We have been Goddard School of Magnolia parents for four years now. Our experience overall has been positive due to the hard-working, amazing teachers that have loved and guided our kids from the beginning. The highlights of our experience started on Day 1 when Ms. Lozado took our sweet, shy son four years ago and showed him how fun and amazing school could be. With her sweet manner, he THRIVED and came out of his shell more and more every day. As our oldest moved up classrooms, he has been mentored by numerous staff members that always give a fist bump and high-five every time they see him in the hallways. I want to single out the Dartmouth classroom as the place our son grew academically by learning from Ms. Cahill, Ms. Jenn, and Ms. Hannah. Those women are angels on earth! Now entering his final classroom before "big boy school" he has a blast every day with Ms. Nichole and Ms. Kaylie in Cornell. Our youngest now attends Goddard as well. He's quickly learning and gets so much out of each day in his classroom with Ms. Lisa, Ms. Brooke, and Ms. Nikoletta. Those kind ladies have their hands full and make the most out of each day. Another shout-out to Ms. Emilee. She's the floating STEAM teacher, and my kids have been honored to work with and learn from her. They talk all the time about her super cool science experiments. Another area that The Goddard School deserves recognition is the way they communicated and navigated throughout Covid. During an uncertain time, we appreciated the constant disinfecting and the use of a 3rd party company to thoroughly disinfect the entire school multiple times every week. We are happy with the level of education our kids have received and are confident they are getting a head start as they begin their academic journey. read more

This note is to address Cindy G.'s false criticism. I remember you & your daughter picking up your granddaughter in the toddler's room. This is a great school! My son has been potty trained, and is speaking clearly since joining the school. The teachers are hand picked and the owners are beyond reproach - 1 is extremely sweet, & always onsite and other a US Army Combat veteran, and West Point Grad is cordial & caring. I am very happy that you are no longer a part of this amazing school's extended family, but feel sad for your granddaughter. My wife and I watched you ridicule the staff, and go out of your way to torment them. The staff and the onsite owner went out of their way to address your needs, but your nastiness and disregard of them as a human beings was noted by us and other parents. We, a collective parent group, at multiple points asked the owner to remove you, but she and her staff did the right thing, & tried working with you, and your randomness in parenting, and belligerent mannerisms. Since you have left, we have learned from staff that you & your daughter failed to pay for the services over the course of 2 months prior to being asked to leave, and that is still outstanding & owed to them. This is beyond sad - at least pay your dues, or suggest you get a life and focus on your daughter and granddaughter. All other schools and care takers out there - be very concerned about Cindy G. and her daughter. read more

We couldn't love Goddard more! The teachers here pour their hearts into these kids, and it shows every single day. Ms. Sarkany has a magical way of keeping a room full of busy little minds engaged and happy. She creates such a calm, inviting space where kids thrive. Ms. Cahill, the lead teacher of Dartmouth, is phenomenal. She's always thinking ahead, making learning engaging and fun--like moving story time outside to enjoy the weather. Her passion for early education is palpable! Ms. Nichole (Cornell) is a rockstar! She further sparked my oldest's love for science last year, and now my little guy gets to experience her energy and creativity every afternoon. He absolutely adores her! Ms. Taylor is the kindest soul--she makes every child feel special, seen, and valued. Ms. Robinson is like a warm hug--comforting, loving, and hilarious. My son loved being her little helper, and we cherished the stories she shared about his day. Ms. Katherine is pure sunshine! Even though she's never been my son's direct teacher, she showers him with love, teaches him Spanish, and makes the school feel like home. Ms. Rebecca is a gem--warm, knowledgeable, and always so kind to my boys. She makes them feel safe and seen. Every single one of these teachers makes a lasting impact, and we are beyond grateful for them! If you're looking for a place where your child will be loved, challenged, and encouraged every day, Goddard is it. read more

BEST PRE-SCHOOL/CHILDCARE ARE THERE IS!! My daughter absolutely loves this place. We moved daycares a couple years ago and she has been in love with this school since day one. She graduated from their pre-K2 program last May and is a 3 year attendee in their summer camp program. She greatly enjoys the field trips and the immersive activities that the school has to offer. She loves how the weeks have different themes, and the accessibility that she has to ask questions to learn about new things. Whenever I come to pick her up, she never wants to leave. The staff are amazing, especially the new hires- it is amazing to see young faces so interested and determined to make our children feel so loved and happy. The admin/front desk/owner are the kindest sweetest souls you ever meet. I have never found/heard or seen of a school/childcare center that cares so much about the family and child. My daughter loved her pre-k teachers Mrs. Cahill and Mrs. Jen. If I could rate this place more than 5 stars, I would. Keep up the amazing work!! read more

Our daughter has been attending Goddard of Magnolia for over a year & a half. I couldn't be happier with this preschool. It's been my greatest joy seeing my toddler thrive. I love picking her up each day knowing she had a blast learning. We recently enrolled our 4 month old baby girl, and the love & care she receives is out of this world. I have peace of mind knowing the teachers at this school truly care for children, and do their best each day with a smile on their face. I want the teachers to know the pictures & videos are truly my highlights of my day! Shout out to Ms. Jolene, Ms. Julie, Ms. Salazar, Ms. Becca, Ms. Mia, Ms. Paola, Ms. Tania, Ms. Lozada, Ms. Katherine, Ms. Kyra, & Ms. Cortney. Thank you for all that you do!! Another thank you to the school Chef Ms. Mary for cooking for the kids!! read more

