My 3 year old grandson is in Ms. Sachas class. Ms. Sacha is the best! She is kind, nurturing and encouraging. He loves her. Its evident she loves him too. All of the staff make us feel so welcome. Everyone is friendly and promotes a positive environment. So happy to know my grandson is surrounded by people who are caring and nurturing, especially his teacher, Ms. Sacha.

Two of my babies go to the Goddard school. A 3year old and a 1 year old. So far, it’s been a wonderful experience as per academic growth. My 3year old is been attending the Goddard school since she was 13months old. And for sure she loves to be in school everyday. But, There’s always room for improvement especially with how they keep changing teachers. I do understand with COVID, things are a little challenging, but there’s got to be something they could do to have these teachers stay. Because having a new teacher in a classroom every now and then for my one year old especially isn’t something I quite like as it really does affect a child’s progress.

The Goddard School has been my first choice for child care ever since I toured it a couple years ago. Now that my daughter is 3 I decided to take the next step in enrolling her in pre-school and toured the Goddard School once more and was satisfied with the decision of choosing this school. The staff make you feel very welcome and take precautions of keeping the children safe. They are very involved in making sure everything is being handled accordingly and taking care of any concerns.. Ms.Sacha is my daughters teacher.Shes truly a wonderful caring teacher. She is very considerate of my daughters needs and her pace of learning and growing. She has made sure to keep me involved and inform in my daughters improvement.  And I can see the change in my daughter. She is communicating more and becoming more independent. Ms.Sacha really loves her students and I know my daughter enjoys her time with her. Thank you for all your patience and hard work and the dedication to our children. Her assistant as well has been awesome Ms.Nemon ( sorry it may be misspelled) Thanks to Ms.Tiffany, Ms.Ty, Ms.Tori and Ms.Angel for always being so helpful

My husband and I are so grateful to have found Goddard. When looking to return to the workforce during a pandemic and having been at home with my LO for 7 months, Goddard provided us with a safe and educational place for our son. Miss Grisela and Miss Janay were just what our 7 month old needed. The teachers and staff ALWAYS handle my son with care and professionalism. I couldnt ask for a better place for my son to be! Pick up and drop off is effective, informative and safe. Miss Tori guided us through the process and provided me with information and comfort in getting started at Goddard. Kudos to all the staff for safety, effectiveness and being just great teachers!

Our toddler attended The Goddard School for several months while our workplace daycare center was closed. We only have positive things to say! Her teacher, Ms. Stella, was wonderful. During this time, our daughters vocabulary increased significantly, and we could tell that she really loved her teachers.

Very toxic placeThey change employees almost every month if that employee doesn’t quit on their own.Children are consistently getting sick parents complain about children being sick. There’s no thoroughly disinfecting going on. The list goes on

Our son really enjoys his time at Goddard. They were accommodating throughout the enrollment process, even when we needed various changes. From day one, the teachers are very welcoming and nurturing to not only our toddler but my husband and I as well. We recently switched from another daycare in the area and the amount of affection I saw from day one between the teacher (Ms. Stella!) and my son was vastly different, all while still helping him learn and keep the daily structure. They have also been keeping up with great safety protocols during COVID and working hard to keep everyone safe and informed. Highly Recommend!

My daughter loves coming to school each day. She’s happy and excited to see her teachers. It was a rough transition to switch her from one day to another. However, Ms. Tori and Ms. Toni welcomed her with smiling faces and lots of love everyday! I love how I get pictures throughout the day to let me know how she’s doing. When I pick her up from schools she’s is fully engaged, always clean, and dry diaper! It’s the best feeling in the world to know that your child is safe and happy while at school. The front office staff is very polite, friendly, warm, and always smiling. They greet my daughter by name each day! Thank you Ms. Linzie for the positivity on her first day and giving me specific feedback on how things went. Ms. Tiffany, thank you for always being able to answer any questions I have (I know there’s a lot) you’re very knowledgeable and never made me feel incompetent. All in all, this is a great school with amazing and FRIENDLY staff and admin. Keep up the great work.

