day. The two teachers in her classroom (Hummingbirds) and the helpers that assist seem to genuinely care about all the babies in the room. We now joke that they do a better job at taking care of her than we do. We’d highly recommend Goddard!

This is an excellent school. When I walked in to tour the school, I immediately felt the personal involvement of the owners. They met with me and wanted to work with me as a single mother. I knew, immediately, that this was the right environment for my daughter. I couldn’t be happier. My daughter comes home talking about yoga poses and songs that they learned. She is already reading at age 5. She has a happy outlook and loves going to school each day. Every member of the staff and faculty smile at me and make me feel at home. I get emails with photos and updates daily. I have a joyful, inquisitive, and well-​balanced child thanks to their efforts. I highly recommend this school.

Our infant son has been attending Goddard school since mid-​February and we absolutely love it.
The teachers in the infant room always seem genuinely love their jobs and I can tell how much they care about our son as well as the other infant babies. They keep the babies active all day (when they are not napping) and have many learning and developmental activities that include things like sign language, finger painting, self-​help skills, and sensory stimulation. The directors also seem to be very engaged with the infant classroom and knowledgeable about daily activities.
Every morning when I drop our son off, there is always a warm welcome as well as when I pick up my son, the teachers are always eager to share ‘new’ things our son has done during the day from something as small as ‘a smile to a new stranger’ or ‘how happy he seemed to be outside’. All the little details count.
I am so glad our son goes to Goddard School, I would not have it any other way!

Both of our kids have attended the Goddard school. ALL the teachers know their names, even the ones who don’t have regular contact with them. The director knows what is going on with our kids on a daily basis. Our kids love getting dropped off. It is a clean and safe environment. The communication is fantastic. I feel safe and they listen when I ask questions or want to talk about my childrens’ development. GREAT choice!

I love this school. My 3 year old previously went to Stepping Stone and i never really felt like she got much out of that school. Now she is at Goddard and LOVES IT! They send home daily activity reports, which is nice so I can aske her specifically about what she did that day. I know she is learning there because the other day she broke out randomly into spanish counting. They have a weekly theme and all of the activities are related to it. Cant say enough good things. AND they are slightly more expensive than SS, but WAY less than Primrose. I think this is a GREAT quality school with a reasonable rate.
