We love the variety of their education and how they move from classroom to classroom. We love Make Believe Boulevard (an indoor mini city where the kids can use their imagination to play, complete with a slide and ball pit), that Spanish is taught, they do learning bags on Fridays that the kids share an item of what they learned that week and hands down we both love the interactive LEAP Digital board and corresponding LEAP books. The teachers are amazing, very hands on and compassionate. Jelena and Liz in Toddler 2 class, our 2.5 year old absolutely adores. When we first started, we expressed how we wanted our then 2.5 year old potty trained, and within 1 week after attending there, she was. They were so patient and kind with the potty training our daughter took right to it. Corrie in the Pre-K class is so friendly and patient with the kids. Our 5 year old always came home with new songs or ideas she learned from Ms. Corrie. We were so impressed and just love all the staff there: Denise, Amanda, and Samantha at the front are super friendly and do whatever they can to accommodate your family (our youngest is in speech therapy). There are so many great things about this school and the wonderful teachers I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for quality care for your kids.

They keep us informed on what he needs ( diapers, formual) and every month we give 2 packs of wipes... They are the most reasonable priced as well that I have found, which is a plus.

And Ms. Tonya teaches the class at two locations - the one at the address on this listing and at The Dancer's Advantage on 23rd in Park Hill. Plus they are offered at lots of varying times (9:15, 10:15, 11:15 in the morning for example.) The classes last about an hour and are full of different songs with activities, dancing, instruments, story-time like activities and all the kids really enjoy it. There aren't drop in classes though. You have to register for the sessions, most of which last 10 weeks. For the cost of attending you get the 10 weeks of classes and a free book and I think it probably ends up being around $15/class which seems reasonable to me. Best of all Ms. Tonya is awesome. She's a lovely singer, a very engaging person for kids, and just friendly in general. In fact, I'm thinking Baby N is going to be a musician judging by the way he is enthralled with his music class and teacher....

We started our daughter at GHM when she was about 2.5 years old. We've been at the school for about…read more6 months now and have had an absolutely amazing experience. 1) we love the staff -- both the administrators and the teachers. Ms. Kayla has been particularly amazing. She has been with our daughter in the explorer classroom since we started and has been a true partner to us in our child's development. If we ever are having a challenge at home, we know we can bring it to the teachers at GHM and they'll help reinforce our parenting efforts in the classroom as well. The administrative team is hands on (yay for Jesse, Alyscia, and Jessica!) and so welcoming and kind. I regularly see them in classroom and getting g involved with the kids and as teacher support. Love to see it. 2) GHM strives to foster community amongst parents and families at the school. There are dad's nights, mom's nights, family barbecues and more! I have had the chance to get to know most of the parents of the kids in my daughter's classroom, which is awesome. 3) Parent teacher conferences are regularly scheduled and the staff comes prepared with detailed notes on your child's development and milestones. You can really have a collaborative discussion about your child and their needs! It felt really lovely to hear their perspective because they were so detailed and thoughtful in their assessment. 4) Look, all schools are dealing with staffing shortages, but we have had far less of an issue with this at GHM than we did at our last school. Our daughters teachers have been very consistent and in the event of staff turnover, Jesse, Alyscia and Jessica will do everything in their power to keep the school open - we've never had a school closure due to short staffing -- at our last school this was a regular occurrence. 5) We love that the school takes care of breakfast, lunch and snacks for the kids! Balanced meals, and such a relief to not have to do this at home every night. Helps free up the time we have at home with our daughter for play and connection! End of the day, this is the best possible school for our family. Highly recommend to other parents. Feel so lucky that we found it.

Beware. I have complained to the owner, Jesse about the care…read moreof my son till I'm blue in the face. The neglect of my son not being given water or having sun block put on him by the director of the center while she was in preschool filling in for the lack of consistent teachers and chaos in preschool as is.. Coming home with his underwear having serious skid marks from the teachers not caring for his proper hygene, to his paints and underwear being backwards and shoes on the wrong feet. When I tried to tell the teacher she raised her voice to talk over me and interrupt me to tell me " Well he did that" before I was able to voice my other concerns, veing please wipe his butt better next time and clothes on properly. I thought teachers are supposed to teach the kids how to do things the right way and stand for GHM own "Morals and standards" what a joke. He hires woman is mini shirts and people who have no experience becaude he is desperate for the fill in. No wonder with the way he treats and represents people internally. It looks sparkly on the outside until you get your child in and your family in then you realize it is nothing but terrible communication, an owner out for money and a director who doesnt support her teachers or get out of her chair. Then I got a phone call, not the decency of a face to face conversation by the owner Jesse being told I screamed in the classroom, an over reaction, he nor his teachers cared to listen to my concerns. This is just one exampke of many. There is a new teacher there every week and they don't last for for then a couple weeks if that. I have called state and jeffco for child neglect a few weeks ago and will do so again. The countless teachers that come through this center is unreal. Eight teachers I counted in April and the list goes on. Your child will not have consistent teachers or care. Preschool is out of control as I have had a sub teacher tell me how the director thinks that yelling and screaming gets 3 years to listen and they feel inadiquite and uncomfortable there because they feel it a lost cause. If you want true care for your child and genuine "Vetran Buisness owners" who care about the true well being, BEWARE. Take your money elsewhere as you will be highly disappointed. This is definitely not a diamond in the rough. Ashes to ashes. P.S. Jesse from a Marine to a Marine, we have corps values. Honor, Courage and Commitment. Where is your honor. I sure don't see it. The only thing you honor a dollor sign.. Your commitment... Your sure not committed to the children and how they are being taking care. Courage, where is your integrity? A cowered that tells me one thing face to face and says something different over the phone.