We fell in love with the school as soon as we toured it, and it was an easy choice amongst the others we toured at the time. We have loved all the teachers, and are currently really happy with Ms. Hopkins. Our toddler is learning so much, including manners and independence, and having great days at school. Ive noticed that Ms. Hopkins is really attentive and kind with the kids, and that makes it so much easier at drop-off -- my daughter has no problem staying and playing with a little attention from Ms. Hopkins.

My daughter joined the Goddard school a month back in the toddlers class, and this is her second day care with the first being only for a couple of days and with not good experience for us. She used to be at home with me prior to joining the school and was too attached to me, so was a bit worried about the transition period, but it was super smooth, within just 1 week my daughter got so comfortable with her teacher Miss Tori. I give all the credit for this smooth transition to miss Toris loving, caring and friendly behavior.She takes extra effort to make the kid comfortable and observes their behavior very well. We love Goddard school, the teacher and staff all are very good. The school is clean and well maintained. My daughter loves the school and Miss Tori so much that as soon as she wakes up and we say lets go to school, she gets so happy and super excited. Miss Tori and Goddard school thank you so much for being our saviour otherwise I wouldnt be able to join work back.

My son is currently in the infant class. I highly recommend The Goddard School - Energy Corridor. The teachers are attentive and I feel like my child is a priority. My son is always smiling and happy to see his teachers when I drop him off in the morning.The activities in the classroom are far and above what I would be able to do (or know to do) on my own. I like the emphasis put on reading and STEAM and look forward to my child being able to engage more with these aspects as he grows.I have no doubts when I drop off my child that he is going to have a fun day of play and learning. And, when he gets sick or isnt feeling well his teachers know because he doesnt act like his normal self (which means they know my child well enough to know what he is like when he is feeling well).

My daughter started in the first steps classroom just before her first birthday. I was extremely nervous about putting her in daycare and her adjustment but to my surprise she’s really liking it. Ms Fatima has been extremely caring and loving from day one, she is very detailed and provides attentive care to each of the kids. My daughter goes to her SO easily every morning! Goddard has definerly exceeded my expectations.

We sent our daughter to the Goddard school after visiting many preschools. I am very happy that I made the right choice two years ago. The school has a good play and learn curriculum. The environment is safe, clean and educational. The staff and teachers are approachable and patient. The daily communication system is very effective through email and app.

On the day before Valentine’s Day (Friday, Feb. 13,  2015) I had the opportunity to attend my grandsons class Valentine Party.When I showed up at the front office, I was greeted politely and cheerfully by Ms Terrie, the director of Goddard School.  She promptly led me to my grandsons class (Pre-Toddler.)Ms Terrie introduced me to the class and I was warmly welcomed by the two teachers, Ms Felecia  and Ms Alicia.  The staff accommodated me so well, I immediately felt right at home.  While taking pictures of my grandson enjoying the party, I observed all the activities in the classroom as well as on the playground.  They were  well-structured and the two teachers were very lively and animated; they truly were enthusiastic about their job.  These two ladies created a fun-filled and exciting atmosphere for the kids.  In my humble opinion, its excellent for early childhood learning.   I was (and still is) deeply impressed.Afterward, I sent an email to the owner Mr. Robert Chow. I congratulated him and his dedicated staff for doing an outstanding job in caring, nurturing and educating our young generation.  I know my grandson is in good hands..

I would strongly recommend The Goddard School to anyone who is looking to start schooling for their toddlers.Goddard has worked wonders for my little boy.My son is very comfortable in Goddard. I think the number of activities that are done during the time he spends atschool is what makes the difference. He is always in a good mood when I go to pick him up.As a parent, that is truly a comforting thing to know that your child is safe and happy.I like the fact that a lot of activities are done to keep the children busy and interested.The teachers and staff are very friendly, caring and helpful towards all our needs and concerns.The curriculum at Goddard is well thought of , and a lot of preparation goes into coming up with the activities for each day.Parents receive emails with daily reports and pictures via the tadpoles app; this is the best part of my day , to know and see how my child is doing.I am very happy that my son is part of this wonderful and nurturing establishment.

My daughter started attending this school as an infant and is now in the preschool class with Ms. Hopkins. There are so many wonderful teachers here that have helped my daughter grow and learn in a loving, safe and happy environment: Ms. Tori, Ms. Fatima, Ms. Neysa, Ms. Norma and Ms. Hopkins are all wonderful! My daughter truly enjoys going each day to see her friends and her amazing preschool teacher. We love this place!

