Goddard School -- McKinney (University Drive)

We absolutely LOVE the Goddard School at 380 & Ridge! We’ve had a great experience! From the very first tour before our little girl was born we were impressed with how personable and intentional the staff is, how clean and organized everything is, and how well loved the kiddos are by the teachers! You can tell that the kids are really happy and having fun and the teachers go the extra mile to give every child the attention and care they need. We know the teachers and staff by name and they know us, too!

The Goddard team has taught our daughter (and our family) SO much in such a short time! We can tell she is safe and comfortable, she is learning new things every day, she is surpassing milestones, and she’s learning critical social and emotional skills too! We’ve been impressed with the extra efforts they make to create community between parents and teachers/staff and...

The best school, best teachers, best owner. Being a working mom is hard, but this school has become a second family for us. From the teachers, to the front desk A team, let alone the community and Robbin. It’s the best of the best.

We absolutely LOVE Goddard! We’ve been at the University and Ridge Rd location since June 2025. We have had the best experience- from the staff, teachers, children, to the amazing parents who we now consider to be close friends. From the minute you walk in the door, you see and feel the difference for why Goddard stands above the rest. They care - in every way. The teachers love your children as their own. They pay attention to small details and communicate well with parents. The learning structure is top notch. Not only are they learning the basics, but my 4 year pre-k daughter has also learned how to play chess!! She can also do basic addition. When asked how she knew how to add numbers, she said “we do numbers at my school” 😊 I mean the list is endless… do yourself and your child a favor, and come tour Goddard. The extra cost compared to other centers is worth it. You get what you...

Our daughter has been going here for a year now, she started just before turning one. She LOVES going to school and LOVES her teachers, especially Ms. Becky. She always asks to go see Ms. Becky in the mornings and gets a cute hairstyle every day from her. Our daughter is always happy and smiling at school. We are very happy with our choice to put our daughter here. It’s an amazing school with teachers that care.

Finding a daycare you can truly trust, one that will love, nurture, and care for your child when you can’t be there, felt overwhelming, almost impossible. Like so many parents, we wanted more than just a safe place; we wanted a community that would help our children grow, learn, and feel genuinely loved.
From the moment we found Goddard on Ridge, everything changed.
We have been absolutely blown away by the experience. The communication is exceptional. They are consistent, thoughtful, and reassuring in all the ways parents need. The staff is not only professional but deeply caring, and the low senior staff turnover speaks volumes about the positive environment they’ve created and the leadership at this location. It’s clear that the teachers truly love what they do, and that love pours into every interaction with the children. The owner, having earned her PhD in Child...

Truly the best childcare facility. Both of my children LOVE going here. My toddler wakes up in the mornings begging to go. The teachers have become like family and are very dear to us.

Caring staff, secure place, nurturing environment and accommodating to schedule changes especially if we need to drop off our kiddo last minute. It's also very conveniently located. Thank you Robbin and team! You guys are awesome!

Robbin and her team at Goddard have been AMAZING the entire time our daughter has been there. She had thrived with their excellent learning plans and always surprises us with what she’s experiencing on a daily basis, like playing chess, learning Spanish, they even have their own garden they tend too. Communication is excellent and the atmosphere can’t be beat. Second child is already enrolled for the fall! Thank you Goddard!

The best of the best. Top tier! I have one child who graduated from there and started as an infant, who is now thriving daily and almost done with first grade. And I have another currently enrolled who is also thriving. Best school ever. Ownership is truly superior above all else. Teachers are all phenomenal. Longevity all across the school means so much!
