My daughter only stayed for a few months but she loved the school and so did I. Ms. T is a wonderful teacher and I could see the growth in my daughter's learning from this school. The owners and staff are also extremely nice and you can tell they care about the children.

We absolutely love the Goddard School - Pflugerville! Our daughter has been attending since 18 mos and is now three and our son since 3 mos and is now one. We love that there’s a curriculum for all ages and feel like our kids are advanced for their ages due to the weekly themes and projects that are done. We know our kids are safe as there are detailed daily reports, picture updates, and we received text messages throughout the day sometimes from the front office if one of them fell or some other type of accident. We found this specific location by chance as it was one of the only Goddards in the area with an opening in the young toddlers class at the time we were moving to the area from our of state. We couldn’t be more thankful that they had that opening and we have had such a wonderful experience thus far! Cannot recommend enough as the staff and teachers make us feel safe leaving our children in their care and our babies both feel loved and respected by their teachers.

0 STARS! My daughter started about two weeks ago, so we are fairly new. First issue is my daughter receives CCMS, I had ZERO parent fee .. however the school was very clear if I didn’t provide my routing and account number, my child couldn’t attend.. which was sketchy because THE GOVERNMENT PAYS DIRECTLY TO THE SCHOOL ON TIME, every time. Why do you need my personal banking information? Today when my mother went to dropped off, she was denied due to cut off time. I called the school JUST TO VERIFY AND GET CLARITY, and the MALE OWNER was so rude and disgustingly disrespectful . He wouldn’t let me get a single word in, he continuously talked over me, called me a LIAR for trying to get verification, and hung up on me multiple times. I called back requesting to speak with the wife and the MALE owner then goes forward to tell me “we don’t need your student or your money, this is your child’s last day” funny . Do you speak with any other of the parents like this? OR JUST THE BLACK ONES?!?I got very disrespectful after that, yes idc either! hmmm. I’ve never ever had any interaction with this MAN, I’ve only met the WIFE, which got on the line and of course sides with her husband. The whole conversation gave RACIST VIBES! I will GLADY take my child else where. DO NOT RECOMMEND. R U N

Even though it was only for a few short months, we’ve loved our time at Goddard. We are only leaving this location due to moving a little further away and the drive just not being manageable.Ms. Yvette, Ms. Stacey and Ms. Janice have made it so much easier to have our daughter in daycare for the first time. The constant photos of her smiling and thriving in the classroom have been such a joy to see. We truly will miss having her enrolled there.

We had a wonderful experience at The Goddard School of Pflugerville -- especially in the Pre-K classroom. Ms. T is one of the most exceptional teachers we've ever had; our children felt like family in her room and under her care.Also worth noting that the Goddard School's administration really takes the time to get to know families. We had complete confidence that our children were in excellent hands, top - down.Thank you!

For my kid its an awesome experience at Goddard school, We saw very good improvement after sending to Goddard school. Ms. Katy and Ms. Dipti Duo made my kid feel so much comfortable and interactive in the school. Owners are great and they listen to parent concerns.

I am very disappointed and saddened by Goddard School. It started off really well for both of our children but worsened and worsened over time, especially for our pre-school aged child. The school lost a lot of good teachers and administrators over time, which I know is not uncommon in schools. However, those who left told us how poorly they were being treated and how two-faced and dishonest the owners were. We encountered several problems over time including our children being left in soiled diapers, being bitten and physically hurt by other children in several ways, saying horrible things when they come home, and new problem behaviors they do not have anywhere else. As my children graduated from class to class, the teachers became less and less reliable, educated, trained, and prepared to take care of children. The last class my preschool aged child was in was completely out of control. Children were in full on physical fights when we went to drop off our child for his first day in his new class. When we told the administrative staff, they acknowledged that had trouble in this class with these teachers and said they are trying many things to resolve the issues. We were very concerned because the school asked us to move our child to this class about six weeks early because he was doing so well and so advanced in his last class. We asked what we can do to help, and they said nothing, that we were the parents they never worry about and would let us know if they need anything. Our child started getting hurt every day by other children and crying and not wanting to go to school. Then, he started fighting back and we got reports ourselves. We gave feedback about what works well at home, evidenced based practices, and recommendations from our pediatrician in order to remedy the issues. Our pediatrician explicitly stated the problem was with how the school was handing the situation. A week after sending an email with concerns and doctor recommendations, I received no response to the email, but was told my son was no longer welcome at the school. The reasoning they gave was that he went outside unattended with four other children when another child opened the door to go out. I am still in complete shock that my child is being blamed for the school and the teachers' lack of control, supervision, and care in the school. Not all of those children were asked to not return, including the child who opened the door. The school stated that my son tried opening the door previously. However, the school never once informed us of this safety issue verbally or written, even though they gave us countless other reports of things going on and we asked on a regular basis about anything we can do. Either they are lying that this happened before or they were negligent of informing us of a safety concern, either way not acceptable. The owner also treated us very disrespectfully when informing us about our child no longer being welcome there. I was interrupted repeatedly; it was clear he had no interest in my concerns. My child was treated like a monster when he was set up to fail by the school and the teachers and blamed when his safety was in danger by those entrusted to keep him safe. This is how they treat a family who is very actively involved, I can't imagine how others are treated there. I waited to write this review until I was able to give it much consideration and consultation with others. My children have been in a new school for about two months and are both thriving. We have had zero reports, zero incidents, and zero concerns for safety. Their new teachers and administration are kind, warm, and capable of managing a class and providing a nurturing environment. I only wish I would have moved my children sooner. They did me the biggest favor ever by asking my son to leave their school. I gave two stars instead of one because they do have a couple of teachers there for tiny children that are really good. Outside of that, I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere for the safety and well-being of your children.

You know I contemplated if I would rewrite my review but here I am. I thought this was a good daycare . The smiles, the good mornings from the owners and staff. It all started going downhill when I once explained how uncomfortable I was with the way they were potty training. I walked in and there were 2 dads I assume just standing there looking in the class because parents are not allowing inside but it was during the potty time. What upset me was that me a those 2 dads could see every child sitting on the pott, them getting up and pulling up their underwear. Yes , see their private parts. Of course I mentioned it and the Lady owner and got blew off. That's when I knew I should look around for another. Next issue I arrive to pick up my child and the parking lot was almost blocked by police officers and Cort née was in the middle of them looking very uncomfortable. I give my 30 day notice then but all of a sudden everything they already knew about my child became an issue things I told them about before enrollIng . After my 30 day notice the hello and smiles went away from the owners and I believe he was treated less important now because of him leaving. So one day they say he ran into the playground and it was a security issue and will be discharged, fine because that told me someone wasn't watching my child!!! So beware of those all too white teeth smiling at you from the lady owner because there's a knife ready to stab you in back also. Period

This school really prepares your child for elementary school. The school not only focuses on academics but also on 360-degree aspects of development. The staff is so friendly and pleasant which is a very important factor if you are sending your kid out there I love all the programs they have for kids and my son happily goes to school. Ms. Shirin Tehrani (Ms. T) is such an amazing teacher. She cares about my son's food, hygiene, behavior, learning, social interactions, and following instructions. I can see a significant change in my son's behavior after he joined Goddard and we are grateful for Ms. T's efforts!

My Child has been going to Goddard school Pflugerville since he was 2 yrs old and has learnt so much. We had problems getting him to talk earlier, but with the help of the school he has now caught up on his milestone. They helped with Potty training and so much more. He really enjoys going to school every morning. I would like to give a big shout out to his teachers Ms. Katy and Ms. Dipti they are Awesome!! He loves going to their class. They take really good care of their students.