My son started at The Goddard School when he was 3.5 months. I was very nervous about day care and my baby getting sick or not being taken care of like I would. My experience has been amazing!!! Ms. Graciela is the lead teacher in the infant room. She is kind, caring and very smart on what babies need. I also love Ms. Cynthia. She is the assistant teacher. I am a new Mom and always go to them and ask questions about feedings and naps and other baby related questions. My baby is soooo happy there and gets excited every morning when he gets to school. Ms. Stephanie comes into the room in the afternoon to help and she is also a kind soul and very good natured. My baby loves her. The facility is clean, safe and overall the children seem very happy to be here. Ms. Tiffany, who is the director, runs a very functional school and does a great job communicating things to me. I have an option to get a nanny, but I prefer to send my baby to the Goddard School because he is socializing and developing quicker than other babies. He also has improved on his development since he has been there (holding bottle, grabbing things, etc). They have really done a great job with him.

Simply said, A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.The Goddard School is the most amazing place, if you are looking for a place where your child is loved and cared for with a genuine heart.Both our sons went to this daycare since they were 1 years old, and now my daughter attends when they were out for break or holidays they were always excited when it was back to school day. This is very important becausse there is nothing worse than having to walk away from a sad or crying child because they are unhappy with the daycare. But with Goddard it was and still is a second home to them, where they made some of their first friendships. The office staff and teachers there will treat your child like their own - hugs, smiles, back rubs, extra cuddles on tough days. They have many years of experience and know how to see each child as an individual with different personalities and needs.The curriculmn and inclusion that is offered is also one of the top reasons I love the school both my sons are in GT/Advance Placement classes and I truly feel the teachig structure there played a major role in their academic success. They also have a beautiful, sunny backyard so my kiddos get to play outside with bubbles, water tables and sprinkles.It is truly the most wonderful spot that we will forever cherish in our hearts for helping our boys (and now daughter) grow and flourish! 10 STARS!Sincerely,Overprotective Mommy

Our daughters first day in school ever, coincided with The Goddard Schools opening day, so as parents we were both excited and worried too! To our amazement, the love, care and personalized interest by the teachers really made the process easier for her to acclimate staying for short periods away from us. The management staff is wonderful and so is the whole crew. Good job!

My daughter attended this school for 5 months. The only reason for taking her out was because my job situation had changed. This was the first time that my daughter had been in a day care setting, so I was very nervous and worried at first. The first 2 weeks were challenging for her but after that she was excited about going. Its hands on learning and the teachers work with the children as a group and individually. I really like that Goddard tests the children to see what they know and what they need help on for their age group. My daughter actually had fun learning. She would get excited about telling us what she did each day. We saw a big improvement in her vocabulary from the first month. All the staff was nice and caring. We never had any issues. We were very happy with everything that she learned and her experience there.

Clean environment, you truly see teachers and staff are truly dedicated to the students and their education. Daily activity lesson showing which skill set they touched on each day is great for a parent to see. Having an organic snack regimen is great and a rarity.

Miss Tifanny is wonderful and would not mind our calling countless times and asking after the boys when they just started going there. The teachers are amazing and know their stuff, they teach the kids really well and my children have improved by leaps and bounds since joining The Goddard School. I particularly like that they have so many extra curricular activities too. I would recommend this school to any parent, thank me later!

My three kids, a 5 year daughter and a 3 and 1 1/2 year sons, attend the Goddard School. They were previously attending a child care facility when younger but we were looking for a more academically driven program. After looking several programs we decided to tour the Goddard school were we were met by the owner Robert who kindly informed us about their programs and plans while touring the facilities.We were sold with their educational program and enroll our kids there. After a year we have not regrets. We could not be more pleased with the school, its teachers and the Goddards educative program as we have witnessed our kids excited about school and thriving in their education. We have highly recommended the school to all our friends.

We are very happy with The Goddard. First we enrolled our son to assist 2 days a week but after a couple of weeks he was so happy and learning so much and even was asking to go everyday! He has learned so much not only about math and letters but also about community and manners. He’s always talking about his teacher Mrs Hopkins who btw does a wonderful job teaching and taking care of the kiddos.The staff is very professional and friendly , the food is good and the rooms are clean.Thanks so much The Goddard and keep the good work!!

