They love your children like their own here. My daughter still talks about her teachers and the staff members who cared for her even though she no longer attends.

I can’t say enough great things about this amazing school. Both of my kids have gone to this school since birth and I am continually blown away by how much they learn on a daily basis! We haven’t had a teacher we don’t absolutely love, they are fabulous, passionate, and almost every teacher we have had has worked there for over a year if not longer.We have never had a problem that hasn’t been immediately resolved, the owner and director are always professional, compassionate, and kind, and their COVID response has been phenomenal. I know that when I send my kids to Goddard Aurora South they are getting the absolute best care there is!

I am so happy with this school. My son went to the Primrose of Saddle Rock for a few months before and was having a very hard time adjusting. He used to cry hysterically and throw a fit every morning and would cry even at pickup! We thought it was just separation anxiety, but I am so glad I decided to switch when a spot opened up at Goddard. He loves going here, took only a couple of weeks to adjust. Now he runs into the building and towards his classroom as soon as the door opens! Makes me so happy as a parent. Very thankful to Shannon and Brooke for making the experience so good and Miss Nora and Miss Arcelia for for ensuring that my child is cared for.

Worked here as a sub and it was horrible the girl i worked with had an attitude and was super bossy and will tell you every second what to do. Do not recommend. And the kids were all over the place.

As a former teacher, I have nothing but praise to give this school! My daughter started attending The Goddard School in August of 2015 in the preschool program (she is now in the Kindergarten Prep program), and her educational and social development has flourished. The curriculum of the school is top notch and diverse, and has allowed her to soar. The teachers consider the different developmental levels the children are at and individualize their instruction to fit the needs of each child. I have complete confidence that my daughter will be educationally and developmentally ready for kindergarten.The staff is also incredible! My children are always greeted with hugs and good mornings, and they leave with hugs and goodbyes. When my daughter is sick, she is completely upset because she misses being at school! Date nights are our favorite because my children get to “party at school” with their favorite staff members! The staff is always available and ready to help with any questions or concerns that we might have, and when an issue comes up it is dealt with promptly and with great care. It is clear that the staff truly enjoys working there and truly cares about our family and the other families that attend the school.Based on our experience, I would recommend this school to any of my friends and family. We look forward to our youngest starting her experience at The Goddard School!

We continue to be impressed by this school. My daughter gets so much out of the toddler curriculum. She enjoys the group work with the other children and she has even come home and taught us some yoga poses! All the teachers and staff are so caring and attentive. We love this school!

This school is very well managed by the owner and the director. It makes a huge difference when the owner is visibly involved and handles parents concerns seriously and quickly. The quality of the staff, facilities and equipment are one of the best in the area.Our son is a Goddard graduate. Right before kindergarten started, he passed all of the Kindergarten assessment tests with flying colors (One of the teachers said “He blew me away”), they actually ran out of time during the vocabulary and comprehension portion as only 10 words were required, but they had to go up to 30 words with him and only had to stop because the time was up! Now that he has been in school for about a month, it is evident how much our son has benefited from being a student at Goddard. As Goddard had kept its promise of making the kids 1st grade ready (With the want from a student and parents dedication of course). Although it’s a huge adjustment for our family (Due to the lack of the “Hardcore” curriculum were used to, and the awesome teaching skills of Ms. Shannon and Ms. Natalie. Even comparing to other Goddard schools in the metro area, as our co-workers had often said their Goddard schools dont do nearly as many activities (Graduation is the cutest). It is EVIDENT how awesome this Goddard school is.

We have been thrilled with our experience at this school. We came from 7 years with a Primrose School. It was so hard to leave, knowing the staff so well. I cannot say enough about how positive out experience has been with this Goddard School of Aurora. Every single person I have come into contact with has been extremely professional and so incredibly welcoming. The facility itself is immaculate and exudes a warm and creative environment for learning and play. The curriculum and consistency with which they follow it in the classroom has blown me away. The growth I have seen in my son in a very short time far exceeds what I was used to seeing from our previous school. The staff communication is fantastic. I truly feel that my son is in the best of care and set up for success as we prepare for school in a few short years. Excellent school!

My experience with the Goddard School has been outstanding. I have two children who have attended or are attending this school. I have no doubt about the safety and the caring provided. All of the staff seem to care about the children and truly enjoy their work. The learning environment exceeded my expectations. My daughter walked into her first day of kindergarten fearless, after being exposed to the type of activities she did at Goddard. Socially, she made good friends and learned a lot about a classroom. My younger child is enjoying a playful and loving environment provided by an excellent group of teachers. I would entrust my children to no other place and would highly recommend this school to others.

