What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

We love the staff, teachers, and quality of the education our daughter is getting at Goddard.

Alexandria's Mother

Bridge Classroom

The staff goes above and beyond to make parents and our daughter feel safe and at home. The preparation done on monthly calendars and parent communications are above and beyond. I also appreciate the curriculum and extra activities offered at the school. It's a perfect mix of learning and play.

Emmie's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The low ratio of students to teacher has been great for us. Our little one cried every day at drop off at the prior daycare and she's much happier and is happy at drop offs now at Goddard. We've also seen an improvement of her saying please and thank you more often since we started at Goddard.

Alexandria's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Clean and professional environment- finally a place my son can thrive at!

Colin's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The Goddard school in Friendswood is awesome! They have a staff that cares, is very communicative, and overall friendly and helpful. The curriculum has grown out daughter’s communication and social skills exponentially. Our child doesn’t have a good day everyday, but the team at the school around her helps her through the day and she always wants to go back!

Rylan's Father

Toddler Classroom

Mrs. Nershana and her staff have been excellent to work with. They have brought 3 kids that were way behind in academics and behaviorally to kids nobody can recognize! They teach kids not only how to learn but help parents instill and reinforce listening, manners, empathy, and respect for adults and kids alike.
