Goddard School of River Park

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this daycare. From day one, the teachers have made our children feel like family. Their dedication, warmth, and genuine love for the kids shine through in everything they do. It’s amazing to see how much they’ve helped our children grow — not just academically, but emotionally and socially — from the early stages all the way through Pre-K.

We went through some challenging and stressful periods, and our children had to adapt to big changes. The staff supported us every step of the way. They helped us watch for signs of stress, checked in consistently, and made sure our kids made it through those moments feeling safe and supported. We trust this facility, its teachers, and most importantly its Director, Mrs. Rana, unconditionally with our children.

If you’re looking for a safe, caring, family-like environment where...

Our three-year-old son got sick for a couple of days and we kept him home, every morning he would wake up early, pick his clothes, fill his lunch box and call on us to take him to school!

He has been learning a lot at miss Suha’s class, he loves his friends, and has had many great teachers in the last couple of years, to name a few: Ms Aryana, Ms Levya, ms Nada.

His grandparents look forward to his daily activities email notifications, and ask him what he has learned.

We are happy with the school administration, and the various fun activities they offer.

Thank you for a great job

I’ve had my 3 year old go to 3 different daycares and this one has been THE BEST!! The staff have been amazing and I can tell they really do go above and beyond for their kids. They are truly amazing and I’m VERY grateful for a positive daycare/school experience.

THANK YOU 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Our son has been continuously thriving with each teacher. As a mom, that is reassuring to know each teacher there is a wonderful teacher. From the morning greetings, afternoon goodbyes, and the check ins in the middle I know my son is a caring, educational environment!

We are so happy with The Goddard School especially under the circumstances we were in having to abruptly putting our son into daycare. The staff was very accommodating and incredibly caring and loving to our son! Everyone gives positive vibes everyday which creates a warm and nurturing environment where our toddler thrives! We love getting daily updates with pictures with what activities they are participating in! Also, we love the daily reports of our child's progress, especially with the amount food being consumed as our son was such a picky eater but not anymore!
Our son’s teacher Mrs. Wafa is a child whisper and she’s absolutely wonderful! Mrs. Wafa has made such a huge impact on our son through this transition and we cannot appreciate her enough! Our son can be difficult at times and her calm/collected personality definitely helped our son cope with the new environment...

After about a week of enrollment, I went to pick up my child and they gave me someone else's...

We love that both of our kids are attending Goddard and they are both thriving! Our daughter just started infant class with Ms. V and hands down she’s the best! Ms. V is very intentional when doing stimulated activities with our daughter. It’s obvious that Ms. V is very passionate with what she does. She loves, cares, and is attentive with all babies in her classroom. We are so lucky and very happy that our daughter has Ms. V as her teacher because we know she’s getting the best care and will excel in learning new skills!

My toddler and newborn are going to this daycare. So far, we all love it very much, especially the newborn/infant class. We sent her there since she’s 2 months old, and to be honest, it was with the benefit of the doubt—whether it’s really worth the penny to send them to a daycare like this. We expected the care quality should match the tuition. Mrs. V in the newborn baby’s class is really professional, caring and devoted to each baby there. There are 6-8 babies there? Not sure... maybe 3 “month-old” babies, and some 1yros. Sometimes I feel sorry to see her circling around and being swamped with changing diapers, soothing the crying babies, all at the same time. My baby is more disciplined and calm now after going to this daycare. She’s super happy and laughs a lot in and out of the school. I can’t appreciate more to the teachers there. Toddler’s class has some teachers left,...

We absolutely loved our time at The Goddard School of River Park. We only had positive experiences with each and every member of the staff there. Especially in the infant class with Ms. V. She creates such a welcoming, calm, and loving environment for the babies. She really gets to learn each childs personality and encourages their interests with interactive play, sensory experiences, and just spending quality time with each child. One of my favorite things every week was seeing which new craft or picture would be hanging on the door or walls in the room. You can tell each and every child is loved and cared for like they are family.

We feel very fortunate for the time we had at this Goddard school and I know it's going to be hard to find somewhere that even compares. We will miss you guys!

Listennnnn - Goddard at River Park is AMAZING. The director - Ms. Rana - is absolutely amazing. She is kind, she is so eas to talk to, and you really feel like she is invested in you and your kids as a family. She is never too busy to talk - she regularly (i'm talking daily) visits and checks ont he kids and every class. Ms. V is the infant teacher and she is nothing short of wonderful. The activities, the cleanliness, the professionalism, and the atmosphere are impeccable. And there is diverse staff and student body - it just feels like a real school.

Home away from Home! Literally! Thank you for everything you did for my 3 children ❤️

A child's home away from home.🩵

✅ Environment ✅ Health ✅ Safety
Spectacular location! Large freestanding building with secure playground (shaded and squishy ground - not concrete), in safe area (not next apartments or gas stations) with medical facilities nearby (shout out to their neighbor Texas Children's Pediatrics).

