Review №1

We just wrapped up 6 years and two kids in Goddard City Park. We got on the waitlist in 2013 with our first child 5 months before our due date, we are so glad we did. Our second child just finished up here and will move on to our neighborhood school next year. When we were looking at all the childcare options for two working parents in central Denver, Goddard City Park was the obvious choice. We found no other programs that provided the love, safely, environment, schedule or professionalism that this program did. Throughout our experience, we felt lucky to get our kids into this school. The staff was always welcoming to both of our children and they never felt anything but love and security. The quality of the early childhood education is top notch and all the teachers are professional and engaged. However, the last year during the pandemic, they have been truly remarkable. We saw the administration and staff of Goddard City Park step up in an extraordinary way during COVID. They were able to quickly adjust procedures and policies that allowed families to continue with their lives and careers. The staff was nothing short of heroic during this time. They continued to have happy, loving and positive attitudes every day at drop off which was essential for the kids. They stepped up and knocked it out of the park with daily communication on what was going on with the school as they navigated this new pandemic world. We are not aware of any other program of this quality. We enthusiastically recommend Goddard City Park West, they will always be part of our family. Go here if you can get in. Finally, keep in mind, the administrators of this location also run the Park Hill Goddard, we would feel just as confident at that location.

We recently moved to Denver and have enjoyed The Goddard School so far. The teachers are all incredibly nice and caring. The owners are on-site and very involved in the classrooms. The directors are wonderful to work with and have taken great care of us as a new family. The school is exceptionally clean and safe, and the building is brand new. They invest a lot in great, new toys, nutritious and healthy snacks, and fun activities and holiday events for the kids. I feel very comfortable leaving my children in their care - my oldest never wants to go home at the end of the day!

Our toddler son attends this Goddard School and we have been so pleased. The staff is friendly, attentive and caring. We love it here and so does our son. We pick him up every day and he is happy, laughing and energized. And we appreciate that they send photos throughout the day and detailed reports of what they do each day. The activities are always structured, educational and fun. We would highly recommend this facility.

Our daughter attend here from 6 month to 3 years until we moved out of state. The staff and management team are excellent and treated our kid like of their own. Its a great curriculum that has given our daughter a head start on her education. She is well ahead of other kids her age and she had a lot of fun at the school too. I highly recommend this location, everyone is so great to work with and they genuinely care for all of the kids so much. The school is also very clean and well organized.

My family tried to navigate childcare with our newborn son for the first 3 years of his life, with nannies, childcare services and babysitters. The ongoing anxiety and management of that approach made it clear for us that this was a failing strategy. While interviewing individuals for a full-time nanny position in our household after the arrival of our second little human, we found the Goddard. After 1 tour, we knew that this was the place for us. The flexibility of the drop-off and pick-up schedule, the friendliness of the staff, the curriculum, the ratios, and the simple feel of the school took me aback. I was a little overwhelmed with how comfortable it made me feel. When we had a nanny, it was terrific to have my son experience the zoo and the Childrens museum and be at home, but the social structure and interaction was absent. Not to mention that I never really knew where in the city my child was at any given time of the day. Now, we know exactly where our kids are, and what they are doing. We get daily reports of their activities. The educators are very communicative and engaged. The ownership is on-site and invested in the day-to-day operations. My recommendation for this school/ institution is absolute. They have been a blessing to our family and our kiddos.

After a terrible experience at a former daycare, we were thrilled to get our son enrolled here. Goddards teachers and staff work hard to teach children while having fun. When my son came home talking non-stop about his teachers at the school, I knew wed found the right spot. Aside from great people, the school itself is a wonderful environment. Clean, cheerful and ready for play and learning.

We have had an amazing experience at the Goddard School at City Park. My son is excited about learning and going to school every day. They tolerate his differences and look for ways to work with his unique style of learning. It has been a true partnership of parents and teachers/administrators to get the best possible outcomes for him.

We love Goddard City Park! Our daughter learns something new every day, and the staff is so friendly and engaged. We switched from another day care because our daughters teachers left to join the Goddard team, and they are amazing. They really take the time to know each child.

I cannot say enough good things about Goddard in City Park. My daughter started going there when she was one, and went through until she was 2.5. My son also went to Goddard in the infant room until we moved out of the neighborhood. The teachers at Goddard are wonderful and genuinely caring. Elizabeth, the owner, and Heather and Heather, the directors, did a great job always keeping us informed. Both my kids had very positive experiences and we were incredibly sad to leave the school after we moved. I would recommend Goddard in CPW to anyone.

I have attempted several times to reach the Goddard School. I have called several times, leaving voice mail messages each time with no call back. When that didnt work, I went directly to their website and sent an email request for information and contact. That didnt work either.My wife & I would love to consider the Vine St location for our upcoming childcare, however The Goddard School seems to have little interest in assisting.***As a follow up--a couple of days after my review (above), the owner of The Goddard School took time out of his day to locate me on LinkedIn and view my profile--yet still did not have the courtesy to contact me in regards to their lack of service.

We love Goddard. We currently have 2 children here, one in the infant room and one in the 3-4 year old classroom. We have been at this location since the opening of the school in 2013. We left our previous school because of concerns with teacher, family and head of school turnovers and have been very happy we did.One of the things I appreciate the most is that Goddard is obviously a national company and learning style, so each school has to meet the requirements & standards upheld by this. However, the schools are individually owned and operated which means the owners take a lot of pride and care in their schools. The Head of School isnt just someone hired for a job; they are the owner. I feel this is the biggest and greatest difference here.The owners are fantastic and care a lot of each family as well as all the teachers and staff. They are also very present and are there everyday when we drop off and pick up.My girls always want to go to school. My littlest one reaches out for her teachers every morning. We use the teachers as babysitters when we need them because we love and trust them so much. My 4 year old has never said she doesnt want to go to school in the almost 3 years we have been here.Head teachers here are required to have a Bachelors degree which is definitely not the case at all childcare facilities. A lot of the teachers have been there since the opening of the school. They are professional, personable and care for the kiddos in their classes.We get photos everyday of them interacting and learning which seems like a small thing, but is so appreciated.The cost is high as is almost any childcare these days, but we looked at a lot of different schools as well as nannies and the cost is comparable and by no means the most expensive place in town. We do get a discount for having two children attend.We plan to keep our girls here until the go to public kindergarten.

My daughter has gone here for 2 years. I toured a lot of schools and this was the only one that cared enough to even know her name at the tour.She adores all of the staff and as a former stay at home dad I felt at ease with her here and going back to work. They send us photos and videos of her having a great time and learning a ton throughout the day.Mrs Tricia is amazing and will be missed when Emma moves on to her ECE-8th grade school in August, as will the entire staff. Great school. Great people.
