McKinney (Craig 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.

  • From the first time we stepped foot inside Goddard, we have felt like it was our sons home away from home. We are at peace knowing Ryder is at the best place for learning. We are so thankful to have Goddard and the staff to love on our son and teach him.

    Ryder's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • We love how happy our little one seems there. Getting daily pictures and updates makes us feel connected to her even when we're not with her, and we know that she is being well cared for.

    Toddler Classroom

  • The constant communication between Goddard staff (on up to the director) gives us peace of mind that our four month old is in the best hands. I also love that Goddard feels like a community. The administrative staff knows our daughters name, even though they don't teach her directly. We don't feel like "just a number" here

    Junior-K Classroom

  • The teachers at Goddard and the staff go above and beyond to connect with students and understand their personality and needs for learning. Each student is treated with kindness and care and teachers work with family / caregivers to help each student succeed in their development in classroom and real life. The social emotional lessons for children are what I find to be the most unique and I enjoy that my child has learned how to communicate their emotional needs and feelings to me.
