As a single full-time working mom, I had a really hard time getting used to the idea of sending my son to a full-time school at such a young age. But I can honestly and truly say that he has blossomed there. His language and social skills have developed so much. He's in the Saplings class and loves talking about all of his little friends and teachers when he's at home. My absolute favorite thing about farm school is how they spend so much time outdoors. My son comes home tired and dirty and talks about his "nature walks". I love that it's play-based, and that they don't send home dozens of art projects per month. I love the all-natural materials, the wooden toys, and the home environment in a center setting. My son helps make lunches, wash dishes, clean up the tables, sweeps. And the ANIMALS! He's always raving about the goats and the bunnies and the cat. It's just such a wonderful, loving preschool. And the food for the young kids is vegetarian, organic, local, and seems to be quite tasty. I can't recommend this school enough.

Our experience with Good Earth Farm School has been outstanding. The staff genuinely care about the…read morekids, and it shows in how attentive, organized, and consistent they are every single day. The attention to detail--from communication with parents to the learning environment--is far better than what we've seen elsewhere. On top of that, their rates are competitive without cutting corners on quality. It's rare to find a preschool that balances great people, strong structure, and fair pricing this well.

I am providing a five-star review for the following reasons:…read more1. The curriculum provided at the daycare and kindergarten levels is all appropriate and engaging for the children. The children will learn, albeit at their own pace, but they will learn. 2. No peer violence, only violence prevention exists in this school. This school provides effective communication for students. 3. The school provides meals to accommodate all nutritional guidelines issued to them by the parents. Not many schools will accommodate such requests. 4. The exterior view of the school is inviting and well maintained. Students are happy to engage with each other inside and outside of the school. 5. No school is perfect, and this school recognizes this truth. I do think a school will always be a work in progress, and I am sure this school will continue to extend its very best efforts to ensure the wellbeing of all of its students.

I do not leave negative reviews lightly, but after our experience, I feel it's important to share…read moreour concerns for other families considering this daycare. There were only two teachers during our time there who consistently provided the level of care and professionalism I expected: DaLynn and Chloe. They were kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about the children. Unfortunately, they were the exception rather than the rule. One of my biggest concerns was that my son's emergency seizure medication was lost or misplaced while in the daycare's care. As a parent of a child with a medical condition, this is simply unacceptable and could have had serious consequences. For the cost of both regular childcare and the summer camp program, I expected a much higher standard of care and organization. Instead, there were frequent staffing issues that appeared to stem from poor employee management and retention. My son was constantly moved from room to room with very little consistency, making it difficult for him to establish routines and relationships with his teachers. Because of the lack of adequate staffing, my 4-year-old was repeatedly placed in a classroom with 2-year-olds. Over time, I noticed this negatively impacted his behavior and even caused regression in his potty training. I was also disappointed by the lack of any structured educational curriculum. Most days seemed to consist primarily of "free play," with very little evidence of age-appropriate learning activities or intentional instruction. For the tuition being charged, I expected an environment that actively supported children's educational and developmental growth. Safety was another major concern. The front desk was frequently unattended during drop-off and pick-up times, and I regularly observed exterior doors being propped open, creating an environment that did not feel secure. There was also a documented incident during our time there in which a teacher forgot about and left a young child outside unattended. Texas Child Care Regulation contacted our family because my son was in the same classroom, making this incident especially concerning. The most alarming incident for my own family occurred when my mother was able to pick up my son for the first time without being asked for identification or being recognized by staff. Knowing that someone unfamiliar to the daycare could leave with my child without proper verification was deeply concerning. Every parent deserves to feel confident that their child is safe, well cared for, and in an environment that supports their growth and development. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. While I am grateful for the care DaLynn and Chloe provided, the repeated concerns regarding safety, staffing, consistency, lack of educational structure, organization, and overall quality of care ultimately led us to make the decision to leave.