I want to express my gratitude to this Goddard School for the education that they gave my daughter. My daughter recently started kindergarten. We just had our first teacher conference. My daughter’s teacher stated that my daughter has a really strong background in EVERYTHING. She is showing confidence, eagerness to learn and is enjoying going to school.The transition from daycare to kindergarten was easy for her, because of the nurturing and encouraging environment at Goddard.I feel that her stay at Goddard has given her a heads start in learning, because Goddard made learning fun. I want to thank the owners and the teachers at this Goddard School for the great preparation you gave my daughter!!!!

We are grateful to this particular Goddard School! We have had our two children in three different Goddard schools (because we moved around) for most of the past five years. Happy with them all - but pleased with the reliability and overall friendliness of this particular Goddard School.Our oldest enters Kindergarten in August and is MORE than ready thanks in no small part to the Goddard School! Our youngest (2-1/2 y/o) benefits from the consistency in the routine and care.Thank you!

We have been absolutely thrilled with this school since enrolling our son in May. The entire staff has done a wonderful job at making us feel comfortable with our son being there all day long. The teachers challenge our child intellectually, and I have been absolutely amazed at what my son has learned since beginning. He started at the school 6 months ago not knowing how to write/read/count etc; he now knows how to write and read and count exceptionally well, and for a 4 year old I feel that is huge. This is way more than a day care, and I feel confident that he will be ready for Kindergarten because of the awesome teachers.

The Goddard School on Arapahoe road provides the best learning environment for my son. Being a first time mother I was extremely reluctant and nervous to put my son in daycare while I went back to work. However, the Goddard School reassured me that my son would be in the best hands and that I was more than welcome to call and/or stop by as many times as I wanted to check on him.I was both shocked and impressed to walk into the school on his first day and be greeted by name. The Goddard is a descent size school and for the directors to know the names of all the parents and children speaks to the pride they take in building relationships with their students and parents. Two years later I am still greeted with a friendly and welcoming face and smile.In the three classrooms my son has been in, I have not come across one teacher who I did not love. I am more than confident in their teaching abilities and the love they provide my son during the day. He loves going to school, which proves to me that it is a happy, safe environment.I wouldnt take my child any where else.

The Goddard School has been a great experience for our son. We started him out in the potty-training school after he told his mom that he didnt need to use the bathroom because, in his words, I look good in diapers. After the resounding success of his potty training, and after seeing how well he did with the rest of the kids, we decided to keep him in school as long as we could. Three days a week, and he is thriving. Couldnt recommend this enough! Love the school, love the staff even more!

Goddard was the MOST AMAZING school for our child. She attended the school from the time she was one year old to five years old. She now attends Coyote Hills, which is known for its high Academic Standards and Curriculum. Because of Goddard, our daughter was COMPLETELY prepared for Coyote Hills. She already knew the alphabet, her numbers, could read and write her name as well as many of the sight words. I volunteer in the classroom at Coyote Hills and can tell the VAST difference between kids who attended Goddard and those kids that did not. Goddard prepared my daughter for Kindergarten better than I could have ever asked for. She excelled at the work required and was far ahead of her classmates, as were the other Goddard students. This school is AWESOME Academically. I never knew how much until my daughter entered Kindergarten.

Our son Steven started at this school when he was only 6 weeks old, it has been such an amazing 5 1/2 years. We are so grateful for the footprints the teachers and the owners have left on our lives. They made us feel like our son was #1, (which of course we agreed, lol) and ensured he was always encouraged and challenged to grow. Each classroom throughout the years made such an incredible impact. Thank you Brooke, Travis and all the staff, we will be forever grateful on the fantastic start Steven had at your school!

We started our daughter at Goddard when she turned 1 which was a couple months after this Goddard location opened. Over the past 4.5 years we have watched both our daughter and Goddard grow and develop. She has now graduated and has moved onto Kindergarten. However, we are still with Goddard since we did not hesitate to enroll our son into the program when he was too much for Grandma to handle.The curriculum at Goddard is well rounded and my daughter flourished in their environment. We are happy to say that academically it was a wonderful transition into Kindergarten. We look forward to staying with them for the next 4.5 years while they mold our son into the wonderful and talented child they helped our daughter become. My highest praises to the Goddard staff and the owners, Brooke and Travis Wright.

Absolutely the best pre-school experience Ive ever seen and experienced. My husband and I have been to a few Montessoris in the past due to moving residence, and this is our first Goddard experience. The staff here is extremely warm, professional, motivated and engaged with the students and parents. The facility is new and clean, and the curriculum is top-notch. The culture Travis and Brooke have cultivated here is that of constant improvement, and seeking new ways to specifically address the needs of children. By profession Im a doctor of Pediatric Psychology, and this school gets my highest rating and recommendation to anyone seeking a place that will find and cultivate the best in your children.My only wish is that they went beyond Kindergarten because we would be very happy to pay for grade-school here.

