"I just wanted to send a quick email to you to express how much we are loving Brady's new classroom! I have enjoyed getting to know all of your teachers in both of Brady's classrooms thus far and haven't had any issues with any of them. I have to say that Ms. Kathy just outshines them all. She is so wonderful with the kids! I watch how she interacts with them and am always very impressed."

"I just wanted to say how pleased we are with your Goddard School. Xander is having a wonderful time and we've seen a huge improvement in his attitude, cheerfulness and abilities. Most importantly, he's happy. He's so excited to go to 'big boy school' every day and he's made some really good friends already. His doctor asked him how much he liked his new school and Xander told him all about his new friends and the fire truck and the stories. I am so glad that we moved him when we did. It really helps me feel better that he's starting to get a real education and he seems to really enjoy reading time, which is really important to me. I personally think that enjoying reading and the ability to read quickly with comprehension is the only true path to knowledge. Thank you for having such a great school."

"Dear Paul and Helen, Andrea and all the Goddard School Staff.
I wanted to write you a note to let you know how we are doing here in Houston. We have settled into the house, I have started working and Kevin’s transfer was complete a few weeks ago. We are finally all in the same city!
We found a school for Keaton and Sutton which we are happy with. The school will provide them both an excellent educational foundation, I have no doubt. Keaton is slowly finding her niche there and Sutton is getting used to a new schedule in her life.
However, there is something missing from the school when you walk in the door. The school does not have your culture or your “energy”, for lack of a better word. We took for granted being greeted with high fives, fist bumps and hugs as we walk in the front door. We loved that our daughter was a part of your family, and you a part of ours. That is not the case with this school.
While I have no doubt Keaton and Sutton will get a good education and the teachers do care for them. However, the school just does not have the emotional connection that you have had to our daughter, and our family, the past two years. The education is important, of course, but the emotional is just as important and I wish I had your school here with us. You and your school, your teachers, your directors, everyone, truly became a part of lives and we did not realize how important that would be to us until it was no longer there.
So, thank you! Thank you for your dedication to not only the school as a business, but to the children. The love you have for the school and the kids is unmatched and forever appreciated. Thank you to your teachers who have the same love and dedication to the children that you have. Keaton got a fantastic education with you but she was also LOVED.
I hope this letter finds you and your family doing well. Please pass on our love and hellos to your family and all the teachers and staff. We will be in Austin as soon as we can get away and we will most certainly stop by!
Best wishes to you and yours!"
~ Keaton and Sutton's Parents
