We are so grateful for the wonderful learning environment you've provided at Goddard. I love how responsive all of the staff is. The kiddos love going to school and we can see through the pictures, that they enjoy the activities. I love how varied the curriculum is integrating things like yoga, art, music, connection to the community, etc.

"The school takes a holistic approach to our child's developmental need. Their curriculums are age appropriate focusing on letters, numbers, art and encourages creativity. The teachers are approachable. Above all- my child is excited to go to school everyday and has a smiling face when in school."

The admin and teachers at Goddard Leander are amazing! Very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Our daughter has thrived at Goddard and we are so thankful for this school and all the new and different things she has been able to learn and be a part of.

What a great experience we have had at Goddard - the teachers and staff truly care about each child and go above and beyond to make learning fun! My kiddo knows the order of the planets at 4 years old! She is now re-teaching me cool stuff that I've forgotten over the years.

We love the Goddard school in Leander! We’ve been at 3 different preschools with our kids over the course of 7 years in the Leander area, and this one we feel has had the best quality of care in our experience.

We don’t have family in the region, so child care is a must. It’s extremely important to us that when we drop off our daughter at daycare, we know she is safe, happy, and cared for. We’re very grateful and relieved that Goddard delivers all of that. We started our daughter at Goddard at six months, she is now two. Every teacher she’s had has been phenomenal. The owners, Alissa and Mike Harritt are genuinely kind and caring people. The directors and front office staff is top notch, organized and communicative. It’s a blessing to know that we’re paying for high quality child care.

Our daughter was enrolled at a previous school. We weren't completely thrilled so we were potentially looking at schools that could give her a spot for the new school year. But we weren't going to move her unless we could get her into a new place. I received a phone call to come in and to tour the school and was informed they are waitlisted and won't have space. On that call, I mentioned that maybe it's best I just skip since we're only trying to move if we can get in her somewhere, not just to waitlist. They said no please come in and tour, it's very likely we can get her in after I mentioned I wasn't going to tour then. I toured the school. It appeared nice; kids looked happy. After speaking with the owner for a bit she kept mentioning there's people on her waitlist that have been ghosting her multiple attempts to enroll and it's very likely she will get in. "just give her a few days". We regretfully signed up my daughter on the waitlist and signed up my son for after school care that wouldn't start until the fall school year begin. Well days became weeks and still nothing. I attempted to contact the school to try to get some information on what was happening. The first day I the phones weren't working. I was later able to contact the Assistant Director who was unable to provide me any information or help me whatsoever. Not sure how an Assistant Director can't provide any information on what is going on with the status of my daughter if you're the Assistant Director. I explained other schools have openings and I need to know what is going on with my daughter being the fact it was basically 'duped' to us that she would get it. They would not provide me any information. We ended up having to enroll in another school because I can't take the risk of not getting in when they have space because another school is unable to provide me information. Eventually they reached out the following week and was like yeah, you're SOL and this is good feedback for the future that we should provide communication. LOL what? We said forget it and disenrolled our son for after care well over a month before anything was supposed to start. In the end my family and I are out $900 and my kids never even seen the place. I honestly don't even think they situation we were told about was true and they just lied/duped us to make it seem like she would get in and took our money. I understand paying a deposit. Everyone does it. Although Goddard is certainly the highest, I've ever seen. It's nearly double the Preps and Primrose. What is terrible is the about half of the $900 is for other 'fees, future enrollment, supplies" etc. whatever they want to call it. Besides the deposit, the rest of that money should be returned to us. My kids never even went to the school and disenrolled week above months' notice. I hope they enjoyed our $900 and making us feel duped to think we'd even get it in. If you tour the school, do not sign up unless you have a spot.

What an incredible experience we have had at Goddard Leander! Our three children go here and we couldn’t be more pleased with the way our teachers have invested and cared for them. They go above and beyond in their roles and care for the growth and development of their students. The Owner is extremely communicative and accommodating and the office staff provides so many opportunities to be involved. Our children are happy and enjoy going to school every single day which makes being working parents a little bit easier! The teachers care so much and we haven’t had a poor experience or interaction with anyone at Goddard. Finally, I am so confident in my oldest child’s preparedness for Kindergarten. These teachers make learning fun and seamless and I am impressed by it daily! I couldn’t recommend this school enough.

Our daughters have attended several locations of The Goddard School. We've had fantastic experiences at each one, but the Leander location where they currently attend has been outstanding overall. The best thing in my opinion is the organization, planning, and thought that goes into every aspect. For what I would consider a larger school, every part feels so smooth and well-run! Consistency and care has built a community where the teachers are generally happy, and the kids are excited and engaged. There seems to be a shared appreciation amongst the parents for the positive experience and peace of mind that The Goddard School consistently upholds.

An absolutely wonderful school with amazing owners, directors, teachers, and staff. Our daughter was loved and cared for beyond measure for many years and left very well prepared to start Kindergarten.