We will miss the teachers, Jordan, Tanya, and Indu tremendously but will be forever grateful for the care and instruction they have provided to our family. In our current culture, where educational systems are pressured to meet the ridiculous and non age appropriate academic standards, it was non negotiable that our child was able to be a child. He has plenty of time to be pressured. The Montessori Work provides the true school readiness at my child's pace. Increasing his focus, self regulation, intentionality, task completion, and an understanding of the world around him. Not the rote memorization of letters and numbers that are as meaningless as us memorizing Mandarin characters when done inappropriately. There is definitely the introduction of these objectives, but they aren't pushed on the students who aren't socially ready to absorb the content. The teachers follow the student lead and support their academic readiness when students show the signs that they are ready. Kindly and appropriately challenging students by meeting them where they are at. I could write a novel about how this school has supported my child's social/emotional and academic well being. I will leave it with the fact that I have been in early education and public K-12 education for nearly 20 years. We need more schools like Young Minds who truly tend to student social, emotional, and academic readiness to inspire the foundation of life long love of learning.

First off, my daughter is a heart baby, which 1) made me nervous to send her to daycare and 2) means that she has certain special needs, especially with nutrition. It didn't take long after we started going for me to feel completely comfortable that she gets the care and attention she needs at Goddard. I love the line of communication and familiarity I have with her teachers. I love that she is excited when she goes into her classroom and is happy when I pick her up in the afternoon. Everyone at Goddard, from the owners, to directors, to the teachers are very personable. We always walk in to a "hello" in the morning and a "bye bye" to our daughter in the afternoons. Furthermore, I love that I can see my daughter learning. They have a wonderful curriculum and fun events - even in the infant classroom! They send pictures throughout the day and a detailed report at the end of the day. We really do feel blessed to have found the Goddard School in Leander and highly recommend it.

Our daughter was enrolled at a previous school. We weren't completely thrilled so we were…read morepotentially looking at schools that could give her a spot for the new school year. But we weren't going to move her unless we could get her into a new place. I received a phone call to come in and to tour the school and was informed they are waitlisted and won't have space. On that call, I mentioned that maybe it's best I just skip since we're only trying to move if we can get in her somewhere, not just to waitlist. They said no please come in and tour, it's very likely we can get her in after I mentioned I wasn't going to tour then. I toured the school. It appeared nice; kids looked happy. After speaking with the owner for a bit she kept mentioning there's people on her waitlist that have been ghosting her multiple attempts to enroll and it's very likely she will get in. "just give her a few days". We regretfully signed up my daughter on the waitlist and signed up my son for after school care that wouldn't start until the fall school year begin. Well days became weeks and still nothing. I attempted to contact the school to try to get some information on what was happening. The first day I the phones weren't working. I was later able to contact the Assistant Director who was unable to provide me any information or help me whatsoever. Not sure how an Assistant Director can't provide any information on what is going on with the status of my daughter if you're the Assistant Director. I explained other schools have openings and I need to know what is going on with my daughter being the fact it was basically 'duped' to us that she would get it. They would not provide me any information. We ended up having to enroll in another school because I can't take the risk of not getting in when they have space because another school is unable to provide me information. Eventually they reached out the following week and was like yeah, you're SOL and this is good feedback for the future that we should provide communication. LOL what? We said forget it and disenrolled our son for after care well over a month before anything was supposed to start. In the end my family and I are out $900 and my kids never even seen the place. I honestly don't even think they situation we were told about was true and they just lied/duped us to make it seem like she would get in and took our money. I understand paying a deposit. Everyone does it. Although Goddard is certainly the highest, I've ever seen. It's nearly double the Preps and Primrose. What is terrible is the about half of the $900 is for other 'fees, future enrollment, supplies" etc. whatever they want to call it. Besides the deposit, the rest of that money should be returned to us. My kids never even went to the school and disenrolled week above months' notice. I hope they enjoyed our $900 and making us feel duped to think we'd even get it in. If you tour the school, do not sign up unless you have a spot.

So far we've had nothing but great experiences here. I feel like they treat my daughter well (or…read moreshe'd tell me. She doesn't hold back lol).