Daycare recommendation: The Goddard School (Magnolia) Our family HIGHLY recommends The Goddard School in Magnolia off of 1488. We've been there for almost 2 years - two girls, 5yo and almost 2yo. They are in the "Yale" class and the "Cornell" class. They offer 3 teachers in each class, the front desk staff is beyond pleasant, communication is great, and my daughters are LOVED and have FUN! Last but not least they are LEARNING soo much everyday. My 5yo is beyond ready for Kinder in the fall, all in thanks to her teachers! As working parents, all we ask is for our kiddos to be loved, stay safe, and have fun - Goddard exceeds those expectations daily! Huge kudos to Mrs. Nichole, Ms. Kayle, Ms. Emily, Mrs. Taylor, Ms. Jolene, Ms. Kyra, Ms. Rebecca, and everyone else there! read more

We absolutely love the staff that work so hard each morning into the afternoon. My son goes into brown in the morning I don't remember her name but never fails to greet Ezekiel and I every morning thank you for those good morning they go along way ! My son is in Harvard and Miss Shiloh and Miss Lesli are great teachers and definitely can't thank them enough for all the do day in and day out . They reassure me on how my son's progression is each and every day . Another big win for me is the app called Tadpole I'm able to see the things my son is doing thought the day and knowing that he's learning and having a good time . The staff in the mornings coming in and leaving for the day are always welcoming and that is so much appreciated. Thank you ladies for all you do . read more

We don't normally partake in solicited reviews, but we will go with it because the teachers at the Goddard School of Magnolia are the heart and soul of the school and deserve everything! Ms. Salazar, Ms. Joanna, Ms. Kelsie, Ms. Debra, Ms. Mia, Ms. Becca R., Ms. Jolene, and Ms. Linda are all absolute gems with infants of all stages. Our crazy toddler wholeheartedly adores Ms. Taylor, Ms. Kyra, Ms. Becca, Ms. Brooke, Ms. Lisa D, Ms. Nicki, Ms. Emilee, and Ms. Cailey. All of these ladies have been true treasures for us and we're so thankful for all their love and hard work. Ms. Mary the chef is also amazing at her job, but also at loving and protecting our kiddos. Very thankful for her too! read more

10 out of 10 would recommend the Goddard School at Magnolia! My youngest enrolled at 3 months and I can't get enough of all the pictures and updates I get of her throughout the day. I know that Ms Salazar and Ms Joana, at UPenn, are taking great care of my baby and giving her enough activities for her development. My oldest is in Dartmouth and absolutely loves attending every day. She talks daily about Ms Cahill, Ms Jenn, and Ms Hanna. When she's at home she'll play pretend that she's in daycare reading books for the class. Even Ms Yáñez, who is in charge of making the food for the students, makes sure my oldest feels comfortable when she's having a bad day. Everyone is family. read more

I can't say enough about this school. My kids are in their after school program they started doing field trips this summer. They had a blast going back and forth to the water park and to the movies and learning special things at different companies like HEB and 7 acre woods. My kids have so much fun there. They also had different in-house field trips including a magician reptile expo and a dentist office to teach the kids. Every week they have Kona ice free for the kids on Thursday. Wednesdays they have water day at the school along with their field trip water days they do. My kids will be going there as long as they're allowed. I love it. read more

The Goddard School has been our second home/second family for over 2 years. My husband and I could not get through life without the staff and teachers there! The way they love our kids as their own is something I can't thank them enough for! They are "our village"! Our daughter has been Yale, and she is currently in Harvard! Luke has been in Upenn, and he is currently in Princeton! **Shout out to Ms. Taylor, Ms. Hiller (as our daughter likes to say Miss HIWWER!), Ms. Shiloh, Ms. Adriana, Ms. Ariel, Ms. Mia, Ms. Emilwe, Ms. Becca, Ms. Jennifer (Ebbs), Ms. Abels, Ms. Juls, and Ms. Salazar!!!

The Goddard School of Magnolia is amazing! They have the best staff and teachers! Rebecca, Rushandra, Brenli, and Annie in Yale take such good care of my youngest son. And my older son has learned so much from Nicole, Claudia, and Jay-Mi in Cornell. I have to also give props to Mrs. Cahill and Ms. Jenn in Dartmouth for always being so kind to my boys. And Mrs. Ray, Mrs. Hiller, and Ms. Brooke in the front office work extremely hard on a daily basis while making it look easy. I highly recommend this school! read more

Our son has been at the Goddard school Magnolia for almost 2 years, and I am so impressed by how the teachers love our little boy. He loves his teachers in Columbia and I am so glad they keep me updated on his day. I love seeing his pictures and little videos throughout the day. They have been very accommodating to the various therapists and changes needed for our son with special needs. We are very happy with this school and would highly recommend it to anyone who's little one is starting daycare. read more

This school is amazing! They pay attention to every child. My daughter is in the 3's preschool and she counts in Spanish, knows all of her shapes, and clearly speaks in sentences and talks about who she played with. Ms. Simmons is so patient and works with my daughter to finalize potty training. The pictures and updates during the day are a plus! They have a curriculum and it is communicated in the app; therefore we go over the lessons learned when we are at home with her. Love this school! read more

A fantastic new school! Beautiful inside and out. Owner, directors and teachers are passionate about the education and the growth of the children. I love that they focus on science, engineering, technology, art and math! The communication between the management team and parents is amazing. They try their best to make the school a home away from home for all the kids and parents. They also offer an impressive meal service, with yummy food that is included in my tuition. read more
