I now present to educators across TX on social emotional skills in children. I'm saying this for two reasons- one, because my career has mad me EXTREMELY picky about who I trust my child with. And two- because I have witnessed good and bad teachers and facilities both as an educator AND a mom. My son goes to Goddard full time in the summer. I've been incredibly impressed by the staff's ability to be both professional and personable at the same time. My son has ADHD, along with a few gross motor delays- and can be a handful. His teachers understand what is developmentally appropriate behavior, and how to support his growth moving forward. This has been rare for us and is appreciated in educators working with my son. He is constantly engaged and happy when I pick him up. The teachers are always monitoring and engaged with the children when I arrive. And their photos are a treat! I'm not sure what the enrollment is like in the school year, but for my son, his class numbers seem really low. I am thankful to have found a place I trust my son to be in. I trust that he is not only physically cared for- but EMOTIONALLY as well. Thank you for loving my baby! Our family of forever grateful to you all!

When I was just a few months pregnant, I made a spreadsheet of local daycares in anticipation for…read moreenrolling my son after my maternity leave ended. After calling over a dozen daycares in the area, only two stood out as worthy of a visit. Our visit at the first daycare was fine enough, but after we left the second daycare - The Goddard School - I immediately drove home and filled out the paperwork to get my still-in-utero son enrolled. I haven't had a single regret since my son started as a 3-month-old. He's 22 months now and can count to 10, name basic shapes and colors, and make sounds for countless animals. He cleans up like a champ and says please and thank you. He loves books and spends most of his time at home reading. I won't give Goddard ALL the credit - I do some things as his parent, of course - but it's a relief knowing that they're teaching him the same concepts and reenforcing the manners we practice at home. Like many daycares nowadays, they do send out updates on each child's day via an app, so at the end of the day I can see what my son ate, how long he napped, when his diaper was changed, the activities he participated in, and a few photos of what he did. And I love that they teach community involvement by participating in programs such as Fill The Bus and the ACO Food Drive. They also have monthly Parents' Night Out and frequent cookouts and festivals. The school is always clean and one of the two owners are on-site the entire time the school is open. I recommend them to everyone!

Not one adult was try to help her feel better, nor talking to her & one of the care takers said,"she's just sad because her parents left." She literally looked like she was in timeout because of her crying. When you care for children, you are there for them no matter what/ no matter how many times you need to try. Taking care of children requires a special gift. They need our help constantly. 2. I picked up my son & I immediately saw his face was red, running nose & extremely hot. My son is able to speak & he told me he didn't feel good. I did not receive one phone call about my son. As a child care taker you should be more aware. Checking children constantly to make sure everything's okay. You could clearly tell something was wrong with him just by his nose running, redness on skin & just standing there like a statue. That clearly shows me that those adults don't pay close enough attention to catch something like that & my son was there for hours. He said he had been feeling that way since nap time (1pm, I picked him up around 5pm). This place of business needs way better discernment & wisdom when it comes to hiring the adults to care for children.

I wish I had read Yelp reviews before sending my infant here, I had no idea other moms experienced…read moresimilar things to our experience here. I hope by sharing my experience it can help others make a decision. I can only speak to the infant care here. I chose to send my baby here based on the tour I took, Google reviews and convenience of location. Unfortunately I withdrew her after only one month because of the quality of care. On the tour I was told she would have her own crib for naps, and be given a curriculum for activities but since the beginning of being here, she and other babies are left in the loungers or swings if they fall asleep. I was told they get fussy if they are picked up and eventually I gave in because I didn't want her to be treated differently. Only one time did I witness on the poor quality cameras that she was put to do tummy time for a few minutes. Otherwise it was just a rotation between floor mat, skip hop, lounger (where she spent most of her time) and swing until it was time for bottles and diaper changes. My husband would drop her off in the mornings and on multiple occasions they were playing country music, or other music not geared towards children. The staff did not greet him by name and he was told to "just leave her on the mat" upon drop off. They merge the classrooms before the teacher arrives which isn't until 9 or 10am on some days and at that point have 8 babies and it appears they are always overwhelmed. I would say 1 star Is for the infant teachers empathy and kind demeanor. She was the only person I felt comfortable with. I knew we had to make a change when my mother visited and told me that babies are left to cry for long periods of time. The director did reach out after my mom made her opinion known, and it appeared they were making efforts to change. It was too little and too late for us but I do hope they do this for the sake of the other babies. Fortunately my husband works from home and considered watching her until I talked to other moms and came across many other daycares with superior care. Now my baby girl is thriving in her current daycare. She has done more activities in one day then the entire time she was at Kids r Kids. They play kids songs, read books, take her outside, give her options for teethers, sit her up to look in the mirror, do artwork with the babies, sensory toys, and I could go on. The curriculum is posted and I am able to see what she is going to do on a weekly basis. Not only are there better cameras but I also receive multiple videos and photos during the day and I receive personal updates on how she is doing. She is put in a sleep sack and in a crib for every nap and comes home happy and not fussy like before. I hope this helps other moms and can stir a change for the better.

My…read moreBIGGEST CONCERN is that as a mother I don't believe a man changing a 2 year old girl diaper is acceptable especially without communicating with the parents. I have spoken with some parents and have came in conclusion that we were manipulated because initially we were told he was the music teacher and months later he transitioned into changing little girls diapers secretly. This has been a traumatic situation on all aspects. For me personally, I teach my daughter that no man should be down there meanwhile unknowingly a man has been changing her diaper in which her DAD doesn't even do... not to mention...The Director/ staff failed to notify the parents such as myself of these changes and under no circumstances should it be tolerated despite their lack of staff or excuses. Although this school is under investigation, this review is to shed light where there is darkness. Please don't take this review as a angry parent venting but rather take it from a safety perspective. This school gets new staff often but do not teach the staff to verify the parent before handing off children, my husband has had the wrong child brought to his vehicle and have addressed the importance of verifying parents before giving away children. If sanitation is a factor please understand that this school allows kids to share binkys (pacifiers) and bring them home. Although, some parents might be ok with their child sharing them I feel that it should be communicated. The lesson I learned from this was - Just because you are paying more doesn't mean you are getting the best. *Good luck .. please keep searching *
