Austin Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • We have had the best experience, from day 1. The entire staff is incredible.

    Tilden's Father

  • The tenure of the teachers. They truly care about their students and know them by name. The amount of feedback we receive as parents, whether it's about the health or safety of my child, Goddard doesn't shy from sharing even when it's tough.
