Goddard Schools Celina

We have been part of this school for 6 years, and I can honestly say it has been an amazing experience for our family.
My kids started here when they were just 18 months old, and throughout the years we have had many wonderful teachers. But I have to give a very special recognition to Ms. Burris and Ms. Pilar.
Ms. Burris is truly an exceptional teacher. She is incredibly caring and loving, but at the same time provides structure, consistency, and clear expectations for the kids, which is not easy to balance, and she does it beautifully. The children learn so much from her, and absolutely love her. I have seen such a difference in bmy kids especially in their confidence, happiness, and everything they’ve learned in her classroom. She is, without a doubt, the best teacher we have experienced.
Ms. Pilar is also amazing. She is so attentive and nurturing, always making...

Great school, great facilities!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Goddard Celina.
Our oldest daughter, who is now 5 and in kindergarten, spent a handful of months here and still speaks so fondly of her teachers. One of the greatest gifts Goddard gave her was the academic and social foundation to hit the ground running; she was incredibly well-prepared for the transition to kindergarten. We also love that they offer elementary camps, which gives her the perfect opportunity to return to a place she loves during school breaks. It’s a testament to the environment they’ve built that she is always so excited to go back!
Our younger daughter has been attending for a year now, and the growth we’ve seen in her from age 3 to 4 is incredible. A huge part of that is thanks to her phenomenal teachers. Mrs. Burris and Ms. Pillar are absolute gems—they are patient, nurturing, and clearly...

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience at The Goddard School of Celina! My daughter genuinely loves going to school every single day, which says so much about the warm and welcoming environment the teachers and staff have created here.

Since enrolling, I have seen remarkable improvements in her overall development. Her focusing skills have grown tremendously — she is now able to sit, listen, and engage in a way that we didn't see before. She is also understanding concepts and lessons much more quickly, which gives me great confidence in the quality of the educational program here.

A huge thank you to her teachers Noysha and Dayu, who have been incredibly nurturing, patient, and dedicated. It is clear they genuinely care about each child's growth and well-being. Jamie, the admin manager, has also been fantastic — always responsive, communicative, and...

Fantastic experience all around. Engaged owners, clean facility, great teachers and staff….just fantastic!!! We’ve been to a couple others between all 3 kids, including other Goddards, and this is by far the best experience.

Goddard came highly recommended to us by family and extended connections across the U.S., and our experience at Goddard Celina has exceeded every expectation. This has been, without question, the most positive experience our family has ever had at a daycare.

The school is run incredibly efficiently and thoughtfully. From the moment you walk in, someone is always there to greet and welcome you. The administrative team and staff are consistently professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. The curriculum and programming are truly top-notch, and it’s clear how intentional the school is about creating enriching experiences both in the classroom and within the broader community.

The owners Smitha and Justin bring a rare level of insight and care — having come from corporate and healthcare backgrounds and having personally matriculated several of their own...

Very pleased with the progress my girls have made and thankful for the teachers making a difference in their growing minds.

Love Goddard of Celina! The owners and staff and wonderful. Very involved and great with the kids. I feel so comfortable with my kids in their care.

Owners and teachers are amazing! Great communication and my kids love going here! We have been going to Goddard for 3 years now and love everything about it!

We have been with Goddard Celina since the beginning. Absolutely love the nurturing directors and teachers. Both of our children have learned so much being here and feel they are very well cared for while having a great time learning! Could not have picked a better school.

Great administration. Everyone is professional and welcoming. The owners are hands on and accommodating.

We are extremely happy with Goddard and couldn’t be more impressed with the caring teachers and outstanding facilities. The staff is professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth and happiness. We highly recommend Goddard to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and high-quality school for their child!

We absolutely love, Goddard Celina! My son has been going there for a year and a half now and the teachers have been incredible and helping him learn and grow. It definitely feels like you have a village at Goddard Celina! Highly recommend!

Great owners and staff. Very friendly and professional. My kid loves this school very much. Very happy to be part of Goddard family.

Our girl loves her teachers and her friends. The staff is always helpful and friendly with a welcoming attitude which is a far cry from our experience at the other daycares we’ve patronized.

We absolutely love the Goddard school of Celina. The teachers and staff are approachable, warm and friendly and genuinely care about the kids. My favorite thing is the holidays around the world concert during the holiday season. I look forward to it every year.

As a parent, it is so hard to have trust in certain childcare facilities, but this place is literally hands-down one of the best places. I’m so thankful that I have found such an amazing place! My kids absolute love it here and it makes me feel so at peace knowing my kids are in a safe environment and feel loved by the staff. Thank you for everything!

We love Goddard School of Celina. Great school - clean, beautiful and amazing teachers!

Great care and staff

We have been at the Goddard for a while now and have had nothing but a positive experience over the years! The owners, Smitha and Justin, are extremely passionate about their school, students, staff and families. We love it here!

My child has blossomed since starting here, becoming more verbal and social. I am very impressed by their curriculum, which includes music, and age-appropriate learning activities that keep them engaged and happy. The staff is professional, well-trained. My kid loves going here.

As a resident of Celina, I would totally recommend Goddard-Celina for preschool and Kinder care/education. We've had two little ones go through this location and the mental and educational growth was amazing. My kids were always presentable when picked up as I left them. Meaning their faces were clean and free of boogers and snot. lol. I can't say the same about previous schools we've attended. I would like to send a special thank you to Smitha and Justin for keeping our children safe and healthy.

We love Goddard Celina! The teachers are wonderful, the learning is impressive, and the environment truly feels like family. We can’t say enough great things about this daycare!
