It is hard to know what to expect from a school if you are new to schools. We just assumed the…read moreGoddard 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.

We've had nothing but a positive experience sending our two boys to The Goddard School…read more We get along great with the teachers and staff and everyone really seems to care about childhood development. They are professional, warm, and always willing to provide additional guidance and support to us as new parents. The building and facilities feel safe, secure, and clean. This last year of global pandemic has presented the teachers and staff with so many unique challenges and they've navigated each one effectively and with grace. Deep down I know that these wonderful ladies do a much better job of taking care of my children all day than I could ever hope to do on my own. The curriculum always blows my mind and the best part is receiving photos of my kiddos throughout the day. My favorite photo was one of my son laying on the ground and painting a "fresco" onto some butcher paper taped to the bottom of a table. Seeing them learning and engaged always brings a smile to my face. Big thanks and love to all of you ladies for being there and helping us with the big and important job of raising our two sons.

We receive frequent updates throughout the days of the curriculum and activities he does, and love the art we receive when he comes home. We have experienced nothing but flexibility and genuine care and love for our son from the staff. Ms Daniela is always so communicative about him and I am so appreciative of the attention with which he has been cared for there. And the seasonal parties for parents to see the kids play are always such a treat!

My middle daughter started there 7+ years ago. They actually have four different play areas and inside gym and movement room. They also do a cool water sprinkler fun time during hot months.

My youngest started in her classroom earlier this year, and this time around, we had the pleasure of having her helper, Ms. Vita!

You hear horror stories about daycares, but I am blessed to leave mine every day feeling grateful for the hands that are taking care of them while I work.

Miss Lola is an exceptional head teacher who brings a warm comfort to the room everyday. She has taught my child new skills and she takes such thoughtful, devoted care of our little one. The assistant teachers are equally incredible. Miss Vita is always so happy and lights up every time she sees our child, which makes drop-offs so much easier and leaves no doubt in our minds about how much she cares. Along with Miss Liz, she helps create an environment that is safe, nurturing, and incredibly welcoming. It's never easy to leave your child with other people, and the first week was definitely difficult for me as a parent, but these women made the transition easy and I know my child is getting exceptional care from them. I will be sad when my child ages out of their classroom, but I am grateful for the care they have provided.

Guidepost Bee Cave has provided an amazing Montessori education to our two children, ages 3 and 10…read moremonths, for the last year. Given our children's ages, we have experience in the Nido, Toddler, and Children's House programs and would highly recommend all three. We have also attended the Westlake Guidepost location and have experience at two other daycares prior due to moving, so we feel we have a good breadth of experience from which to recommend Guidepost Bee Cave. The new head of school, Mike, who took over this summer, is nothing short of amazing. He has a young child himself and has an operational background that really shines in every aspect of quality and consistency at the school. Other reviews mention staff turnover, which I can confidently state is a challenge for every childcare center (certainly for all four we have attended). What makes Guidepost Bee Cave stand out in this area is 1) knowledge transfer about your child's unique needs 2) training of new guides 3) quick action to remediate challenging staff 4) transparent communications. These are all due to Mike's leadership and we have been amazed at the quality care our children receive as a result. The guides care so much about the children and frequently communicate observations through written notes, photos, and verbal check-ins at pickup and dropoff. Even the guides at the school who don't directly oversee our children know our children by name and always speak with them, even if our child is acting shy lol. We particularly appreciate Ms. Mackenzie, Ms. Alyssa, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Ashraf, Ms. Lekha, Ms. Christine, Ms. Debra and Ms. Shanice, but there are really too many wonderful guides to name. I highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to raise confident, independent little people in an environment where practical life skills are taught and "I can do it myself" is a mantra.

The infant classroom teachers Muss Marissa and Miss Diana sara really the best. They are so kind and you couldn't ask for better care for your little ones. Discovery Preschool teacher Ms. Ariel is wonderful. She's very patient and helped so much with potty training our kid. The previous Center Director Erica and Assistant Director Spencer were great and we choose this center based on first impressions from talking to them. However, a lot changed in the last couple of years with constant staff and management turnover that led to a severe lack of oversight at the facility. We made the difficult decision to leave due to this, but will always cherish the memories we made here and our son's first friends :)
