My daughter has attended this school for all of pre-k and will head off to Kinder this fall. I cannot be more grateful for all that Goddard has done to make my daughter feel safe, comfortable and happy! With a difficult year due to covid, they still managed to keep the entire school safe AND offer high-quality teaching and care for my child. We have loved each school weve been at, however this is the first school my daughter has come home talking about and excited to go to each day. Jennifer and Cece are responsive with any needs we have and her teachers were both teacher and care-giver....which is what we wanted. Drop-off and pick-up were incredibly smooth (all you parents know how important that is), communication is great, and the learning opportunities are top-notch! I highly recommend Goddard of Steiner Ranch to anyone looking for a safe and fun learning environment for their kiddos!!!

Fabulous Pre-K program! My daughter has learned so much while attending this school and loves her teachers and classmates. Education program is excellent and covers a broad range of topics. I would highly recommend for all age groups.

Very professional management. Good use of technology for drop off and pick up. (via Text messages). Everyday temperature checks. We get photos mostly every day.

This school is amazing for anybody! My daughter started this school in Pre K about 6 months ago and she loved her teachers and friends to a extend where she even wants to go to the school on weekends 😊. Her class teacher’s Ms Panda and Ms Bree are incredible. Ms Jennifer the owner of the school personally monitors every child growth and regularly provide us the updates. Not only they have state of art facility but also, they are quite economical comparing to Austin standards. During this pandemic time, they have followed strict norms and procedures. So, thank you guys so much for giving my daughter a wonderful education!I highly recommend this school!!!!

The infant teachers provide attentive and kind care to my daughter. When I pick up my daughter, the teachers are always friendly and take the time to chat with me about her day. There is always a sense of calm and contentment throughout the room, even if a little one is crying. That speaks volumes about the teachers’ approach to child care and development. The office staff are equally as friendly and in tune with me as a parent. The overall demeanor of the school is pleasant, caring, safe, and genuinely interested in the children’s development. I highly recommend The Goddard School at Steiner Ranch to any parent seeking peace of mind child care.

We recently moved to Austin and were looking for a Preschool for our 1.5 yr old daughter where she would learn through play and experience a loving and caring environment. We wanted something where the teacher/student ratio was lower than the state maximums and where the outdoor play experience was surrounded by nature, not parking lots and freeways. We found all of those things at the Goddart School near Steiner Ranch. The staff was wonderful; teacher care givers in each class were very loving but also new how to provide the children a structure for independence. The school owner Jennifer and her support staff were super accommodating for our family. We had several times where we were going out of town, or had family coming to town and needed to pull our daughter out for short periods of time and were not expected to pay the enrollment fees over and over like at some other Preschools and our spot was always held for us. Our daughter was very happy after her transition period and really felt comforted by the teacher care givers. We only had a super positive experience at the school itself. The only comment I would add (in case anyone is moving new to Austin and isnt familiar with the roads as we were not), the 620 traffic is horrendous and we spent far too much time in the car to continue to make the commute so we had to move schools - it was very difficult to leave as we were extremely happy there. Upon our departure, we were provided with a detailed assessment of our daughters performance and it was very helpful for our next step. 5 Stars on this end.

A place where everyone knows my childs name! What an amazing experience we have had at the Goddard School at Steiner Ranch. Walking in the door, we have experienced such a high standard of curriculum and feeling of commitment. The cleanliness has kept my child much healthier throughout each year, which has been a big plus. I am very big on happiness for my 3 1/2 year old, and he is so happy in the care of his teachers day in and day out. All the staff is courteous, easy to talk with and always helpful. Thanks to the Goddard school, my child has experienced excellent academic and social preparation for kindergarten. Hats off to the Goddard School & staff!

The owners are fantastic. The teachers are genuinely caring and take the time to connect with the children.My daughter is special needs and many schools wouldn’t even accept her. Not only did Goddard let her into the school, they actually ACCEPTED her for who she was, included her in absolutely everything and built a stronger connection with her than most of our extended family. I thought about how grateful I was for her teacher on almost a daily basis. We even drove her very far to keep her at Goddard Steiner instead of putting her at the closer Lakeway location. I don’t regret it one bit and would have kept her there longer if it wasn’t proving to be so challenging with two working parents.