After staying home with me for 4 years, she was going to start daycare/Pre-School. It was stressful at the time finding a place that would "replace" being with me all day. Thankfully we found Goddard! The tour of the school showed us how clean, safe and friendly the establishment was. Gary was great from the get-go! All the front staff are so friendly and helpful! They follow proper protocols to ensure all the children are safe and well taken care of. Dan, the owner, has been the very best! He is so friendly to everyone; all the kids, parents, grandparents, care-takers - and you can tell he really cares! Our daughter was only in Pre-K 2, so I'm not sure how the younger classes are. However, just peeping at the windows and the overall feel of the place - I think they are very having just as much fun as the big kids. Pre-K 2 was such a great learning experience for our daughter. She needs more of a structured learning environment and that was provided for her while maintaining the fun and enjoyment of being a kid. She didn't get sick too often - they clean the toys very well with their fancy technology that I can't even properly explain here haha. Her teachers kept us updated often about her day, glows and grows, and overall wellbeing. They took the time to really get to know her as an individual. They also have other teachers help out in classrooms either towards the end of the day when numbers are going down while kids are leaving, or for teacher lunches/bathroom breaks. So, our daughter knew a lot of the teachers at Goddard. She'd go around saying 'hi' everyone! It was great how helpful all the teachers are, not just in their classroom but for the whole daycare itself. Our daughter really enjoyed Dan and Gary a lot! She was very excited to start kindergarten but on the last day of Goddard she kept saying, I'm going to miss my teachers, Mr. Dan and Gary (sorry Gary, she still can't get the Mr. Gary part hahaha)! You can genuinely tell when a kid is happy or sad about a place and I know our daughter loved it here, felt safe and seen at Goddard Arvada (Ward Road). Thank you all so much for taking care of our daughter while she was there! If you get a chance to tour the place or a chance to join the waitlist - we highly recommend it!

Explore and Discover was hands-down the very best child care decision we ever made. We are leaving…read morethe daycare this week as we are moving, and it will be incredibly hard to say goodbye to the wonderful community here. Leaving your newborn baby somewhere because you have to go to work is hard. Like, really hard. Especially if you're like me, and your brain is constantly thinking up horrific scenarios of "what-ifs". Explore & Discover made us feel comfortable, safe, and like family the whole way through, and made that transition so much easier. Before attending I did my research on all of our child care options, because I understood the gravity of leaving my incredibly tiny, vulnerable baby with a stranger, and wanted to be sure I was making the very best choice for us. I went through years of all of our daycare option's state audits and incident reports. I also weighed location, and the fact that E&D was a co-op. In the end, Explore & Discover was the clear choice. They had a massive wait list (get on early!), but because I only needed two days a week I was lucky enough to be called up to the plate, and I am so glad that I was. My daughter's teacher has not only taken amazing care of her throughout her time with E&D, she has also been my best resource for how to be a parent. I was one of the first of my friends to have a baby and the parent figures in our life were offering very outdated advice, but our baby's teacher taught me how to get her on a nap schedule, how to feed her solid foods, and gave ideas of activities that would stimulate her. She was an unending source of patience and knowledge, and really began to feel like an extension of our family. Because the center is parent-run, the parents are much more involved than I imagine they would be elsewhere, which creates this amazing community of people who genuinely care about their children. There are mom's and dad's nights out, group meet-ups, every-other-month parent meetings, and monthly newsletters created off of contributions of the parents. Having access to this community means that there is always someone there to help you if needed. They cheer each other on when there is a life event, they donate and contribute if a fundraising event is planned, and they rally whenever anything is required for the good of the community or the center. It is something so unique to E&D, and something we felt so lucky to be a part of. We were there before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and because of E&D's attention to CDC guidelines there was not a single positive case within the community. I already mentioned this, but E&D was definitely the best child care decision that we made. Leaving my child at daycare was something I dreaded in the beginning, and grew to be something I (and she) looked forward to. She squeals when we get into the parking lot! I am genuinely disappointed to be leaving this community, but want to be sure to share what an absolutely amazing experience we had here in the hopes that someone like me, a new mother trying to make the best decision for her new baby, will read this and know she found the right place.
