Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The Goddard School provided an outstanding preschool education for my daughter. The teachers were warm and caring and they were concerned about the needs of each and every child. The learning activities were both fun and educational. Several times during the year, outside sources (petting zoo, piano instructor, etc) were brought into the school to provide additional learning experiences. I felt that my daughter was fully prepared for Kindergarten and she ended up being one of the best readers in her Kindergarten class, thanks to the education she received from the Goddard School.

Parent #2
Teachers are great and know how to work with children this age. I can tell they really want to be there and care about our two kids. I like the thought given to safety - fingerprint required to unlock door, security cameras, finger guards on doors. Owners are always around and have their own children in the school.

Parent #3
Loving environment, very professional, wish I could be as wonderful with my children as they are!

Parent #4
The curriculum is hands on and more in-tune to the children's needs. The facility is VERY clean and the owners are always on the premises. Great center!

Parent #5
My 18 month old daughter attends this school. She loves it and we love it. The staff knows who your child is and they are always updating us on her behavior and learning.

Parent #6
Very caring teachers & well trained. Goddard caught my attention as they have no Tx lisencing citations. The owner is very involved and at the school every day. Both my kids love going to school and have experienced a balanced learning environment. I like the fact I can provide lunch for my kids - they eat much better and I know its healthy.

We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