The Goddard School in the Energy Corridor is amazing. The staff and teachers are very excited to work at the school and be around the children. It really shows how much they love what they do. I was always greeted with smiles and good mornings. My daughter had Mrs. M and Mrs. Vanessa as her teachers and they were amazing! Stellar!The school offers wonderful programs, like a free book a month, yoga, dance, music- that are included with tuition. Everyone in the class gets a book and they read it together and do activities that relate to the book. For example, they read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and then do an art activity where they make their own caterpillars or they do a physical activity where they act like caterpillars.They also have a great language program where they teach Spanish and Chinese. Mr. Bradley comes to the school once a week to do music lessons. Its amazing.My daughter is currently attending a Goddard in another location in the city and it doesnt compare. We bought a house in a different area so we had to move to a different Goddard. Its more expensive and offers none of the extra curricular activities without increasing the cost. No free books and no music program whatsoever. I really wish I could return to the Goddard in the Energy Corridor but the drive and Houston traffic is miserable. I would recommend The Goddard School- Energy Corridor to any parent who wants more than just a glorified day care. Its wonderful!

We chose this school for our toddler son, immediately after the tour we had. (We toured 3 times; twice with an appointment and once as just a drop in) The facility is immaculate, the teachers--and I mean every single one of them that we saw while on the tour, were incredibly sweet, energetic and welcoming. Every child was laughing or smiling. The teachers had such great control over the class-- to see little ones all sitting together on a mat during story time was impressive. THEY HOME COOK ALL THEIR MEALS!!! Most places serve all pre-packaged food; not the case here. Ms.Tori is our sons lead teacher and she is AMAZING!!!!! She is sooo compassionate, fun, and organized. We have noticed such great changes in our son since being in her class. He dances, sings, does sign language and also is trying to say some spanish words. He loves Ms. Tori! I cannot CANNOT say enough wonderful things about Ms. Tori or the school. If a safe, clean, fun facility that focuses on your childs education and personal development is what you are looking for, you MUST bring your child here.

The Goddard School on Crescent Plaza (energy corridor location) is amazing! Absolutely love all of the staff! My daughter’s teacher is amazing Ms. Dystiny genuinely cares about each one of her students I feel not only safe and worry free sending her everyday but I know without a doubt she’s learning, maturing and exercising healthy practices to prepare her for school. Ms. Dystiny is energetic, she’s engaging with her students, she can sing (really great- her students love it) and she’s patient when addressing behavioral issues with assertion but simultaneously with care. She is literally my dream for my daughter’s first teacher!My daughter has only been attending for 3 months but she’s already gone from simple to more complex sentence structure and formation, inferring, making predictions, and learning behavioral skills! I’m so pleased at her development, it’s well worth the money you will spend to invest in your child’s future. This is not just a daycare where they color and play outside!

I love The Goddard School! This place is more than just a “daycare.” It truly is advanced nurturing environment that focuses on early childhood development and education. I recently enrolled my son in this school when he turned three months old. I really loved the fact that the facility was clean, the faculty was diverse, knowledgeable, and personable, and the school holds major events (i.e, the science fair and the recycle fashion show) for all of the children, including the infants. Since he has been enrolled, he’s been reaching all of his developmental milestones much quicker than other babies his age (according to his pediatrician). That alone is a testament to their hands-on activities that are tailored to helping each of the children reach such important developmental milestones. Specifically, Ms. Graciela and Ms. Susana are phenomenal because they worked with my son to create art projects that resulted in him holding his bottle three weeks after I enrolled him. They even read to him every day and send one free book home so we can read to him also. We were so happy with The Goddard School! I also love that they send pictures and the electronic daily report, detailing his naps, meals, diapers, and activities. These pictures and reports helped me transition back to work because I felt like I knew what my son was doing every single day. I really appreciate Ms. Graciela, Ms. Susana, and Ms. Cynthia make sure that they speak to my son in English and Spanish because we really like language immersion programs. Not only do they ensure that they speak to him in Spanish, but they teach me new words too! Finally, I would also like to recognize Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Terrie! They are amazing assets to the organization. They are friendly. They promptly send out notices. They even called to check on my son when he was out for a day after experiencing a fever from his immunization shots. They truly CARE!! Lastly, the school is very, very safe and secure. The security system only permits parents (and authorized guardians) to enter into the school by handprints. If you’re looking for a school for your child, please do yourself a favor and select The Goddard School!!! We are very IMPRESSED by this school.

