Goddard School

We have had a truly wonderful experience at The Goddard School (Shadow Creek Ranch). From the administrative staff to the dedicated teachers, every interaction has been marked by professionalism, warmth, and care.

I particularly appreciate the school's commitment to keeping parents informed through monthly newsletters and parent-teacher conferences. The effort they put into engaging the community is evident, and it creates a strong sense of connection among families.

One of the standout aspects of our experience has been their approach to incorporating Spanish into the curriculum. (I think my daughter knows more Spanish than I do now.) We've noticed a meaningful impact on our child's enthusiasm for learning, social engagement, and educational milestones. The environment they’ve cultivated makes us feel confident to leave our child in their care each day.

We have had our oldest kid at Goddard since an infant at 4 months and now at 3.5 and our younger kid is now at Goddard as an infant for the last few months. We have been so happy with our experience from the start. The teachers are caring and attentive. Our oldest has learned so much and grown so much in each classroom. Our oldest loves the current teachers and is always excited to see teachers from previous classrooms. If we ever have anything we need to address, such as progress on napping or feeding, etc, we feel heard and like the teachers do their best to respond to individual needs. The teachers, director, owner, etc all make us and our kids feel welcome and known. We can't imagine having our little ones go anywhere else and would not hesitate to recommend Goddard (Shadow Creek Ranch location)!

We have been part of the Goddard Family for almost five years, and I have loved everything about the school, the staff, the facility, and the overall environment.
My kids are loved, protected, and well cared for. The teachers are kind, patient, and genuinely caring.
I would recommend The Goddard School to any parent, 100 percent

Ms. Malayja and Ms. N’dia have been great caregivers to my 4yr old. The amount of patience and kindness they show him is priceless. I can work with ease knowing he is in good hands. Thank you ladies!

Our child is very happy with the numerous teachers they've experienced since starting at Goddard. Them being happy and safe is our primary concern as parents, and we have felt that consistently. The school has certainly helped in her language and social development as well. I would recommend Goddard (Shadow Creek Ranch location) to anyone looking for a positive, fun environment for their little ones.

My kids have attended this Goddard since 2019. My oldest son who started at Goddard at 3 months old graduated kindergarten at a public Alvin ISD school in the 98th percentile, and was placed in the gifted and talented program. I have no doubt that this is in part due to the amazing education he received at Goddard, particularly with his junior kinder teachers Ms. Ale and Ms. Evelyn. We also currently have the pleasure of being in Ms. Tee and Ms. Maria's pre-k class, where our son has grown confidence, and has strengthened his spelling and writing, among many other life skills. He has created such a beautiful teacher/student relationship with Ms. Maria, and is excited to learn from her and share his life with her every day. She's the kind of teacher you search for and hope to get for your child.

This school is very clean. The teachers are very patient and kind! I’ve had no issues with this school for the past two years. They are very professional and my kid is learning so much here. Would recommend this school!

Our favorite teacher at Goddard is by far Mrs. LaTrenda. She is an absolute gem! Every single day, she brings such incredible energy, positivity, and warmth to the classroom. Her upbeat and happy personality is contagious, and it's clear that she genuinely loves what she does. Our child lights up when talking about Mrs. LaTrenda and always looks forward to seeing her. She creates such a fun, loving, and supportive environment where every child feels special and seen. We are beyond thankful for the joy and care she brings into our little one's day. We wish he could stay in her class forever! If your child is ever in her class, you’ll definitely feel the same. She is truly one of a kind!

Great event as always! Happy Easter!
This is my second year with Goddard and the whole staff is awesome. Thanks to Ms. Malayja, Ms N'dia, Ms. Mel and the whole staff my very picky 4-year-old, is always happy and learning so much!!

The Goddard School provides an amazing learning foundation for my son. Everyday he wakes up excited to go to school and learn. Mrs LaTrenda, Ms Malayja, Mrs T, Mrs Maria, and Ms Mia have all contributed to my son’s experience. These individuals make my experience great. The students are always happy and excited to learn. We love it here.

Best early childhood education investment we have made for our child. I highly recommend this school especially with so many options and not being able to rate quality. This Goddard is a combination of Montessori and playful learning for your child. Thanks to all of the teachers for the love and dedication you pour into our children daily. You are most appreciated. Thank you Ms Maria and Ms Tee for the excellent child care that you provide to our toddlers!

From the day we met Mrs. Kiki we knew that she was very caring, nice and professional. My son was somewhat struggling to walk like the rest of the students. Mrs. Kiki made it a point to work with my son everyday to help promote confidence and assistance. Not even a week after classes started , we already saw an improvement! Mrs Kiki would give us daily updates when we would pick him up. Telling us what our son did that day, struggled and did great. My son got so comfortable with Mrs. Kiki that he would smile when we would say her name at home. She always showed great attention and care to my son. Her persistence and patience to her teaching style was one of a kind. All the Goddard school photos and videos will show you how strong of a teacher she is in the class room. All the students were participating , well behaved and having fun. Mrs Kiki is a special teacher and we couldn’t be...