The Goddard School has had such an amazing impact on our childrens lives and on our lives. We have been with The Goddard School since they opened their doors. We love the feeling of famly every time we walk in the door. Our children have grown and thrived under the style of teaching and the love of learning they instill. The beauty of Brooke, Travis and their entire staff is they are never satisfied and continue, each and every day, to find ways to improve their process. We will never forget our time with The Goddard School.

Brooke and Travis,I just wanted to send you an email because I grow more and more impressed with the Goddard School every day. I LOVE the new Tadpoles program. I enjoy getting the daily information via email with the added bonus of seeing pictures of the girls enjoying themselves at school.I am excited about all of the learning that is going on in the Elephants classroom. I LOVE that Isabelle gets to utilize the SmartBoard and have access to such neat technology. I never thought I would be in favor of a child in preschool getting homework, but it works! I enjoy practicing what Isabelle is learning and being part of her education.I am awestruck that so much of what you do is right on track, as it should be, for my girls emotional and educational development, especially since you have been only open five years. Talk about impressive. I cannot say enough glowing things about your school. I am one happy momma!I am so thankful that I stumbled upon your establishment because I have peace of mind that my girls are getting the very best start in their education. I only wish that we could attend Kindergarten there too.A big thank you to your welcoming, friendly staff and teachers. I think you are doing a fantastic job. I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into helping guide our youngest to becoming the very best they can be.Thanks again!

I am surprised by some of the older reviews, but we LOVE this Goddard School!! The owners/directors/teachers are all great and they really seem to care about providing a safe and educational environment for all the kids. Our son has been there since he was 3 months old, and it has been nothing but a POSITIVE experience for him and for us.

The Goddard school is NOT a daycare. It IS A FAMILY-RUN PRE-SCHOOL where learning and safety are the top priorities. Teachers have daily lesson-plans and goals and it is a warm and welcoming environment to both parents and children. As a High-school teacher myself, I believe THIS Goddard School is giving our children a great foundation for their following education. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I wanted to write this post to express my family’s thankfulness and gratitude to the Goddard School’s teachers and the owner who made our lives so much easier after a nightmarish experience with the Primrose School located on Gun Club. The teachers at the Goddard school on Arapahoe made all the difference in the world when the time came for my son to transition from the first three years spent at home with grandma to going into a classroom being surrounded with kids his age. We didn’t even feel any adjusting period, it was practically non-existent. Getting up in the morning and getting ready for school was so natural for our preschooler that caught us by surprise when after the first week he woke up one morning and told me “Mom, I can’t wait to go to school.” He comes from school dancing and whispering I love my teacher. Thank you Goddard School. You have our family’s vote for a school of choice, and we are comfortable recommending you to all the parents who care about the well-being and happiness of their kids. You know how to embrace the new kids on the block, how to comfort them and help them grow.

Our son went to the Goddard School from age 2-5. I seriously have nothing but good things to say. He learned so much, the teachers were great, and he had so much fun there. I feel it played a huge part in getting him ahead academically (he is almost 8 now). He skipped 2nd grade and is thriving in school. We miss Goddard!

My Kiddos love going to school! They love the teachers, activities and friends! Here is Pajama day!

Our kids love being at Goddard so much they dont want to come home half the time!!! It is very comforting as a parent to know your kids feel safe and are excited to be at their school.

Visiting this childcare was extremely awesome experience, sadly they didnt have availability for infant care. Providers look very caring.

Wonderful school, owners and experience!! Brooke, Travis, Shannon and Christy and all of the teachers we have worked with are so great with our child and family. This school has an open, loving, comfortable environment and we feel good every time we drop off our 4 year old. The curriculum has really prepared our daughter for kindergarten and there are always fun activities. The art gala and the recent graduation ceremony planned by the owners were great, family centric activities. We could not be happier with the Goddard education model but what really makes this place special are the people that work there. Ms. Kathy made the transition for our daughter from home to school a great experience. Our daughter still waves at Ms. Kathy every morning as she goes to her pre k class where Ms Lindsey and Ms Whitney have worked with her on social skills and preparing her for kindergarten. Overall, we recommend this school to anybody looking for a stable, nurturing, comforting, educational, safe and FUN environment!!

