What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We absolutely adore the team at Goddard. Our daughter is 5 months old and she has the biggest grin when she sees any of her teachers or the faculty and staff. The team is communicative, friendly, and clearly care for my child. We love getting photo updates throughout the day of the learning activities she is engaging in. We couldn't be happier to bring her into school every day.
My daughter went to Goddard since she was 1 year old. We loved this place a lot. The teachers were very caring and nurturing , the place was very clean, friendly. My daughter didn’t want to leave it at all. She really loved being in her class. If you are looking for a place where you know for sure that your kid is having fun, taken care of and curriculum includes social, emotional and creative development - I highly recommend this place.
We absolutely love The Goddard School of Pflugerville! From our first exploration visit the owners (Mr. Ashok and Ms. Prasanthi) and staff there were extremely kind and patience in answering all of questions/concerns, what ended up entrusting our 6-month old daughter to the school there was seeing all of the smiles and happy faces of the children of each of the classes that we visit since one can say/claim a lot of things, but one can't fabricated positive feelings in children. From the moment we enrolled our child, we felt the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care from the entire team. The owners, teachers, and staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, and it's so clear that every decision they make is rooted in supporting each child's well-being and developmental growth. One of the things that stands out most is their dedication to nurturing children's natural curiosity. They create an environment where exploration and discovery are not just encouraged--they're celebrated. It's amazing to see how engaged the kids are every day, and as a parent, it's such a relief to know your child is in a place that values their individuality and creativity. We have to give a special shoutout to Ms. Yvette and Ms. Melva in the infant class. These two wonderful teachers are truly a gift. Their love, patience, and attentiveness shine through in everything they do. They're also professional task jugglers and should teach a masterclass on how to attend to multiple babies at the same time. For instance, Ms. Yvette is especially impressive with how seamlessly she handles task switching--whether she's feeding one baby or capturing a sweet moment of another, she never misses a beat. Ms. Melva on multiple occasion seamlessly feed multiple babies at the same time. It's remarkable how Ms. Melva and Ms. Yvette are able to juggle so many responsibilities while always staying present and cheerful with the kids. We can tell that this is not just another for-profit daycare/school, and that the owners as well as staff really do enjoy being around children, taking care of them, and supporting their growth and development. It's evident through Ms. Prasanthi and Mr. Ashok and the entire staff's interaction with every child that entered the school door, and it's most apparent through Ms. Prasanthi's ability to remember every child's name in the school as well as greeting them with a warm smile and little details about their lives. In short, we feel so lucky to have found The Goddard School of Pflugerville. It's more than just a daycare--it's a place where children are truly seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Highly recommend!
Ms. Dipti and Ms. Sofia are incredible with our son! They give him the individualized attention he needs in the classroom and make him feel special. He talks about them at home all the time. These women are truly making a positive impact on his education and social skills and we couldn't be more grateful!
I have had the absolute best experience with my kid here at Goddard. He fit into the school and felt loved by his teachers and the office staff basically immediately - picking him up on his first day, he acted like he’d always been there. I feel like he gets sick less often here than he has in previous schools too, which is a huge benefit. His language is exploding and he even enjoys walking into the school himself, something he never did previously (always wanted to be held and would cry at drop off with previous schools - not anymore!). The tuition is affordable and competitive with other schools in the area and many of the teachers have a LOT of experience (over 10 years). We are moving out of state so unfortunately, we have to pull him from the school after such a short amount of time here. I wish we could take Goddard with us and we, especially my son, are going to miss the school and everyone in it so so much.