We have been so happy with the Goddard school for both of our children. Every teacher has their own special quality and they truly bond with the children. We are fortunate to have been impacted by so many of the teachers in the last 4 years — Ms Chantell, Ms Wanda (first steps), Ms Daiana, Ms Mariana, Ms Keke, Ms Ismar, Ms Wanda, Ms Malayja, Ms LaTrenda, Ms Mia, Ms Tee and Ms Maria. Even as our children get older and move to new classrooms their past teachers always stop to say hello and check on how they’re doing. They feel like family. And Ms Mel, Ms Amber, Ms Maryel and Ms Shay have been so great at handling our daughter’s food allergies and putting us at ease. We are grateful for the goddard school SCR!

Our experience as a family at The Goddard School Shadow Creek is exceptional! overall 5 stars. Everyone there has the passion to make the difference in the community, especially in the education field. Our son has been blessed to have such a wonderful people in this stage of his life.

Our votes are for Mrs. Shakila, Miss Brenda, Mrs. Sharon and Mrs. Maria Cristina, great educators! And of course for Mrs. Mel that cooks awesome!

My Neice has been going there and she’ loves it and. Has learned so much before starting to kindergarten Ms Mel has been great addition to the staff

We love the Goddard School of Pearland Shadow Creek!

When looking for a school for my then 3 year old, I wanted a place that felt like home away from home. A place that was warm and welcoming, a place that felt familiar. One where the staff was patient and nurturing, yet structured and committed to helping each child thrive. That's exactly what we found.

It started with Mrs. Maryel on the tour. I'd been to several with my oldest so I knew the typical pitch, but she was real, open and honest, and I appreciated that. Ms. Shaklie and Ms. Amber were patient with every phone call and office pop in and answered all of my questions. Then the Director, Ms. Shayla sealed the deal. She came in and announced that she remembered me from high school, and I befriended and looked out for her. That was the sign I needed. I knew she would return the favor and look after my...

We have been incredibly grateful to have Mrs. Keke and Ms. Mariana as our toddler's teachers. Their warmth, patience, and genuine love for children shows in everything they do. From the moment we walk into the classroom, it's clear they create a nurturing and structured environment to make every child feel safe, seen, and supported. Mrs. Keke and Ms. Mariana do a great job of engaging the children with creative activites each day that develop their minds and motor skills. Whether it's story time, art projects, or outdoor play, they bring energy and enthusiasm that makes learning fun and exciting!

We’ve had a great experience with Goddard Shadow Creek for the past 3 years! The teachers and directors have been a pleasure to work with and our kids enjoy their school. This year, our oldest is in Ms. Latrenda’s class. She does an amazing job of creating engaging, hands-on experiences for little learners.

We have 2 kids in Goddard and have been so happy with the care they receive there. My oldest is currently with Ms Tee and Ms Maria who are both wonderful and really invested in teaching them. My youngest is with Ms Keke (Qiana) and Ms Mariana, who are equally as great. Ms Keke has been there for years and had my oldest when he was a toddler, which is nice as a parent to have familiar faces caring for your children. 100% would recommend Goddard!

This is our 2nd month at the school and Ms. Wanda is a great teacher to our son! Her classroom is so inviting and all the kids love her. I was worried to send my preemie baby to school but it was time! Ms. Wanda makes sure he doesn’t skip a beat!

Ms Mel is truly a Gem. Great bus driver great with the kids.

We absolutely love Ms. Wanda H! She has been such a blessing in our son’s life. From the moment he started in her class, we could tell how caring, patient, and amazing she is with the kids. Every morning, he’s excited to go to daycare, and it’s clear that Ms. Wanda H creates a warm, safe, and fun environment for her students.
She has a natural gift for connecting with toddlers and helping them grow socially and emotionally. I’m constantly impressed with how much my son is learning and how happy he is each day. As a parent, there’s nothing better than knowing your child is in such good hands. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and feel so lucky to have Ms. Wanda H as his teacher!

We enrolled Rose at Goddard School in 2022, and we have been extremely happy with all of her teachers and the staff. She loves Ms. Shakela, Ms. Brenda, and Ms. Sharon and has learned so much in their class. I've noticed a significant improvement, and she is ready to move on to Kindergarten. It will be very difficult to leave such amazing teachers and staff. Thank you for all you do!

Such a great learning environment and we have the wonderful teachers to thank for that. Ms. Shakela thank you for your time, your patience, your efforts, and the love you have for the kids. Showing up everyday to make sure they learn and grow, thank you for being the wonderful teacher and person you are we appreciate you! You rock!

I just want to thank the teachers and staff here at the Goddard School of Shadow Creek for your patience, dedication, and commitment to enrich our children with knowledge. I personally appreciate Shakela for her leadership in the classroom and the way she treats her students with grace and kindness. Her warm smile and compassion is always so welcoming. Thank you for all you do, keep being amazing!

Ms. Shaklie is one of the greatest teachers I have encountered at Goddard. She is so sweet, very loving to the children, and very artistic. Her room is always decorated beautifully. She is amazing!!!

Mrs LaTrenda is an amazing teacher who truly cares about her students. She is very attentive and has great energy. Our daughter is always excited to see her.

Ms. Shakela is an incredible educator who goes above and beyond for her students. Her warmth and nurturing spirit make every child feel valued and supported. She not only teaches with passion but also fosters a love for learning in her classroom. Her dedication and genuine care for her students shine through in everything she does. A truly inspiring teacher who makes a lasting impact on young minds! The Goddard School is the place to be !