We have absolutely LOVED The Goddard School! Our son will start Kindergarten in the fall and he is more than ready. He started with Ms. Casey when he was 3, and we all loved her. He is now with the preschoolers in Ms. Amys class. Ms. Amy and Ms Kathy are SO great, they interact very well with the kids and develop great relationships with them. My son has so many things to tell me every day that he learned in school.My son loves saying Hi to Ms. Christy in the office every morning and evening, and anyone who knows her can tell that she loves working with children. It is the same for Ms. Shannon, the Director at the school, and for Brooke, whom I have been very impressed with.It is obvious just walking into the school that all the teachers are happy and love working with the kids. I appreciate their hard work and dedication to giving our children a safe, happy, and fun learning experience.Erin

Our son started at the Goddard School (this location) in March 2016. We toured several daycares (first-time parent syndrome) and the feeling we got from this school was unmatched by any other. First thing we noticed was how clean, welcoming and friendly the whole place is. Next, we were so welcomed by the owners, Travis and Brooke, who are always at the facility and genuinely care about the children and their parents. Then we met our teachers who have HEARTS OF GOLD! Ive always heard that daycares experience a ton of turnover with teachers, but the Goddard school has not been that way at all. We have had 3-4 different teachers since we started but they are all still at the Goddard school. Some received well deserved promotions, others have moved rooms and each time a new teacher has rotated in I was nervous because I loved the previous teacher so much - but it didnt matter because I end up loving each new teacher! I am so grateful for all of the things the Goddard school does for my child and I know he is in the best hands when I drop him off. If you are looking for a daycare, do yourself a favor and tour this place, you wont regret it!!

Goddard school in Aurora off Arapahoe is a fantastic school. They always have special events going on for the kids . Im so very lucky to find a school like this.

I currently have two kids enrolled at this location and can’t say enough good things about our experience. The staff is amazing!! Brooke and Travis (owners), Shannon (Director) and Christy (Asst. Director) have been great to work with. They are friendly, approachable and it’s easy to see how much they enjoy the kids. As for the teachers, they are top notch and do an outstanding job. Casey, Emma, Erin, Kendall, Jessica, Adal, Catherine and Melissa are just a few of the awesome teachers my kids have had the opportunity to learn from since they started at Goddard. They are accommodating, proactive and really seem excited to be a part of the kids development. My 2 year old loves going to school and is in no hurry to leave. She talks about her teachers at home and it’s been easy to see from the start how much they are learning from the curriculum. My son is only 8 months, but he’s all smiles when I drop him off and pick him up.We also had the unfortunate experience of learning how the teachers and staff respond in a crisis of sorts. My daughter had a febrile seizure at school just after her second birthday. The teachers did everything right and that’s not just my opinion, but the professional opinion of the paramedics and staff at the children’s hospital my daughter was taken to. They started CPR, called 911 and called us right away. One of the added benefits of this location, is it shares a roundabout with the police and fire station, :) so the paramedics were there in under 2 minutes. In addition to taking great care of my daughter, Shannon did a great job when she called me which couldn’t have been a fun call to make. The love and concern from all the teachers and staff were more than we could ask for. I would recommend this location to anyone!

Our son attended this Goddard school from about age 5 until kindergarten. This was his 6th pre-school is his young life and this was one of the best hes been to. We moved almost once a year for his first 5 years and ended up in new schools each time. Weve been in a Goddard school in Las Vegas, Oregon, and now here. We havent had a bad experience at any of them. Were now looking to get our twins into a pre-school and Goddard schools will be on the short list.

Great place our child loves it there!!

Good day everyone, As a parent of two (2) children, I can only speak about the facts. For starters, our son attended The Goddard School (TGS) and is now in the public school sector. He’s excelled in his classroom and at other realms of his development and I with confidence contribute a portion of his development to the excelling service we received from the TGS. Our daughter is now a prodigy of the same, as she presently attends at TGS, she too is excelling in a manner that leaves us speechless…yes, speechless. First, I can state that after reading the reviews (stunned by some), Mr. & Mrs. Wright are at the fore-front of every parent and infant/child’s best interest. I don’t see a money symbol in their persona, however, genuine love and love in what they do and provide. Second, the staff at the front desk is stellar. Mrs. Shannon (Director) has never let me/us down, stellar and amazing servitude spirit. Miss Christine is the Asst. Director and holds as much passion for the children as for the staff she and Miss. Shannon governs. Last but not least, Miss Casey, Miss Andrea and Miss? (Spanish Teacher, I’m sorry) who relieves Miss Casey at the end of her shift…are BEYOND STELLAR AND AMAZING. The fact that we leave are children at a second place of residence, (yes, our children’s second home) as they spend just about 1/3 of their present life at TGS should speak volume. My wife and I are both in the Medical field and we dedicate ourselves to saving lives. The Goddard School dedicates itself to saving the gift your child has and brings it to resurgence, as our eldest lost his at another day care facility. I can only PRAISE their commitment to the parents and more importantly…our legacy, our two precious children. Note: I can’t speak for the teachers. However, as far as turn-around for staff, this is true everywhere, teachers leave to further enhance their education or for other personal reasons, as I had some share with me in two different day care institutions. Once again, thank you Goddard School for your AMAZING SERVICES rendered. Respectfully, Mr. Elbert B.