My son came home happy from school. He wakes up saturday morning and says Mamma, I want to go to school. I want to play with my friends and Ms. Sabrina. Learning with fun and play made this school a better place for my son. Daily sanitary habits, social etiquette, art, music, dance everything made my son happy and I couldnt have asked for more. The school has a great staff and it took any complaints we had seriously is what we liked about this school as well. The teachers care for their kids and that is really important for a parent. My son misses his old buddies and teachers!

We have had problems with the staff consistently showing up on time. 6:30am is closer to 6:45 -7:00am depending on the day of the week. If you are a parent who wishes to utilize the alleged open time of 6:30am, then do not enroll your child here.These concerns have been raised to the management and owner. Us raising the issue corrects the problem temporarily. But eventually, the staff reverts back to strolling in after open. In our experience with other daycare facilities, we never once had an issue with staff showing up on time. Only this one has there been a consistent issue.

The young lady that showed me around kept trying to rush me out during my tour of the facility. When I asked her a question, she raised her voice at me very rudely. The tuition prices were outrageous! Seriously? Lunch isnt even provided and they want to raise the rates? Plus charge you for supplies your child will use per semester? Come on, do you think Im stupid??? The owner was there in the class that I was in and didnt even introduce herself or even acknowledge me. She just went about taking care of the kids totally disregarding me. Talk about rude people! Apparently an incident happened while I have there so the young lady that was showing me around had to leave to tend to the child so she rudely dismissed me and left me to showed myself out. As a prospective customer, I dont believe that kind of treatment was necessary. I would give NO STARS if I could!!!

This is the worst school Ive ever known. What the people care is money, money is their god and children is just the tool for them to make money.I enrolled my baby into this school last year, so I paid 250 registration fee and two weeks deposit. Altogether its almost 600. But my baby was not used to school and got ill so I talked to the head of the school and postponed my baby for half a year.However, there are always unexpected circumstances to arise, we moved to another place so I talked to the principal if I can get my deposit back. I understand that the registration fee is non-refundable, but I think its totally reasonable to get my deposit back. The last two weeks tuition since we havent been to school at all for this two weeks. But the principal said something like, hey, Ive met parents like you too often before, and I know they just come up with an excuse and want to get their money back. If every parent do things like that, how can our school make money. I wont give any of your money back. I was very angry but I have no way to get my money back since its already in his pocket.So I just gave up and lost 600 dollars in this bad school with bad people. But I feel lucky still because I didnt give them more chances to make money from me. I believe any school in this neighborhood is better than this one. Thank god I dont need to see these bad people again.

This place is first rate. The teachers are wonderful. The site is clean. And classical music echoes through the hallways.

My daughter started this school at 12 months (now 14.5 months) and her teachers are doing a great job. They both care about the well-being of the children and are continuously looking for ways to improve the classroom environment. I get multiple pictures throughout the week of what she is doing and its awesome a joy seeing her learn to wash her hands or learning different yoga poses (which she will do at home sometimes) or how they incorporate the monthly themes into their day, this month it is all about story tales so they learned about Humpty Dumpty, Little Red Riding Hood. The school gives the children a book every month, which is nice touch for the children.

I will recommend to my friends if they come to Houston, it is quite different from Chinese kindergarten, it changed my concept about kid education greatly!

