The Goddard School is the best school for families interested in Early Childhood Education, especially the Celina location. They go above and beyond childcare and help your child grow in so many ways. Prior to moving to Texas, my children attended Goddard since they started school. My older daughter started at 1 and went through pre-k. She is now ending her second grade reading at a 4th grade level. My younger daughter started at 6 months old and by 2, she knew all of her letters and their individual sounds. When we had to move, I was unable to get my younger one into childcare right away, and as I was not working, we ended up putting her in a small daycare last year. She is now 5 and in pre-k, and although the other school was not a bad school, they did not have the structure my feisty 5 year old needed. She was often getting in trouble and I was worried she would not be ready for a Kindergarten structure. With Celina Goddard recently opened, we opted to take the chance and switch back to the program we know and love. The transition was quite difficult for my daughter as she was leaving all of her friends, but the owner and directors (Smitha, Ashley, & Jackie) and the classroom teachers (Amber & Katie) were wonderfully helpful. After only a week, my daughter was excited to go to school again and thriving in the new environment. Everyday she comes home and tells me about something new she learned or an activity she did. I am confident she will be ready for Kindergarten in August, but sad she will have only a short time with such a wonderful staff.

We recently switched schools for our daughter because of location and couldn’t be happier. She had such an easy, smooth transition thanks to the amazing and friendly staff. The Goddard School does fun activities to facilitate learning and we get cute pictures daily. It is apparent that our little girl loves this school and so do we. We highly recommend The Goddard School of Celina!

We’ve been lucky in that our daughter has always stayed home with me or a relative for childcare, but she is nearing starting Kindergarten so I wanted to find a way to ease her into being away from home and in the care of others. While searching for half-day Pre-K programs, I found the Goddard School and they just happened to be opening their Celina location around the same time. I fell in love with their curriculum and ideology, so we enrolled. It’s only been a few weeks, but our daughter is in LOVE. She is SO excited to go to school each day, and has already asked me if she can attend more often. We get report cards each day to update us on what she’s been learning (along with pictures), and it’s eased this heavy mama’s heart to see her so engaged and enthusiastic about this new venture :D
