The Goddard School

We love Goddard! The teachers in the infant room are the absolute best — warm, kind, and loving. They are always doing creative art projects and fun activities! Very grateful to have found this wonderful school.

There’s so much I could say about how wonderful this school is. As a first time mom, I spent a great deal of time researching and visiting daycares and Goddard on Frate Braker blew us away hands down. We could not ask for a better environment. From the front office to the teachers, everyone is so compassionate and loving, it truly feels like a family. My partner and I were so surprised by how many amazing art projects our infant gets to do. The teachers truly value their work and it shines through to the babies.
We love Miss Debbie and Miss Feney!!!!!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Goddard in our first couple of months here. From day one, the management team knew our baby’s name and always gave us such a warm welcome.

Ms. Debbie and Ms. Feney in the infants Hummingbirds class are absolutely amazing. They are kind, patient, experienced and clearly care so much about the babies. We love the daily feedback, activities and photos through the Goddard app, and communication has been excellent.

We’re so happy Jack is in their class and are already dreading the day he has to move up! Ms. Debbie and Ms. Feney have set the standard very high.

Emily gave The Goddard School an AWESOME Recommendation

We love the Goddard school. Both our kids (4 1/2 and 2 1/2) go here and they both love it. They are always doing fun activities and I like that they keep us informed of what is going on with newsletters and daily updates through an app. The teachers and all the staff are very friendly and professional, know all the kids by name and are always happy to answer any questions I might have. Highly recommend this school.

Elizabeth enjoyed the experience with The Goddard School

My son is enrolled in the gecko pre-k class at the Goddard about five months now and it had been an amazing experience. Prior to that, he was with a private nanny. It was a tough transition as he had extreme separation anxiety which was heartbreaking to watch, but after a week, we saw him thriving and smiling again. The change was alot quicker than we expected.

The front staff has been welcoming and helpful with all my questions, which reassured my decision. They update us regularly on things that are happening.

The teachers have gone above and beyond, you can tell they enjoy what they do and remain calm during conflicts which helped the transition for my son. I love the fun activities, arts and crafts and themes of outfits to wear for holidays/ seasons they do to help get them ready for kindergarten, and there is some form of structure. They update once a...

Hannah LOVED The Goddard School

The Goddard School on Frate Barker in South Austin has been wonderful for our daughter. The building is clean and well maintained. The staff have great tenure and attitudes. The management is transparent and communicates promptly when things come up. You must bring your own lunch, but they do serve snacks throughout the day. (edited for grammatical errors)

Our daughters thrived here and we loved all of the staff!

We love the Goddard school and so does our son! Couldn’t be more grateful for finding them for daycare!

Alex is very excited to recommend The Goddard School

We love Goddard! They are great with communication and they truly care! Shout out to Ms. Nasha and Ms. Jackie, even if my son has moved to a big school, he still mentions them a lot.

We LOVE the Goddard School and are so thankful for the amazing teachers and community.

Our family was so happy here that it was truly hard to leave when we moved. Our child thrived with the caring and sweet team at Goddard and we loved the photos, constant communication, and fun activities. Highly recommend!

My son’s experience in the toucan class has been amazing. The teachers are attentive and caring. The entire school is so nice and supportive to each class.

Michael is very excited to recommend The Goddard School

We are so happy to have chosen The Goddard School on Frate Barker for our child. I can’t say enough positive things about the staff and their approach to structured yet self lead development. We will miss the heck out of everyone as my child leaves for Kindergarten

I couldn’t have asked for a better preschool experience for my child! From day one, the warmth and professionalism of the teachers and staff stood out. They created such a nurturing and supportive environment where my child truly thrived — both academically and socially.

The curriculum was great! It blended play and learning in a way that kept my child excited to go to school every day. I watched my child grow in confidence, curiosity, and kindness thanks to the dedication and care of the amazing team.

The communication from the school was always clear and consistent, and it was obvious how much love and intention went into every aspect of their program. The teachers were not only knowledgeable and experienced, but genuinely passionate about early childhood education.

We’re so grateful for the strong foundation this preschool provided — it has...

Goddard has been a wonderful experience for our family. The staff is caring and supportive. The teachers are patient, positive and committed to your child’s development. I have appreciated all the pictures and communication throughout our years with the school. My child is well prepared for kindergarten. Thank you Goddard!!

The Goddard School got a great recommendation by Ed

My son Anthony has been attending The Goddard School since he was 8weeks old and now is 3.5 and we have had a wonderful experience. The teacher are welcoming and very supportive. The environment is warm and so very colorful. My son is always excited about going to school in the morning and sometimes we have trouble getting him to leave. My husband is always empress about how much he has learned and the information he comes home with. All we see is growth in our son every day. We are so proud and grateful our son is able to attend The Goddard School in South Austin.

Our experience at Goddard has been amazing. The teachers and staff are raising our kids and loving them day in and day out. Communication is top-notch. Pick up and drop off is secure and easy. They even handled a global pandemic with very few shutdowns. Parent Night Out is a nice bonus! What else could we ask for? We never worry about our kids at Goddard and we have total confidence in their systems, policies and people.

Our family’s time at Goddard has been great. Both my boys were there for about 8 years. The school is safe and clean. The curriculum and activities are top notch. The teachers and admin are consistent, knowledgeable and professional. They truly have been an integral and irreplaceable part of our village in raising young children. My boys have been happy and healthy in their care and learned so much!

Clean efficient and wonderful teachers

The saddest part of moving out of the South Austin area is having to leave Goddard. Our daughter has attended Goddard since she was 7 months old and truly thrived during the 20 months that she was there. Highly recommend Goddard as a place where you’ll confidently leave your child knowing she will be in a thriving environment surrounded by caring teachers.
