About The Goddard School of Houston - Barker Cypress

The Goddard School Barker Cypress Academic Center

Led by the mother-daughter team of Maha and Sarah, this center combines over 30 years of parenting and professional educational experience. The program follows the proprietary Wonder of Learning curriculum, which encourages child-led exploration and inquiry-based discovery. Specialized classrooms range from infant care to a unique Bridge program designed for children who need extra support with social-emotional development or self-care before entering a formal preschool setting. The facility is designed with health and security in mind, featuring custom key-code entry and air filtration systems. Parents frequently praise the school for its cleanliness and the dedication of teachers who facilitate learning through activities like music with Fabian and hands-on science. With lunch and snacks provided, the program aims to offer a high-quality academic foundation that eases the transition into elementary school while supporting the logistics of busy families.

I love this place. It is well organized and put together. My boys have the best classroom teachers and love attending. I get notifications throughout the day of what they are learning. There is communication between the owner, director of education and the teachers along with the parents. They have apps to facilitate operations, to keep parents informed and to keep them involved. It warms my heart when I bring my boys to the school and they light up when they see their teachers and friends. Paige and Trish are amazing at keeping operations at the school running while still forming relationships with every child. My boys teachers have been the best, they truly love my children and I feel comfortable leaving them there. My boys come home with all types of knowledge and manners which helps support what I try to teach them at home. Curriculum is followed and I can see what is being taught with the daily classroom report I get everyday. It takes a village to raise a child and I am glad that this place has become part of my village.

This was the best choice for my family. My baby is very loved and I leave him everyday knowing that he is in good hands. They have great and inclusive activities to get the family involved too which is a great plus. Very clean environment. My baby always has a smile in his face when we pick him up and it’s eager to be there every morning. We specially love Ms. Mitra, Neda, Mary, Ms Rana and Ms Juliet. All have been amazing to my baby!!! Thank you very much. Also Ms. Page is the best 🩷

We absolutely love it here! We feel very confident leaving our boys here and knowing they will be taken care of. Our baby loves Ms.Rana and Ms. Juliet, he's so excited to see them in the morning. My toddler loves Ms.Chelsea, Mr. Carlos and Ms. Teresa's class. There is another teacher, Mr. Fabian, who goes to every class and sings songs to the kids while playing the guitar, the children love it! The teachers and staff are attentive, and really seem to care about our children. I can't recommend this daycare enough. So happy we moved our children here, I just wish we would have only attended this daycare.

The Goddard School at Barker Cypress has been an amazing experience for our family. We have been to two other daycare previously and they don't hold a candle to Goddard Barker Cypress. The staff are the warmest and most understanding individuals. I was going to list them all, but it would be every indivdWe couldn't have hand picked a better daytime family for our girls. If we ever have questions or if our kids need special attention, they are quick to respond and detailed in their response. We won't go anywhere else with our girls. Our oldest went to kindergarten this year and, while we are still doing before and after care, we were sad that she was leaving the Goddard family during the day. Seriously the best.
