The Goddard School

We've had a great experience at Goddard through the three years that we've been with them. The staff at the front office have been very friendly, cooperative and easy to communicate with. Mercedes and David (the owners) have been helpful if ever there was a question for them, otherwise the front office staff were well-equipped to provide any information we needed. My child progressed well through the years and we felt well-supported through the different emotional, physical and cognitive milestones we navigated.

My child dealt with separation anxiety and drop-offs were hard - but the teachers helped and supported our child through it all. One time, after several consecutive heartbreaking drop-offs, Mercedes stopped me at the front lobby and offered comforting words and ideas to help my child through this phase - she understood that drop-off chaos took a toll on the...

We couldn't be happier with this daycare! The curriculum is wonderful, we love that the babies get such a variety of physical activities, arts, and crafts every day. My daughter loves the food, too, I can tell it's made with real care. The facility is spotless, and it's obvious the staff take the babies' health seriously. We also really appreciate the frequent app updates, which help us feel connected to her day even when we're apart. The teachers are warm, kind, and genuinely attentive to every child. We especially want to give a shout-out to Ms. Vida and Ms. Itza - they're patient, endlessly cheerful, and their love for the little ones shines through in everything they do. We're very happy with the decision we made!

Our child has taken three classes here, and every teacher has been wonderful. Jenniffer, Vida, Makayla, and the assistant teachers are all incredibly caring and attentive to the babies. You can truly feel their love and dedication. They are all so kind and warm, which makes us feel very comfortable and at ease leaving our child in their care !

Ms Amy is just so wonderful. I would recommend her as the best teacher, the affection and care she showed for my child is unforgettable. She is also very good at teaching things to childern.

“Ms. Kiran is a wonderful teacher! She is kind, patient, and truly cares about the children. My child enjoys her class so much and has learned a lot. We really appreciate her hard work and support!”
“Ms. Amy always has the most beautiful smile. She is warm, kind, and makes the children feel happy and comfortable every day. We truly appreciate her caring heart!”

We started with Goddard in April 2026 and are grateful for the support provided by Ms Makayla and Ms Dharani to help make our son comfortable with the new school ! Thank you and we appreciate your time and effort

We have absolutely LOVED having our 5 year old and baby here. Our kids’ individual needs are always considered and met. Our 5YO has learned so much in pre-k from Ms. Kiran and Ms. Amy and he has so much fun. Our baby has adapted very quickly to attending with Ms. Assem and Ms. Maria working so hard to win her over and support her adjustment.

Ms Kiran and Ms Amy are amazing teachers for our son in Pre K-2! He absolutely loves coming to class everyday to learn something new and doing lots of craft work and art work!

We are incredibly grateful to the staff for their exceptional care during our daughter’s transition to daycare. The progress she has made is remarkable—not only has she gained confidence during morning drop-offs, but her eating and sleeping habits have improved significantly.

Thank you to Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Isabella for their classroom leadership, Ms. Tae for the excellent meal preparation, and Ms. Aliza for the thoughtful curriculum. Furthermore, the consistent communication from Ms. Nour and Ms. Catherine has been invaluable to us as parents. We truly appreciate the positive environment you have created for her.

Ms. Nikhila and Ms. Andrea have helped my child gain confidence in social interaction and problem solving. After school, my child always tells me all the fun she has. Her teachers have been so kind and considerate of my child's goals and helps her achieve it by practicing at school. After joining Goddard, my child is learning and practicing techniques that her teachers taught her everyday, like taking deep breaths and being brave before taking on new problems. Thank you, Ms. Nikhila and Ms. Andrea, for helping nurture my child.

I’m at peace when my newborn is taken care by the lovely Goddard teachers

We have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old at The Goddard School in Avery Ranch. Our family relocated from another state, and English is not our first language.
We were initially hesitant to place our child in a fully English-speaking environment, but we realized our child needed structure and classroom routines before entering elementary school.

What stands out most is how patient and attentive the teachers here are. Our 4-year-old struggles with English and can lose focus easily, but they never give up on him. They take the time to understand him and work closely with us to support his development.

The teachers offered a thoughtful perspective on what our child needed at this stage. They encouraged us to build small, consistent habits at home that support his growth, and we’ve already seen meaningful changes in his confidence and independence.

This school is truly excellent, with a bright atmosphere, clean facilities, and kind teachers and staff. My child loved her Pre-K2 class very much and still misses it, and she was very happy in such a warm and welcoming environment. We are especially grateful to Teacher Tyler and Teacher Kiran for their care and support.

We’ve had nothing but a great experience with Goddard. All the staff members are so friendly and helpful! We had Ms Oma in Preschool 1 and now Ms Amy in Preschool 2. They are so wonderful and really helped my toddler come out of her shell and progress in her communication and motor skills. Ms Karen has been so helpful as well with the hurtles we had to jump to complete and submit our military childcare paperwork. Thank you for all that you do!

