A new location of the childcare education provider The Goddard School will open in the Bridgeland master-planned community around mid-2021, according to a Dec. 22 announcement from The Howard Hughes Corporation, the developer behind Bridgeland.

The 10,800-square-foot center will be located at 21722 Tuckerton Road, Cypress, near the Mason Road intersection. The center will cater to children ages six weeks through six years old with a comprehensive play-based program intended to prepare children for social and academic success.

The upcoming school will be owned by Sarah Prause, according to the Dec. 22 press release. Prause—who also runs another location of The Goddard School on Cypress North Houston Road—said she saw a need for a high-quality early childhood education program in the Bridgeland community.

“We are pleased to welcome The Goddard School to Bridgeland,” Heath Melton, executive vice president of master planned communities and residential for The Howard Hughes Corporation, said in a press release. “With an esteemed reputation in the early childhood education community, Goddard will join the other highly-rated educational programs in the area."

The Goddard School reaches more than 70,000 students in more than 550 schools across 38 states. www.goddardschool.com
