The Goddard School

There are a lot of things I like, but most importantly I like that the curriculum is «Play» based, and I love the staff. I feel really good leaving my daughter there every day, and that is far and away the most important thing!

My kiddo was at Goddard Centennial for about a year and a half. The teachers are very caring and we noticed very little churn in the staff. The owners/​directors are welcoming and great to work with. We feel she is ready for kindergarten and appreciate the friendliness of this preschool facility.

Our son went to Goddard at Centennial for about 2 years. We loved, the owner Abbey, as well as the director of the Annex. Communication with the parents was impecable. The first day he was there, they sent us an e-​mail updating us on how he was doing with the transition. They even sent out a touch base email when Cherry Creek Schools was on lock down after the incident at Arapahoe High School.
The only downfall is that when our son started Preschool at the local Elementary School, they did not have a bus to pick up up/​drop him off.(why he stopped going) But, I know most children continue to go to the Preschool at Goddard so that system was mostly not needed.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking amazing childcare with caring, steady teacher base.

My children have gone here for two years and we have overall enjoyed the experience.
Pros:
Warm, friendly staff
My kids love it
The gym is awesome
Structured atmosphere
I love the daily e-​mails I get with pictures
Everyone knows my kids names — which makes me think they all care about them
I’m glad they automatically charge my credit card every month (may be small — but I never have to worry about it!)
Cute activities
Parents night out hosted monthly
I get reminder e-​mails or text messages about activities (pajama day, splash day) so I don’t have to be the forgetful parent
Good security
Weather permitting, they go outside every day
Cons:
A lot of turnover
Not having a kitchen doesn’t allow the best snacks and it would be nice if I didn’t have to pack lunches every day
It seems like there are a lot of kids in the class. THEY DO MEET REQUIREMENTS but they have two teachers in a room, so more kids are in one room. It seems hectic whenever I walk in
Not a lot of chances to meet other parents outside of drop-​off/​pick-​up
I do feel like my kids gets sick a lot, but I’m not sure this would be any different in any other child care facility.
We have had a great experience and I feel like our kids have learned a lot and really enjoy being there. That makes it a lot easier for me to send them!

I called yesterday to ask about an opening at the school for my 14 month old son and the owner of the school answered, she met with me an hour later. She explained everything since this is my first child and my first experience with daycare. She was amazing. She answered all my questions, showed me around and educated me better than all the other schools/​daycare I visited recently. I was sold on her/​her teachers and the school immediately. My wife and I were impressed and signed up on the spot. My son started today and I couldn’t be happier. Great school Louie :-)
I totally recommend this school.

Just wanted to write a quick review. My son started Goddard School this morning and we couldn’t be happier. The owner is awesome.

We love this preschool. The curriculum is amazing, the staff and teachers are warm and dedicated. They truly love the kids and work so hard to create a warm, fun environment. My son is just flourishing under their care, learning so much while having a great time. Could not be happier.
