What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
Summer camp activities, different age groups, nice staff.
My kids really enjoy the afterschool program.
I love the Mini Camps offered in the Summer Camp program.
I love your summer camp activities. I love how inclusive your program is. My kids came home super excited after your field trips. Many camps don't provide the same quality of care and awesome fieldtrips. I love your wonderful staff! I also really appreciate your flexible enrollment options. The Cedar Park location has been the most fair child care in terms of overall policy we've experienced.
Consistent and caring leadership, meaningful investment in their teachers including training days, great communication, clean, they actually do follow intentional curricula in each class (some daycares advertise this but don’t keep up with it), great meal service option, safe, potty training method, handwriting skills, enrichment classes, nice playgrounds, the list goes on and on. Our son is thriving at this school and has been for 3 years now! We are grateful everyday for this amazing school.
Both of my children have gone to The Goddard School of Cedar Park since they were newborns (now 8 and 5). They were/are both so very prepared for Kindergarten. Goddard established incredible learning practices for my children in a fun way while getting socialization skills, making new friends, and feeling loved and nurtured by the amazing teachers and administrators.
It continues throughout the summer. There is a good amount of time incorporating countries into the curriculum.
Goddard sees every student as an individual, which makes each child’s experience special and rewarding not only for their education, but lifestyle as well. With the numerous special curricular activities, STEM connections, and engaging lesson plans, it’s always rewarding to see what my son takes from his day at Goddard. The experience here is so delightful, that it’s truly a joy to hear my son say he’s ready for school the next day!
