The Goddard School

The Goddard School of Allen - East has been a wonderful experience! The teachers are caring, dedicated, and truly committed to the children’s learning and development.
The curriculum is top-notch, engaging, and thoughtfully designed. We highly recommend Goddard School of Allen East to any family looking for a great place for their child to learn and grow!

Update 2026:

We have left Goddard due to my kiddo graduating into kindergarten. I can’t express how much I stand by this school, the admin, the teachers who helped shape and care for my daughter. I would recommend Goddard over any other school in a 10 mile radius - the horror stories I hear make me so thankful that I never had to worry about my kiddo being fed, their overall safety, and knowing that she was safe. All things you hope for as a mother. Goddard exceeded my expectations and I would happily enroll her again if I had to do it all over again.

I was due in May of 2021 and knew at some point I would have to find a reputable child care provider. I found that and so much more at Goddard (East Allen). Amanda, Melissa, & The teachers are amazing. My daughter is so happy, loved and thriving! I wish I would have started her sooner and it makes my heart...

Goddard has been amazing for our kids and as a mom I feel comfortable leaving them there, knowing they are being loved on all day. My oldest has learned so much and she is not even 3 yet. Would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a daycare!

Hands down, best care ever! We were with them for 5 years and our youngest recently aged out. We will miss them dearly! Highly recommend!

We switched to Goddard in January and could not be happier! They truly care about the kids and my son is so happy there. Love the front office staff and teachers.

We love The Goddard School of Allen East for our before and afterschool care. Staff is caring, patient, and knowledgeable about the needs of our neurodiverse population. Thank you:)

I love this school and it's staff. One of the best decisions we ever made for our kids was switching them from their old school to this one. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing teachers and management. Best preschool in Allen hands down

We love Goddard! Teachers and staff are all so caring and friendly. Our younger daughter has learned so much since she joined in Feb 2024. Our older one loved the summer camp and all the field trips during the summer. All teachers know my preschooler by name and that makes it clear how dedicated they are to childcare.

Spirit gave The Goddard School an AWESOME Recommendation

Where do we even begin with Goddard?
We have had an absolutely wonderful experience over the past two years. From the incredible owners, John and Amanda, to the amazing teachers like Ms. Carla and Ms. Kola, every single person has played a role in making our time here unforgettable.
Our son has loved every moment since he started, and the growth we've seen in him—academically, socially, and emotionally—is truly unmatched.

While I’ve mentioned just a few names, please know that this could easily turn into a novel if I listed every single person who has loved and cared for our son—from the dedicated office staff to all the teachers throughout the school.

If you’re considering a place for your child for daycare, preschool, or kindergarten—look no further. Goddard is the place.

The Goddard School of Allen (East) kindergarten is great school with amazing teachers and management. I think is the best in Allen, TX. My kids are very happy there.Recommended

Great school full of positivity and kindness! My kiddos teachers were great at meeting him where he was and pushed him to grow socially and academically.

This school provides an exceptional learning environment, supported by dedicated staff and outstanding teachers. They take excellent care of my child and foster both academic and personal growth. The curriculum and activities are thoughtfully designed to help students succeed in all aspects of life. I am truly impressed with the school and deeply appreciate the commitment of its staff.

The Goddard School welcomed our family with open arms. The owners and staff are fantastic and great at communicating with families. Our family would recommend Goddard to anyone who wants to set their child up for success in elementary and have fun while doing it!

Goddard school of east Allen has been a wonderful part of our son’s early childhood. The staffs are caring, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. Every day, our son comes home smiling and full of stories about what he learned and did. It gives us so much peace knowing he’s in a safe, supportive, and enriching environment. We’re deeply grateful for all they’ve done for our family.

Our daughters have thrived here—emotionally, socially, and academically. The teachers are incredibly warm, attentive, and passionate about early childhood development. They create a nurturing and structured environment where our kids feel safe, loved, and eager to learn.

We also really appreciate the daily updates and photos, which give us peace of mind and a window into their day. The curriculum is rich and well-balanced, blending fun activities with strong educational foundations. It’s not just daycare—it’s a place where learning and personal growth are at the heart of everything they do.

The leadership team is responsive and involved, and communication with parents is excellent. We truly feel like partners in our children’s early education. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll at Goddard!

I absolutely love it here. Both my babies get love, teaching and they truly look forward to going. So much more than “babysitters” this place is all about accreditations and developing the children for the future. You can’t go wrong here.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Goddard East Allen. My son has been attending since 2023. The owner Amanda is on site everyday and is truly a presence. She knows all kids by name and they enjoy going to her office to talk to her. The office staff (Allison, Melissa, and Paulina) are also so hands on, professional, and know all students. All of the teachers that my son has had have been nothing short of amazing. I was very hesitant putting my son in daycare due to his special needs, but they took him on with not only open arms, but proactively asked us how they can help him. He has truly thrived and it has been due to his teachers and all the other support staff and office staff that cheer him on and help him. He enjoys going to school everyday. It’s so evident that not only his current teachers, but the teachers he has had care about him. They also have really nice events...

Such a good school. The teachers care so deeply for our kiddo. We feel it is truly a blessing to have our little guy going here. There are also so many other activities to enjoy here. Goddard makes this a great family like community.

The teachers and staff are very warm and friendly. Always smiling and offering hugs if child needs/wants it. Staff’s ability to help children grow academically, physically, interpersonally. Great, warm, supportive environment.

Goddard has been the best place for our kids’ growth! The staff is friendly, respectful, and the communication is fantastic. Our kids’ academics, confidence, and overall happiness has grown so much during their time at Goddard!

So happy we found this school for my daughter. We tried others in Allen but this one my daughter is engaged with the curriculum, learning and teachers. The owner is present, the teachers care and my daughter is happy 😊. Thank you !

Owners, Amanda and John, run their Goddard of Allen (East) school with the highest of standards. The staff is truly OUTSTANDING! Our children are thriving over kids who go to Montessori or Primrose schools due to the commitment, care and curriculum of each class and staff member. I feel very fortunate that we found Goddard Allen (East). I would keep my children there if they offered grades 1-5 and beyond!

Hands down Best Preschool in Allen, TX! My daughter started from 1.5months until graduation at age 5! Our experience has been the greatest! She learned so much now that she's in school she's ahead of everybody and we couldn't be more proud of her!! Teachers do care and love the kiddos! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic school. The owners are fantastic and the teachers are top notch. I’d highly recommend the school.

Goddard Allen (East) has been our kids’ home away from home since 2016. Amanda and John are fantastic owners who care so much about every kid’s wellbeing and growth in their care. They have wonderful and caring staff and front office, with many of them having been there for many years which truly makes it feel like one big family.
My kids have started in the infant room and went all the way through their private kindergarten program and still go there for after-school now that they are in elementary school. Communications have always been good and if I ever had a question or wanted to discuss something, Amanda and the front office staff is there to listen, provide feedback and immediately address and clear questions and always look for ways to continually improve.
My kids have grown into confident young kids thanks to the nurturing and supportive staff that guides and...

I love this school. My child has been going for more than a year now. She has learned so much in this school. Everyone has been so supportive and amazing! I am so glad we found this school! Thank you for all that you guys do!
