The Goddard School of Austin

"My son (2 now) loves going here! It's every parents' most ideal situation; the entirety of the staff interacts with you and your child to make everyone feel heard, valued, and safe. They always keep us 100% informed and they genuinely care. You can't manufacture that and you can't fake it. I was a first time mom putting my baby who was just shy of 4 months in a new school and they made it so effortless and helped to guide us along the way . Seriously cannot recommend this location enough! You will not find a more nurturing staff. We love Goddard! Watts family"

"We have two kids that have gone to Goddard on Frate Barker Rd. since 2017 and we love them! They are always so kind and will address any need that you have. We highly reccommend to any parents, they really are great for our children's development."

"Our experience at Goddard has been amazing. The teachers and staff are raising our kids and loving them day in and day out. Communication is top-notch. Pick up and drop off is secure and easy. They even handled a global pandemic with very few shutdowns. Parent Night Out is a nice bonus! What else could we ask for?"

"It is hard to know what to expect from a school if you are new to schools. We just assumed the Goddard School was like all schools…but it is not. We know this now since we quit the Goddard School and started with another one about 3 miles away and have had a totally different experience. Just know that the Goddard School infant room is chaos. One of the ladies was always so flustered. Babies always, always, always crying. Bright florescent lights on constantly. Music playing all of the time. Babies just laying around on the floor. 5 month old babies “holding bottles” and “feeding” themselves. Babies in the cribs crying and not being soothed in any way. Pacifiers overused. Babies sitting looking at a mirror on the wall crying. No one ever looked happy there! Our baby was miserable and always red and swollen and voice was hoarse from crying all day. It was awful. We are so happy now that we are no longer there. My co-worker’s baby had the exact same negative experience and I tried to push it out of my mind but…Trust your intuition! The Goddard School did not feel right and it was not right."

"Goddard School has been amazing for my son. Before Goddard, he was home with me for 2.5 years. Transitioning him to daycare would be hard but Goddard staff really helped me and kept encouraging me that it would get easier as time went on. Now, my son loves his teachers and friends and looks forward to going to daycare to learn! I can't thank Goddard enough for all they have done for me and my son! Moments we both will cherish forever!"
