2026 UPDATE: Goddard continues to be an absolute blessing of a place to have our toddler at! He is now in the Preschool room and is so excited to go to school every day with Ms T, Ms Feli, and Ms Shobana. It’s so amazing to see his progression over time and how these teachers enrich the kids as they mature and develop. As our son grows though, his sweet relationship with Ms Elva continues on and he always loves stopping in to say hello to his old teacher. We love Goddard!
We've had our son at Goddard since the Infant Room and we couldn't be happier with our time here! Neither sets of grandparents live close-by so we definitely have been in need of a "village" which Goddard checks all the boxes for. We've had wonderful experiences with all teachers so far - from Ms Cynthia with the babies, Ms Cheryl and Alex with the 1-2 year olds, and now Ms Karleigh and Solimar in the Toddler room, we love them all! But a very special shoutout to Ms Elva who has given our son extra love in the mornings and evenings across different rooms - we're so excited to be in her room full time soon!! I can't recommend Goddard highly enough!

Shelby, your kind words about The Goddard School - League City are truly appreciated. We're proud to be your "village" and to have teachers like Ms Cynthia, Ms Cheryl, Alex, Ms Karleigh, Solimar, and especially Ms Elva, who provide a nurturing environment that fosters confidence and belonging. We're excited for your son to experience Ms Elva's room full time soon! We truly appreciate your support and are so glad to have you as part of our Goddard family. 💙

We love Ms. Elva and Ms, Solimar for our 2 year old twins! They have been such an amazing part of our girls lives. We appreciate this school so much and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to trust and feel heard. We love everyone from the front staff (Ms. Denna) to our amazing floater (Ms. Mary) everyone has loved our girls for years now. Our oldest is no longer there but she thrived with Ms. T and Ms. Ashley. I know im forgetting some names but all the employees have all been amazing and I cant recommend this school enough. Ive worked at daycares in the past and was VERY reluctant to put my 3 toddlers in but they have treated my girls so well. We miss Ms. Maria so much and I cant wait for her return! She is one of the sweetest teachers with so much patience 💗

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Goddard school! They truly are our family as we moved here from out of town with no family or help nearby. Our daughter started with Ms. Cheryl, Ms. Alex, Ms. Mary, & Ms. Ashley and we loved them all!! They were her first daycare teachers ever and helped us with the adjustment. She moved up to be with Ms. Karleigh and did great in her classroom. Now she’s with Ms. Solimar and Ms. Elva. They’ve helped us move forward with potty training and even helped get us back on track after we’ve had some setbacks from traveling. We love that they are teaching her Spanish! Our daughter (2.5) randomly came home one day and knew of the colors in English and Spanish.
We love saying hi to all of her old teachers as we walk down the hallway to her class each day and we also love that Ms. Ratna and Ms. Deena in the front office are there every day! They know all of the children by name. We also know and love Ms. Kelly with school-age kiddos. It’s so refreshing to not see really any staff turnover here; I know that’s not always the case!
Can’t recommend the Goddard school enough!

Absolutely love this preschool. The classes have a curriculum so it’s not just play all day. The entire staff are extremely helpful. Registration was effortless with Dena’s and Cindy’s assistance. The young toddlers teachers, Alex, Cheryl, and Mary are amazing teachers that nurture and foster curiosity. Mrs. Ashley and Elva greets the kids in the morning with hugs and smiles making them feel safe. So many good staff I can’t mention everyone but a few others that float and make my kids feel loved say from home is ms. T, solmiar, Kelley, Leila, and the teacher in the new class ms. Kayleigh.