The classrooms are filled with educational enrichment. Teachers are kind, caring and professional. Management is actively involved in daily operations and form relationships with students.

2022 - The infant classroom teacher Miss V is exceptional in her care of the baby students. My child looks forward to going to school because of her, and each morning drop off is full of smiles.

Dear Miss V,

We want to express our heartfelt thanks for the incredible care and love you’ve shown our baby boy since...

The best school ever

Our experience with Ms. V has been amazing. She takes such good care of our son and genuinely cares about him. We feel lucky to have her in our lives.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Ms. V—she is the reason our son is here! From the moment we started a little over three months ago, it was clear that her classroom is something truly special. The level of stimulation, creativity, and thoughtful activities she provides is like no other. I’ve had experience with other schools through my older children, and I can confidently say that nothing compares to the care and intentionality Ms. V brings to her classroom.

My son absolutely thrives under her guidance. I see him learning, growing, and exploring every single day. It brings me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands at such a young age. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so grateful to have Ms. V in our lives!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Goddard School River Park, specifically the infant class. My daughter (who is now 4) started with the infant teacher, Ms. V, when she was three months old. We had such an exceptional experience, that when our second daughter was born, we knew we wanted her to spend time with Ms. V as well. Our second daughter did not start until she was a little older (10 months), but we could see a positive change in her social skills and speaking abilities as well as her desire to read and interact with others almost immediately. When we asked if she could join last minute, they worked to accommodate us. Goddard School, Ms. Rana and Ms. V have been such an amazing blessing in our lives and we couldn’t be more grateful. We trust them completely and their safety standards are well above other places we’ve seen. They go the extra mile to ensure kids are safe...

Our son has attended Goddard since we moved to Sugar Land, and as he gets ready for kindergarten, we’re so thankful for the supportive environment they’ve provided. The teachers truly care and he has grown socially and academically. He loves his teachers and has made many best friends. We will be sad to move on when he starts kindergarten, but recommend Goddard to anyone looking for a great place for their little ones!

Fantastic school - Ms. A, Ms. Olga, and Ms. Basma are all loved by both of my daughters. They’ve been attending Goddard for the last year and we’ve been very impressed. The owner is also very responsive and professional, and they accept the military child care aware subsidy.

We are so happy with The Goddard School ! The staff are incredibly caring and loving. They give you positive vibes in the morning creating a warm and nurturing environment where our toddler thrives. We love getting daily updates with pictures of our child's learning experiences. All the teachers are kind and enjoy what they are doing. The Director Ms. Rana always wears a big smile and greets the kids with love and warmth. Ms. Nada is amazing and my child feels so loved and special in her class. He can’t wait to go to school every morning to spend time with her. We love how diverse the school is, my toddler’s class is so colorful with friends from many different cultures and backgrounds. We feel completely confident leaving our child in their care and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a top-notch pre-school.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. SAFE AND SECURE FOR PEACE OF MIND ❤️
2025 Update:
My son continues to go to Goddard without any issue and even receives speech therapy with the luxury of our therapist coming to him. There can be nothing better that that. We saw him.go from saying nothing except Mama to full sentences and being independent AH! I am always going to be grateful for Mrs. Rana and my son's teachers Mrs. Ariana, Mrs. Neda, and Mrs. Soha ❤️

2024 Update (2023, and 2022 Update below):
I enrolled my 3rd child with my older two now going to regular school. My 3rd one was a very shy quiet child and has Tremendously improved going to Goddard when it comes to social skills and learnings. Usually school at an early age is frowned upon culturally but sending him to this school is doing the child a favor and giving him that Kickstart he would benefit from. He is...

Three of my kids are attending here and its a great place. Its very clean and the staff is very kind. Communication is good and we always know evverything about our kids for the day. It took a while for them to adjust but once they did, they enjoy it here.

A wonderful place

The Goddard School of River Park has been wonderful. It is clear the teachers and staff really care for our daughter and she feels safe and loved there.

I love this school. My daughter has progressed so much and all the staff members are awesome. And my daughter loves it here as well.

The Goddard School has been amazing for our family! Our older child, now in kindergarten, started ahead in reading levels thanks to the strong foundation she built here. She’s grown so much, both academically and socially, and still loves visiting her former teachers when we pick up our younger one. Our 4-year-old is thriving, gaining confidence and social skills daily. Every teacher has been incredibly caring, and as a parent who is particular about my kids’ environment, I’ve always felt at ease. Ms. Rana and the admin staff truly make Goddard feel like family, taking a genuine interest in each child. We’re so grateful for this nurturing and supportive school!

Excellent care and great teachers and curriculum

Goddard has always been amazing. Both my kids have gone there for years (youngest is still there full time, oldest isnnow in kindergarten but still goes for after school care). Teachers were amazing and they do a great job taking care of the kids. My daughter has special needs and they've been amazing at accommodating her and helping her learn. Could not recommend them more highly
