Austin (Avery Ranch) Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

We like methodologies of learning and combination of different programs: art, reading, math, writing, playing. We see great progress in our daughter's learning and development. She likes go there, has a lot of friends and likes her teacher. We would recommend The Goddard School to all our friends! :)

Olesia-Mariia's Mother

The staff is so friendly and kind! Within a month our son was already showing signs of growth and development. His speech is rapidly increasing and his social skills are growing too. I’m general he seems happier and now looks forward to attending The Gottard School each day. My wife and I could not be happier to have found such a gem.

The schools director and owner are very involved and are always available. Anytime there has been an issue or a concern we have received quick responses and prompt appropriate investigation (if needed) to get us answers to our question or concern. We whole heartedly agree and believe that the best interest and safety of our child is their top priority at all times, we can’t really ask for more than that.

We love the school atmosphere, it's not a typical daycare and really help prepare them for elementary school. Very warm, clean, and inviting, as well as a safe fun place for the kids. I love the teach to kid ratio, and in the get set classes the effort the teachers put in to help get the kids potty trained is wonderful. We love the detailed reports received everyday about what our child is doing and learning so we can continue the education at home. We love everything about The Goddard School!
