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.

After calling multiple…read moretimes and leaving a message, I finally stopped by in person last year, and was told to leave my name and number and someone would call me with information regarding a class. I never heard from anyone at the dance studio. I called again today to get information regarding a class and the woman "Amy", answering the phone was clueless about the classes or the dance schedule the studio offered. She said she would take down my name and number and someone would call me back. I said no thank you, as I am still waiting for someone to call me back from last year regarding the same class information. This is really sad, as I grew up in New Braunfels and I live just down the street in Gruene. I would like to support local businesses, but not this one. Very disappointing.

The entire staff is very well trained and impeccably professional as well as very personable. I am a senior age student but swimming at a beginner level. The curriculum is based on mastery of sequential swimming skills. However there is flexibility to meet the individuals personal swimming goals. Teaching safe water skills is a priority. I've taken swimming lessons before taught by teenage lifeguard, with limited success. This experience is at a whole new level.

We toured the facility in July and were told the wait was up to 3 months, that current teachers had…read moretheir kids there and that they had priority on the waitlist (understandable). However, they would all be moving up soon and therefore there would be openings in all the classes. We submitted a non-refundable waitlist fee of $150 (for 2 kids) on July 9th because we would be moving to Kyle in Jan. Since they never followed up I emailed them on December 8th and was told my younger child was 3rd on the list. I followed up again on Jan 12th and was told that he was now at the top of the list. I called twice in February and once again 2 weeks ago. We had to put the kids in other daycares. I called today and was told that the waitlist is longer than what I was quoted and there were people that have been on the list for 2 years. Overall not a good experience, the building is dated, and the yard is dry and bleak. The (residential) front doors can hardly be considered secure. When you enter the first thing you see is a glass wall with sun beat baby toys. If you want a daycare that will follow up and update you on the waitlist, or even return phone calls, just know it is not their policy to do so unless you are at the point of enrollment.

My youngest started in her classroom earlier this year, and this time around, we had the pleasure of having her helper, Ms. Vita! They both light up when we walk in every morning and I genuinely feel like my children are loved by them in a way that I will always cherish and appreciate. 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. Ms. Monica has also been a bright spot in my kids days, and I am excited for my youngest to transition to her care soon.

I COULD HAVE WALKED OUT WITH ANY ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN....AND ALL BECAUSE I WAS DRESSED LIKE A STEPFORD WIFE. My spouse and I made an appointment to come and view the school. He took time off of work and we headed in at our selected time. We walked up to the school and piggyback in. Was not buzzed in. No one greeted us. We just walked in. We then sat there for 10 minutes and that's when a kitchen lady came out, and told us that the principal or lady who does all of the tours, was 45 minutes late. So we just sat there. Then I said to my spouse "You know what...I want to see something". I got up and walked around. No one said anything or asked me who I was. Another 10 minutes had passed and no one said anything. So I walked to where all the children were playing outside. They're corralled like animals in a fenced in playground, with about 50 plus kids of all ages in there. I opened the doors and stood there. I stood there for 30 minutes and no one said anything to me. The two younger girls (staff members) were on their phones chatting.....and I purposely stood right next to them to see if they'd say anything to me. NOTHING!!! Sooooo I turned around and went to find my spouse and told him. I said "this is not the school for us". Then the lady walked in who was supposed to give us the tour. She was all apologetic and I told her of the SECURITY BREACH, and she said she'd take care of it. Then she proceeded to show us around the school. Mainly the rooms for the 2.5 year olds. We went in and you're hit in the face with a URINE AND POOP SMELL. I just looked at my spouse. It smelt like a dirty animal control place, where they put 100's of unneutered stray cats. It was just gross. We were polite and finished the tour, but sincerely should have just left when she was a no-show. THIS PLACE IS SCARY UNSAFE!!! AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.....GO AHEAD AND WASTE YOUR TIME. CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF. PS-To the staff and principal of the school...who will most likely write a response to this review......SHAME ON YOU!!! And I hope Child Protective Services pays you a visit. I will not change my review. I was appalled and your place is unsafe, unsanitary and disgusting.

It was like a night and…read moreday difference from the last daycare we were at as far as the quality of attention our son receives from not only his teachers but the staff as well. We absolutely LOVE his teachers, Ms. Hailey and Ms. Storm, and the way they love on my little guy. They pay attention to the little things and it's a blessing to not have to sit at work and worry if your kid is in good hands. My son started here when he was 13 months and then we moved to the Kid Ranch's San Marcos location when he was 18 months. I love how clean they keep the building and the classrooms, how they pray with my child before meals, the artwork they do each day and best of all the app they use to keep us parents in the communication loop. It makes my day to get a picture of my son over the app during my work day, watching him play during splash days. The teachers here are happy and strong role models for the kids. The administrative staff is always available for questions from me and my husband, both at drop off and pick up. We're going to deeply miss the Kyle location as we move to San Marcos but we're confident that whatever the future holds for Kid Ranch in Kyle, it will be a good one.

Worst part was that the directing assistant only told the parent about this in passing.

The problem was not addressed appropriately and that is why I would not suggest this daycare to anyone
