We loved our experience there so much, that this was a consideration of whether we should move to a different state. We did end up moving, but are very grateful for the incredible learning and fun our son enjoyed during his time there.He loved Ms Maria, Ms Jordan and Ms Jade and came home excited to tell us about his day. In addition to class learning, they also accommodated our questions/requests. The entire staff is kind, friendly and goes out of their way to help (like Anastasia talking to him in Russian to help him with initial separation anxiety).Highly recommend!

We have sent four kids here, ages 14 months - 5 years and all have had amazing experiences. They do a great job of academic teaching in addition to social and emotional development. Would highly recommend!

Our son had a wonderful experience at Goddard! He was in two different classrooms (moved up because he got older) and the teachers he had were patient and caring. The best review I can write is that my son adored both the staff and teachers and looked forward to going to school, especially for Splish Splash Fridays. As a parent, that’s the best you can ask for. They do arts and crafts, have a garden, and have a great play area for the different aged kids. The school communicates well with parents, both by email and via the Tadpoles app. My husband and I love seeing the pictures throughout the day and getting a report on how our little guy did that day (did he eat well? Nap well? It’s all there). We trust Goddard and highly recommend them!

We have been going to Goddard for almost 2 years, and we couldnt be happier. They over-communicate, I love the teachers, and they truly make you feel like youre the only family in the school. They are attentive with our child and I love how descriptive the lecture notes are. Its helpful for me, at home, to be able to know what our son is working on. This will be our last year at Goddard, as our son will move on to Kindergarten, but overall, they have been a joy and we will miss them!

Since starting at Goddard, my son has grown tremendously, not only regarding his education but socially and emotionally as well. He loves going to school every single day and can’t stop talking about it on the way home. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful. He, and we as parents, feel that he is eager and prepared to start Kindergarten thanks to his time spent at Goddard.

Our daughter has been going to Goddard since she was 18 months old and is now almost 4.5 years old. She has thrived in all areas. I attribute that to the wonderful teachers she has had over the years and the nurturing environment that is created. Weve been very lucky to have amazing staff in each of her classrooms. Our son will be attending Goddard as well next year and were excited to see his progression through the years too. The current management team of Erin, Crystal, and Laura are exceptional to work with; They treat our family like family! I encourage any of you to check out Goddard. I think youll be impressed with Erin, her team and the great team of teachers.

The Goddard School is a magical, inspiring place of love and learning. My theatre company has been performing at this school for many years and its been an honor and a pleasure. I cant say enough about the staff, students, and exceptional owner who truly cares about creating the perfect environment for her families and employees alike. Its so refreshing to connect with an outfit that has high standards, positive energy and commits to excellence no matter the challenge. YOU GUYS ROCK! Three cheers and a round of applause to a five star school!Sincerely, Mia SolePresident, Play-Ground Theatre Company Inc, Colorado

I have nothing but good things to say about the Goddard school and how dedicated the directors and staff are in making sure the children receive the very attention, care, and education. I happen to be close to several of the directors (Melissa and Erin, in particular) and I know how much time they put in to creating a structured learning environment that focuses on educating children in a happy and safe atmosphere. Often times, it is a tireless and thankless job where the efforts and dedication of the staff can easily go unnoticed. The staff at Goddard truly cares for the children and endlessly work to make it the very best school for each and every child they have the responsibility of caring for on a daily basis. When it comes to your children, you are always hopeful you are making the right decisions for them and I can say without hesitation that you cannot go wrong with Goddard. I see the commitment that is given to this school every single day!

The Goddard School on Emerson is such a bright, cheerful place where we feel so welcomed. The staff is very friendly and professional. When we walk into the building, our daughter is always greeted by name by all the staff that we meet. She enjoys going to school and has learned many new skills and concepts. The classrooms are well organized and stocked with many fun toys, books and learning materials. We feel that our daughter is getting the best of both worlds, playing with friends and learning so much at the same time! The school is set up so that each age group has clear learning objectives and a strong, child centered curriculum.

My son has been at The Goddard School at 1400 South Emerson since it opened in October, 2010. My daughter started recently at 3 months old in July. Both of my children have done well in the Goddard atmosphere. My son has thrived in his now, preschool classroom. His teachers are well-educated, compassionate, caring and creative. He has enjoyed a stable environment with very little turn-over of teachers. My daughter is happy when I drop her off and happy when I pick her up. She is definitely loved in the baby room! Thank you Goddard!