UPDATE: We currently have Ms.Sudi and Ms.Sylvia and we so thankful for their professionalism and care. It’s such a relief to be able to fully trust them with my child. They consistently offer guidance and support when needed. And just seeing my child not only progress with the education but just receive so much love from her teachers gives me peace of mind.

A school filled with caring and loving teachers especially Mrs Rajae and Mrs Amy .They both are creativity, calm classroom management, and attention to each child’s safety and emotional needs give us complete peace of mind. Our son has grown much in confidence, social skills, and independence because of the warm, structured environment you create. Thank you for treating our little one as if they were your own and for making Goddard a place they truly love.

Goddard has been amazing for our LO. We started with him in the first steps room and then to the toddler class and both have been great. His teachers Ms. Jennifer, Ms. McKayla and Ms. Vida have been great at introducing him to the daycare environment and keeping him entertained throughout the day. The office staff (especially Nour) as well are super good at keeping us informed and assuring us through the difficult period of transitioning to daycare.

All praises! Would recommend 100%

Our child is thriving and has lots of fun at Goddard for about 2 years. We love his teachers and thankful for all the nurturing environment they create! Special appreciation for Ms. Nikhila, Ms. Mikaela, Ms. Aurelys and Ms. Raquel!

Our 6-month-old little one has been having great time in the Goddard School! She is excited to go to school in the morning and looks playful in the classroom. The teachers provide various stimulating activities that contributed to her growth. We also very much appreciate their attentive care of our baby’s sensitive skin. Thank you to Teacher Michelle, Teacher Nadiya, Teacher Jennifer, and Teacher Belle for everything!

We are so happy to have found this school and community. Their curriculum is well thought out, and teachers are very supportive. We love Ms. Tyler, Ms. Karin, Ms. Aurelys, and Ms. Raquel at Goddard. Our kids are always smiling and happy when we pick them up.

We have been Goddard School Avery Ranch for last 4 years. We love the care, compassion and thoughtful education approach of Ms Tyler and Ms Kiran in Pre K2. Thank you for all you do.

We’ve been at Goddard for about a month now and so far it’s been a great experience! Our four year old loves his teacher, Miss Tyler. He loves Miss Kiran as well. Our youngest is 7 months and is always clean and happy when we pick him up. Miss Nadiya does a great job with him.

Miss Vita is an amazing teacher — very attentive, caring, and truly dedicated to every child. She supports their development, encourages learning, and always creates a warm and positive environment.

My daughter smiles every time I say Miss Vita’s name — that’s how much she loves and trusts her. And it’s clear that all the children feel the same way.

The school itself is wonderful as well — warm, organized, and truly focused on children’s well-being and development. We feel very safe and happy here.

Highly recommend this school and especially Miss Vita!

I love Godard school because my daughter loves the teachers. Miss Kam and Mis Ashley are amazing teachers anyone could have.
They work hard towards developing her personality and are very warm.

We love the efforts they take to maker her life merrier at school.

Goddard has been excellent. Riya loves it. Ms. Amy is very warm and friendly. Riya can't stop talking about her. This was Riya's first school experience and we could not have asked for a better school and class teacher.

We had an wonderful experience with The Goddard School. The staff is really polite and answers everything with courtesy. The teachers are really caring .Our daughter loves her teachers and keeps talking about them . I would like to thank Miss Iliana & Miss Tanya for their patience and caring nature towards our kid. She has made wonderful friends here and learned a lot here. She talks a lot now and has become so much confident. We will never forget Miss Karen ,Miss Noor , Miss Iliana, Miss Princess. Everyone is wonderful. Sadly we have to leave the school as we shifted to a place which is far from the school but in future if ever we get a chance we would definitely go back to Goddard Avery Ranch. We highly recommend this school for the growth of the young kids.

We sent our child here after a terrible experience at a preschool Leander and absolutely loved it. Teachers and staff were professional, warm and accommodating and our child came home everyday with another positive story to tell on top of the wonderful learning experience. For the friendliness of the staff and the experience our child had.

My daughter is turning two this month and I couldn’t be happier with the class that she’s in, Ms. Kambri and Ms. Ashlee are hands down some of the BEST and AMAZING teachers!!! Before she got moved up she wasn’t potty trained and had her pacifier 24/7. Now my daughter is talking a lot more, using/telling me when she needs to go potty, and only has her pacifier at night when she sleeps. She is also saying/recognizing different animals and their sounds as well as colors and her ABCs. My daughters attitude has changed so much in the short month that she has attended their class. Both of these teachers are miracle workers, I love how much my daughter is thriving in their class and how much the teachers truly care about their children. It makes me so happy to see my daughter love her class everyday in the photos they send me. Thank you so much for being great teachers!!!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School! Even after just a few weeks, our kiddos are already thriving, and we can tell how much they enjoy going each day. Ms. Tyler, Ms. Ashlee, and Ms. Cam have been absolutely wonderful. It’s clear they care about what they do, and that makes all the difference. As a parent, it’s such a relief to know our kiddos are not only safe, but also loved and encouraged in such a positive environment. We’re so grateful to have found this place!
