Goddard School -- McKinney (University Drive)

The Goddard School of McKinney is a shining example of educational excellence, boasting a team of devoted teachers and visionary owners. This dynamic combination creates a learning environment that truly empowers students to thrive.

The whole management team is great! Robbin the owner is very nice, very much present around the center! Special shout out to Ms Faith and Ms Kadence! My daughter started to attend for after school care again, after being gone for the summer, and she loves her teachers! They have been so sweet to my daughter and I trust them with my now first grader!

We absolutely love the Goddard School for our child. The teachers are incredibly attentive, caring, and wonderful. Our son is learning so much for his age, from letters and spelling to songs and even yoga. The classrooms are well-sized, and we adore their outdoor facility for playtime and splash pad days. Most importantly, we feel safe and trust the school's ownership.

This school is everything you could want for your child. We’ve been at Goddard for 5 years. We have our first graduating on to kinder and we feel nothing but a deep sense of gratitude to this school and the incredible people who love on, nurture and teach our babies. If I could give 10 stars I would.

So thankful our neighbors recommended the Goddard school. I enrolled my son for summer camp and he is loving it so far! Food has been great, activities are fun, and field trips are included. All staff are very nice and welcoming.

Great school! My children have been here for years and I have always been impressed with the school's commitment to a quality and nurturing program. Now that my children are older, I can see the positive impact this facility made through education, play focused learning, and conflict resolution. I would highly recommend this school to anyone and continue to be impressed with the summer program. The directors, teachers, and owners are all committed to making a positive impact on the children and their families.

We adore this school! Our daughter thrives here and the teachers are amazing.

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!

Goddard has been an amazing experience so far for my son. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. They put my child first and communicate with me so well. I wish I had found this school sooner!

This school is more than I could have ever imagined and it's because of the incredible humans who love and respect my children. The entire staff is so loving, kind and have cared for my children for several years now. The effort that is put in to everything that goes on always blows me away - from fun family events to the artwork the kids make, the balanced lunch and snacks to the broad lesson plans.The curriculum is top notch and I'm always shocked by how much my kids have learned. They are thriving at this school and I am so thankful.
Knowing your kids are safe, happy AND learning everyday is such a priceless feeling and I'm so grateful for this school which really has become our family!

So thankful for such an amazing facility for my son. The staff exceeds expectations is all areas. It's clear that from the classrooms to the playground, everything is available to nurture growth and development for all the children.

We love Goddard of McKinney (Ridge and 380)! I moved my son from another school last year and couldn’t be happier. The staff are all very friendly and happy, and the environment is very safe. I feel very comfortable leaving my son in their care and look forward to my twins beginning attendance next year.

The Goddard School McKinney is amazing. The care and thoughtfulness they put into my children’s development and social learning is phenomenal. The leadership is constantly developing and learning more tools and practices to always improve and make the learning environment better and more fun.

Amazing ownership and staff. We wouldn't have our kids anywhere else.

My daughter has been going to Goddard for over a year she has absolutely loved it. Although we are moving soon, she wants to continue her journey at another Goddard location since she's had such good experience at this location.

We sent our kiddo here from the day this location opened and are so thankful we did. He has grown so much as a little learner and been exposed to so many things! We love this Goddard!

My daughter has learned so much in the past couple months! She absolutely loves going to school here and always has a big smile when she gets to see her teachers! We are so happy we picked this school and can really tell how much the teachers love her!

We love The Goddard School!! Program is amazing and our kids love their teachers. Our oldest was well prepared for Kindergarten and has excelled! Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, dedicated & loving early child care program!

Robbin and Rick Wells put their hearts into this school. In the five years we have had our children at Goddard we have seen our son grow into a confident and self-assured elementary schooler (who can’t wait for Goddard summer camp each year) and we have seen our preemie daughter thrive! The staff is incredible and each teacher truly loves their students. The focus on self regulation, communication, and social emotional skills is one of the highlights for us as we work to bring up sensitive humans who are flexible thinkers. We cannot recommend Goddard enough!

We transferred our kids to this school a few years ago and it was the best decision. I can't say enough about how great the teachers, staff and owners are in the way they teach and prepare our kids for the future. Everyone is so friendly and you can really see the love they have for the kids and families. If you have an opportunity to tour and join, don't pass it up!

We’re so thankful for Goddard! Our son was well prepared for Kinder thanks to the education he received at Goddard.

Goddard McKinney off University/380 has been such a blessing to our family. The teachers care so much about our kids and their education. When our son transitioned to Kinder he was well prepared thanks to Goddard.

Attended my granddaughter’s graduation from pre-school yesterday. Could not have been more impressed with the teachers and the whole graduation ceremony. Teachers also took the time to say something about each child when they received their certificates.

We love our Goddard school so much! It's really the full team that makes all the difference each day. Our children are safe, learning, and truly cherished here!

Have had our child at multiple childcare centers, and this by and far the best and most consistent place. We are amazed at the things we hear they learn in their classes. Very pleased with the Goddard.

I cannot recommend Goddard enough! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed and at ease. The staff is incredibly professional, and their high standards for care are evident in everything they do.

The teachers are outstanding, with a wealth of experience and knowledge that they use to create an engaging, enriching environment for the children. They truly care about each child's individual needs and work tirelessly to help them reach their full potential.

What really sets this school apart is the warm and loving environment they have created. The children are greeted with smiles and hugs every day, and they are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in a safe, nurturing space.

As a parent, it is so important to know that your children are being well-cared for while you're away, and Goddard provides that peace of mind. I am so...

My son has been at the Goddard school since August 2020 and we couldn’t be happier. We have no doubt he is ready for Kindergarten this fall. He has had wonderful teachers in every classroom. The facility is clean and very well maintained. The communication between the school and families is wonderful! My son especially loves the monthly chess and amazing athletes that is included with the program. The office staff is always friendly and willing to help any way possible. We are truly going to miss Goddard once he graduates. Thank you for everything over the years Goddard McKinney!!!! We love you!!!

I remember waddling through the halls (very pregnant) of many daycares thinking....we're never going to find the right place. I felt so defeated until the day I walked through the Goddard school. I knew immediately that I found the perfect place that I could trust to care for & love on my daughter. That was back in 2016. Now, here we are 5 years later....my daughter has successfully graduated from Goddard and has moved on to kindergarten. The Goddard school has helped shape her into the wonderful little girl that she is today and I am forever grateful. No doubt she is fully prepared to conquer "big kid school" and has many memories of teachers & friends who have loved her and taught her along the way. Bittersweet feelings on her last day but her little brother is in the toddler room so we get to relive all the joy that Goddard brings through him! If you're...