We love The Goddard School for so many reasons but here are a few: 1. Our son loves it! Every time I pick him up at the end of the day he is smiling and still playing with his teachers. 2. He comes home exhausted! I love that his teachers lesson plan and have a full day of activities planned to keep him not only busy but LEARNING. This is really important to me seeing as we had a nanny before opting for The Goddard School and I felt that he wasnt learning or stimulated by her. 3. My son has truly bloomed socially and intellectually since starting at The Goddard School. His personality continues to come alive as he is stimulated daily. 4. Daily pictures! I love getting emailed throughout the day with pictures of my son enjoying his day. Its reassuring for a new/ working mom to see that her little one is not only happy but thriving. 5. We looked at other day cares in the area that had the same price point or higher and did not provide half of the stimulation that The Goddard School provides. I am so happy with our choice!

Our son started at the Goddard school when he was 6 months old. As a first time mom, I was very nervous and anxious about leaving my son in the hands of others. My husband and I felt very our son was in the best hands and loved every single day. We actually had little turnover for the entire year that he was enrolled. I would highly recommend this location to parents. Our son LOVED going to school and sometimes didnt want to leave! The staff was very attentive and very loving. Cant say enough good things about this school!

My two kiddos started here two years ago, and I am still so happy with my choice. All the teachers are top notch; engaging, kind, loving, attentive to my children. The directors (now Cecily and Kayla) and owner (Jennifer) are easy to talk to, quick to assist with any issues, and present each day. I regularly see one of them in the halls and checking on the teachers. I don’t doubt that my kids are well taken care of and will be prepared for Kindergarten.

Best pre-school I have found in the area! Teachers are great! Pictures and updates through the day make it easier on parents. My son is happy, healthy and learning everyday he is here! All about making new friends and smiles at this school!

We absolutely love our Goddard in Steiner Ranch! The place is well organized, open, airy, clean, and very inviting. They are technologically advanced. The staff are wonderful and seem happy in their work, as their attitudes and personalities reflect that. The aftercare program is extremely helpful and actually helps with homework. Big bonus- a certified teacher in aftercare staff! Our 1 year old has adjusted very quickly and has so much fun already. We love all the pics we receive and their daily report. We truly feel that they are safe with all the safety measures in place. Our previous daycares, my older children attended, did not have nearly advanced measures. Thank you Jennifer for welcoming our family and ensuring our children are well cared for.

For over 2 years my son has attended and now his younger sister has been there a year. (They are 3 and 1) The Goddard school is far and above any other daycare. From lesson planning to individualized attention for every student, they truly set themselves apart. Unlike the traditional daycares, Goddard school provides structure and learning for all ages. The teachers are attentive and loving. The staff is very focused on each child and attending to their specific needs. We cant express how much we love this particular school and how they care for our children. Our children have grown so much with their help. If you havent been by to talk to them I suggest you stop in. You will be truly pleased with what you find. I highly recommend Goddard School at Steiner ranch to any and all parents who truly want higher level care for their children.

My child loves going to school here! They have the most amazing teachers with great lesson plans- he is always learning new songs, Spanish words, sign language, and fine motor skills. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to send their children during the week.

I have worked at The Goddard School for the past two years and have had such an awesome and rewarding experience. I started out as a lead teacher and found my heart in Pre-K; I have recently been promoted to School Director and never knew I had this level of passion! I love being available to support all our staff and make sure our program develops and continues in the right direction. I work very closely with all the classrooms and our owner, Jennifer Burton. Her love and dedication to our program, families, and staff is evident in everything she does. I am also a proud Goddard parent! I have two boys (currently in preschool and Pre-K) who have an absolute blast every day! They have loved every teacher theyve had throughout the years and they have always felt genuinely loved in return. They often put up a fight to leave at the end of the day because they dont want to miss any learning opportunities! My children blow me away with how much they are learning and sometimes come home teaching me! I have no doubt they will be kindergarten ready!

My now three year old son started at The Goddard School two years ago. We have had such a great experience that we recently enrolled our infant. We love that the school is in the neighborhood because our infant hates riding in the car! The owner, Ms. Jenn, is fantastic! She is always there, available to chat, and hosts tons of events for family involvement. The events helped us as parents (new to Austin two years ago) make friends in the neighborhood. The teachers are also fantastic! You can tell they really care about their students well-being and education. My son has learned so much at Goddard these past two years. I particularly love the Art History, Sign Language and Chess enrichments. I highly recommend this school to all my friends and neighbors!