My daughter attended Goddard School on Emerson for 2 years. She thrived in the Pre-K classroom and always enjoyed going to school. Her teachers were excellent and I was impressed with the relatively low staff turn-over and what seemed like satisfied teacher staff. The administration always recognized me, even though I rarely did the drop-offs and pick-ups. Everyone at the school really cared about my daughter and our family, and we were very happy with our experience. The teachers made learning fun while providing a nurturing environment for my daughter to grow. I also loved that I could drop by anytime to visit, offer to do a presentation in the classroom, and bring treats for birthdays. Everything was very transparent and open.

We had our daughter at Goddard from 14 months until she was nearly 3 years old. We loved the school, the teachers, the daily structure and activities. We only left because we moved to a different city. Would absolutely recommend this school to anyone looking for a great place for school/daycare.

My family has been happy with the Goddard school for a long time. Both of my sons have gone here - both having had nothing but great experiences! Compassionate caring teachers, great learning experiences and wonderful parent support with helpful office staff are all the things that make this place great!When my first son transitioned to Kindergarten, I was told after his Kindergarten assessment that he was more than prepared. It was such a great feeling to know! It really just backed up all I had known all along about the Goddard school - that they care about my children and are there to help them succeed onto the next steps.As the pre-K graduation (yes - there is a ceremony!) date approaches for my second son through Goddard school - I cant help but look back at how many years we have been here and feel a little sad that we will be moving on... the relationships that are created here with the kids, teachers, staff and parents are special. It truly is a community of learning! Thank you so much for all you do!!!

I must start by saying that we absolutely love both of his teachers, Mr. Tucker and Miss Melissa. They are amazing educators and incredible people who dedicate themselves 110% to the children. Whether they are teaching number patterns in the classroom or initiating a dance party on (the much appreciated) parents night out, my sons teachers always make him feel like a valued member of the group. My son discovered right away that Mr. Tucker has the gift of listening and because of this he often talks of Mr. Tucker as someone at school who he is comfortable sharing his feelings with. Miss Melissa, on the other hand, seems to have the gift of clarity. Whenever my son tells me that he was confused or had a question about something at school, he says he likes the way Miss Melissa explains it “because then it was easy-peasy.”The Director Shannon, and the Assistant Director Erin have been amazing people to work with. They go above and beyond to ensure that every parent has the opportunity to participate in several events throughout the year, and are available every day for any sort of individual needs. Sloan, the owner, is also always available and can be found not just in the office, but at every event encouraging a sense of community within the school.From math, to Mandarin, to soccer; at The Goddard School of Denver my son is being exposed to a world of possibilities and every day his love for learning grows deeper. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Our oldest son experienced four Goddard classrooms before we moved out of state - each a new and exciting place for him to learn and play. He enjoyed each room as much as the next and thrived throughout. We were so confident with our Denver Goddard experience that we enrolled in the Goddard near our new home without interviewing other preschools! Curriculum, cleanliness and security are just three of the factors for which we rank Goddard a 3.

Our daughter attended Goddard school on Emerson from the age of 3 until she started Kindergarten. She had a great experience and really thrived. The teachers and staff were wonderful and supportive and I would recommend this school highly to other parents.

Horrible infant program. I pulled my daughter out after only a few months. The teachers came in dressed like they were going bar hopping, and always reeked of Red Bull and cigarettes. Definitely no love in the baby room; theyre just there for a paycheck. For the price you pay, I expect quality help, not some college drop-out. The carpet area was always dirty, and they would lay the babies on it. They didnt have parents take their shoes off, so the babies would lay on chunks of dirt and leaves tracked in from outside. I spoke with the director of the place, and she didnt care. They are just there for the money, not the kids.

Both of our daughters have been at Goddard since they were 1 year olds. Weve been extremely happy with the interdisciplinary nature of the activities - spanning from Mandarin, to art, to music, to outdoor playtime, etc. The quality of education is top tier - this became evident as our oldest entered elementary school and was ahead of the curve. The teachers, staff, and owners are all wonderful.

My son has been attending The Goddard School since he just turned one. He has been in two different classrooms and both classrooms have made him feel loved and at home. As a parent, especially one with an early childhood background, it is hard to find a place you can leave your child at during the day and not worry about him. Goddard is that place for us. His teachers are nurturing and he learns so much each day! He loves school. When I ask him if he wants to go to school in the morning he screams Yeahhhhhh. No better sign for me as a parent.

Two of my kids have gone here. Great communication, ultra professional, very low teacher to child ratio, and my kids learn loads! Best pre-school choice around!
