The Goddard School

Goddard was great for my Pre-K kiddo. I could not believe how much he learned and he truly loved being there every day.

The directors in the front office are very disorganized. There are classrooms with one teacher and 17 kids while other classrooms can have 5 kids and 3 teachers in the room. They are rude to the teachers and other staff while on the phone and also in the office. The only positive thing I have to say is that Asli is very sweet and basically is the only reason the two directors for the school accomplish anything. I'm praying for this school after being here hoping no children get very seriously hurt in the unorganization of it all.

We have 2 kids (one graduated after spending 3 yrs in Goddard, last year) and the second still enrolled, with a year more to go. Our review is based on extensive research on pre-schools in Katy area and even trying out a few (just like most parents). THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PLACE TO PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR KG, (in all respects); as well as for after school activities. We would unequivocally recommend Goddard over any other Katy area pre-school. The rationale: 1. The owners are passionate about kids and it shows: There have been numerous instances when the management has gone over and beyond for us, and also many other parents that we know – just because they passionate about kids. They have kids of their own and relate and respect the parent’s perspective. They select the best teachers who share similar values and it shows. 2. Kids come first and each kid is treated independently: Our first kid was a little apprehensive as he started pre-school (separation anxiety etc.) but the excellent teachers helped him overcome with immense patience. They treat each kid as individuals with unique needs, so much so that our elder still remembers each & every one of his teachers at Goddard (spanning over 4 years). 3. State of art facility: Our experience at the Katy 2 location has been extremely good – the safety measures in place as well as hygiene and cleanliness - is by far better than other comparable centers in the area. The recently added STEM /activity center next door is a great asset. 4. Records speak for themselves: Apart from high praises online and great word of mouth recommendations – the State mandated DFPS reports showed Goddard to be far better than other providers. Hope this is helpful, best of luck!!

My son spend 1 year in this school, he had great experience here. He learned English very quickly which really surprised me. I visited many schools, but the teachers in this school are very impressive and professional. They are very experienced, always willing to share with you about your kids almost at any time. My son enjoyed the "Bye huge" every day! I highly recommended this school.

We've never heard of or come across a better daycare than this Goddard School! My daughter started going to this school since October 2013. Her Pre-K teachers have been kind, compassionate, super caring, just plain awesome! Their program is very intense and fun, with coaches who teach kids sports and games in a large size indoor gym daily. The owner is so enthusiastic about her students, teachers and programs that I can't think of a more giving environment for my child. On top of a daily busy curriculum they have field trips and frequent visiting vendors who expose kids to something new with no strings attached, no extra fees or selling promotions. The school provides 2 snacks - am and pm, and the parents provide the home made lunch for their kid. They have huge fridges for storing all your food and a special person assigned to sort cold and hot lunches to keep them at a certain temperature in those fridges. This is a very rare feature among childcare centers. We feel like a part of the family there and are very happy for our daughter because we know she is in good hands at Goddard.
