I cannot say enough good things about Goddard Park Hill. From day one, Heather (the director) has…read morebeen incredible -- she went above and beyond to help us get our youngest daughter a spot when we had a long commute to another daycare across town. This is the third daycare we've tried between our two daughters, and the difference here is night and day. The other centers were fine -- our kids were safe and had their basic needs met -- but we never felt truly welcomed. At Goddard, every teacher & staff member greets us with genuine warmth and a smile, every single day. It's clear they pay close attention to our daughter -- they notice the little things, celebrate her milestones, and care for her as if she were their own. We feel like part of a real community rather than just a drop-off and pick-up. We've been blown away by the level of care, communication, and joy that fills this school every day. I can't imagine a better environment for our daughter to grow and thrive. I'd recommend Goddard (and Heather's amazing team!) to any parent in a heartbeat.

We really wanted to be at Goddard for the long term, that's what made our experience most…read moredisappointing. We had made the switch from another school for our daughter after receiving subpar care. We were excited to hear that Goddard had tenured teachers and a positive environment. This changed three months in when our daughter's teacher left and a replacement was not immediately found. Within that month, our daughter had a concussion under odd circumstances and we were encouraged to sign a document testifying to the circumstances that we now regret. Let alone she had the concussion in the morning and were not told about it until we picked her up. We were told that our medical expenses would be taken care of and that the owner wanted to speak with us. The latter never happened and the former was referred to the insurer. The fact that I sit here six months later and only now have been made whole should speak to how taken care of we felt. The issues did not end when the teaching position was filled. We were confounded to hear that my daughter was being put in time out (something we were told did not happen and something we do not agree with). When we asked why, we were told she was copying other kids and getting close to an external door. When we were asked by the teacher for an alternative to timeout, the teacher seemed offended that we actually had an idea of what they could do differently. This didn't end that form of punishment as our daughter was put in a corner for having a cold less than a month later. Our child's teacher was often late and were left to guess where to drop our child off. When she was there in the morning she often smelled like cigarettes. People's personal choices are their own, but don't take them into my three year old's school life. We were unsure what my daughter actually was learning. Goddard sends you a weekly curriculum that is supposed to be followed by teachers to a T. When we were asked to bring in objects for that week's lesson our teacher seemed confused and unsure of what to do with them. That made us quite concerned that our daughter's time was being wasted. In the cutthroat world of Denver childcare, I understand why some folks will continue to send their children to Goddard Park Hill, but I hope this final anecdote will make you think twice. Our daughter's demeanor and behavior has improved drastically at home since leaving Goddard. We will never look back and regret our decision to move her out of that school.

Also saw a worker kick a pillow next to an infants head. Saw multiple workers just chilling not interacting with children or even seeming to monitor them. They do not seem to use Montessori principles though they claim they do. This is truly a daycare - I didn't see any learning going on. Overall for what you'd pay to go here there are so many better options. Please look around before deciding on this place.

When we called their number, it was sent to voicemail and we left a message telling them we were out front ready for the tour. From the outside looking into the foyer we could see a calendar on the wall noting that they would be closed the day of our appointment. I understand that mistakes happen and things can be inadvertently overlooked, but I find it to be a glaring red flag that no one has yet to reach out to us. I think that speaks to the overall lack of accountability, communication, and organization of this facility. RE: Owner's Reply The apology is appreciated, however, the lack of accountability and organization is even more apparent now. My wife received multiple text reminders - up to the morning of the tour, confirming the appointment. Trying to shift the blame to us to discredit this review is more telling than any tour experience.

One day I dropped my child and he hold my leg and started crying and didn't let me go... So, I don't know what did you do to him, but I saw some marks on his hands, yes.

Did you hit him??? Did you pinch him? You are so rude and dirty place, not for kids, you are overpriced.

On the recommendation of a coworker, I toured and was amazed at the quality of care they give here. My oldest began attending at 13 months, and just recently started kindergarten. His brothers have been attending since 7 months and are now 2 years old. They will attend until they begin kindergarten, as well. Our experience here has been nothing short of wonderful. All the staff knows us by name, even teachers who don't have my kiddos in their rooms. I know my kids are safe and well-taken care of. They love being dropped off and greet their teachers with big hugs every morning. All the staff loves on each and every kid like they are their own, and the curriculum - WOW! My oldest is already reading and performing at 1-2nd grade levels in math & science. Both my 2 year olds (JUST turned 2!) know their shapes, colors, letters - and one of my twins can count to 17 already. The teachers here TEACH - they aren't just watching your kids. We've loved this place and plan to have my oldest return for summer camp, and the twins will stay until they are ready for elementary.

I could write an entire book on why I would recommend this school, but I will try to "summarize" as…read moremuch as possible. Our Son went to Goddard from 12 weeks old until he was almost 18 months. We left Goddard only because we choose to move to a new state to be closer to family. This team was more than daycare providers they were advocates, friends and supporters for us during our time at the school. Our son started as an infant and we had no idea what we would experience over our time at Goddard. While at the school our son was diagnosed with a rare condition that causes him to be legally blind as well as being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. For a parent with a child with special needs you have a fear that your child will be treated differently, or poorly because it maybe more difficult to care for him. This school not only ensure we didn't have that fear while he was there but they were a huge advocate for what he needed. His teachers in the beginning brought up concerns or thing they were seeing to see if we were also seeing the same thing at home. They were actively engaged with his Development, and were constantly asking what they could be doing in the classroom to help him. Our doctors were always complementing how supportive the school was on his development and reminding us that not everyone is like that. For us, this staff was a god sent in a very difficult time. The staff shared in the highs and lows. This team was and is not just simply a daycare, they were family. Along the way it was not easy and we had to work together to find solutions, but we always did. I miss dropping our son off there everyday. He was so very happy at the school. Everyday he would get a big smile on his face and so excited to go to his class. He very rarely cried when I left him, but if he did by the time I walked away he was done. He LOVED his ladies and we did also. If you are looking for a school to support your child through their development you have found your school. I am VERY critical person and they exceeded my expectations ever step of the way.

However. The current leadership is unfortunate, inexperienced, and unprofessional. The Director and Assistant Directors were unsupportive of my family directly and were very manipulative and two-faced in how they handled the situation with us personally. They threw other staff under the bus when confronted about mishandling the situation. I have since heard stories that are of concern about how they are conducting things that seem to only reiterate poor leadership and compelled me to write this review. I don't trust the current leadership, the high tuition rate that they keep raising, the consistent billing issues, the lack of support for the teachers and any students that aren't following "marching orders". They don't want to be bothered with handling kids who need more care or support.
