Best Childcare - Please Read

by brittanybeasley at Citysearch

I often wondered how I would word this review, but then I realized I needed to speak from the heart as finding this school has been the best thing that has happened to my son and my family. My son attended a previous daycare facility for over a year. About a month ago, we were told that the school was not a good fit for my son. I felt like a freight train had just run over me. Where was I going to put him? How would he understand the change? Is something wrong with my child? I think every mother out there can understand what it was like to hear those words. My son is three years old and is an absolute joy. He is a boy...and is three, so you can imagine at times we do have our hands full. The school he used to attend was very structured and when my son moved up to preschool, he didn't understand the "classroom" setting all day. He was only in there for 2 weeks before I was being told it wasn't a good fit. I immediately called The Goddard School of Cedar Park (as I had heard it was a great school) and was invited by Butch to tour the facility. Butch (the owner) welcomed me with very warm arms and I knew by looking around that my son would have the best care here. It has now been 4 weeks that my son has been at this school and I cannot express how much he loves it. It used to be a struggle every morning getting my son to his previous school, he was constantly crying. Now, my son wakes ME up and tells me he wants to go to school. It is such a nice change knowing that I can walk into the classroom and drop my son off without him latching onto my leg. I would literally have to unlock my sons arms from my legs at his previous school. Today, when I dropped my son off, he gave me a kiss and a hug and said "bye mommy". As I was walking out of the school, my eyes teared up because those two words made me so incredibly happy that my son has found his "niche" at The Goddard School of Cedar Park. Even as I write this now, my eyes are tearing up. I think every mom out there can understand how important it is to find the best care possible for our children; I found that care at The Goddard School of Cedar Park. I will always be grateful to my son's teachers and to Butch and Maria for creating a loving, fun environment for my son. If you are looking for not just good care, but exceptional, please, from one parent to another, go see The Goddard School of Cedar Park.

Cedar Park's Best Childcare

by Heleanaw at Citysearch

This is the most amazing child care facility my child has ever attended. The teaching staff are amazing in that they show real affection for each child. The first thing I noticed when we walked in the doors on our first visit, was how organized, friendly and clean it was. My son had Ms. Kaci, and I have to say that she made a real life lasting impact on my son. My son would cry at the end of the day, because it was time to go home. He didn't want to leave Goddard, Ms. Kaci and his friends. That right there, told me that we were in the right place.

• Pros: Amazing Teachers, Facility and Cleanliness
• Cons: No afterschool care, yet....

EXCELLENT School and Instruction

by krtroy at Citysearch

I have toured this school and is is the cleanest, most sanitary, and most well-kept daycare or pre-school I have found. The teachers actually have degrees in education (unlike almost all other pre-schools that hire young kids and non-degreed staff) and the student-to-teacher ratios are very low. In addition, the owner (Butch Aggen) has a Master's Degree in education and has actually worked in school administration - so he understands the learning needs of children first-hand! The building is new and well-maintained and the school itself has monthly 'themes' that the learning activities center around, complete with educational guests such as UT professors, NASA personnel, and others that you wouldn't expect and won't EVER find at any other pre-school! If you want your child to be in a SAFE and well-managed LEARNING environment that they will get something out of - THIS IS THE PLACE TO ENROLL THEM!

• Pros: Extremely sanitary, degreed & educated staff, class ratios
• Cons: None Known

My son loves his school: The Goddard School

by dxu at Citysearch

We moved to Austin couple of months ago, and my son started to attend the Goddard School at Cedar Park.

He is very happy to go to school every day, and comes back telling me the fun things he did in the day. His daily routines include lots of musics, moving, jumping, fun stories, and science projects.

• Pros: Loving teachers, clean and safe environment