My son has been in this school for over a year. We love this place and deeply trust this school. I have read some of the low star ratings. Since I have no position questioning their story, I would like to share some points that we like about The Goddard School West Houston1. Front Desk Staff and Management: These ladies are always very nice and helpful. My son had a seizure before so whenever his temperature raises above 98F we getsuper nervous and call the front desk to check his temperature VERY frequently till the point that we even feel bad to call the 5th time on a day....on the other side of the phone, its always a welcome and warm response, immediate action, and they are even forced (by us) to familiarize C degrees vs. F. They also gave us many good advises and sometimes even remind us important things that we forgot. I know they are proud of calling themselves school as they offer many academic and education. We like them because they are a daycare who really care.2. My son is still under 3 so my reviews are mainly focusing on the first step to toddler to get-set. One good thing about this school, unlike the other schools we once visited, is that they separate kids by about 6-10 months into different classes. Its hard to imagine (in some other schools) what will happen when a 2 years oldtry to wrestle a toy from the hands of a 3 year old boy. Another merit of this class arrangement is that my son starts to build friendship with other kids of same agesince basically the whole group of 10-ish kids move together through the past 15 months.3. We are very lucky to have good teachers in each room too. They care. My son is a little crier especially in the morning and especially during some transition time. His teacher sees that, come to him, talk and comfort him, and even protect him. I can see his face turn calm and comfort when he sees his favorite teacher. Our son isa little shy and didnt wave or say hello to anybody. His teachers and the front desk staff/directors always smile and say hi to him every single time, even after he moves to other classrooms. Sometimes we almost feel awkward when my son didnt react at all but they always have big smile on face. Yesterday when a classmates momtold us that my son comes to her, waved hello, and showed her his lego, we cant express how big of a thank that we want to give to them.Again, for the negative comments, I cant say anything but I, as a parent, do understand that they are managing a group of kids. There is difference between taking care of a group of children vs. taking care of your own child. However, we choose to take them to daycare for (always) a reason that we cant avoid. On the other hand, not being treated as the top priority sometimes is health to a kid. Rest assured, thats a daycare we stayed over a year. :)

I have two kids at Goddard School, one for regular period and older one for after school since 14 months ago. i dont have complains, the staff is wonderfull from the owner to the teachers including the front office, if you have a need they try to solve it. they add regularly to the classes new games, puzzles, toys, new materials and a lot of imagination to create apropriate and adequate small or big handcraft to your childrens age. almost everyday you see something different, on the floor, on the wall, on the window, including pictures of your kids having different activities and getting multiple abilities. Is amazing how they share fellings and hope to who needs and is not only on thanksgiving period. i do highly recommend Goddard School.

It has been 7 months that my daughter has been enrolled with Goddard school on Eldridge. She was first in the Infant class and then in the Get set class.At first I was a little nervous for her adaptation because she didnt speak any english and it was her first time in a daycare. 7 months later I am totally convinced we did a great choice for our daughter.With his educational approach and the diversity of the activities this school allows all child to develop their natural curiosity, to develop at their own pace and to stay themselves .- I like the reporting system and the constant communication to the parent.- The school is secured, clean and well maintained. Flexible hours .- I think the management of this school is very open minded and modern .- The office staff is always polite, helpful and understanding . They have muchreassured me each time I had questions.- Thanks to the patience and the skills of the teatchers, my daugher developped special relationship with them and is almost fluent in english now.. She is always happy to go to school to see her teatchers and friends. And if you have a feedback to give, they are always receptive to hear it. They are doing a really great job.I am glad my daughter can learn in an international environment with friends of all nationalitie, in a school in which I totally trust.The only cons I would give is that they dont provide lunch, but you can easily deal with this.For all these reasons I will highly recommand this school.C.M

Dear Robert,It’s been more than 2 months that my daughter Siya Joshi has been enrolled with Goddard school and I thought to share some feedback about our experience so far about the school.I must say we made a correct decision by enrolling Siya in your school. I really like the periodic communications and weekly emails you are sending to us. I was quite impressed with the way your management handled the situation of a hoax call of suspicious activity in the Barbara Bush School recently and also the periodic fire drills you conduct. That is an indication of how seriously your management take things aimed at children’s safety.Siya also has been enjoying her time in the class and under the guidance of Ms. Vanessa (pls pardon me if I miss-spelt her) and Ms. Tara.Siya has developed a special bonding with Ms. Vanessa, hence I would appreciate if you pass on my big THANK YOU and a note of heartfelt appreciation to her. She is doing a great job!!I would also like to appreciate your management skills, without which this is not possible.In a nutshell, it’s been a pleasure to be associated with Goddard School and I appreciate everything that you and your team do to provide your best services to your students and their parents.

Tried to inquire about tuition, and was told that I could not be told the price over the phone. Just that I could schedule a tour. Why would I waste my time with a tour if I dont know the price? That is just ridiculous to me.
