Our daughter has thrived at Goddard. She often comes home displaying a variety of social and developmentally appropriate skills that she learned while there, and seems to thoroughly enjoy being there! Goddard offers lots of fun activities for the kids including various Spanish and Mandarin lessons, drum lessons, yoga, and fun guest visits from folks like Ms Elsa and The Mad Scientist! We also know that she is safe when she is there, and that when/if an illness outbreak happens, we are appropriately notified. Highly recommend! read more

I honestly can not say enough wonderful things about The Goddard School. From day one, our 2 year old daughter has been thrilled to go to school. She gets bummed on the weekends when she doesn't get to go to school! I am amazed by how much she has learned in 2 short months. She knows more than alot of 4 year olds I know! The teachers are so kind and patient, and have endless fun and educational projects for the kids. I love the progress reports we receive daily, along with multiple pictures of our child everyday! I could not be happier with our experience at Goddard and would highly recommend! read more

This is an amazing pre-school / daycare! We have two children enrolled. Our son has been attending since he was 2 and is getting ready to go to kindergarten this fall. Our daughter (now 2) has been here since she was 6 months old. Through Covid the school stayed open everyday and kept our children safe!! They are extremely reliable. They have kept most of their teachers and staff through everything the past few years. This speaks volumes. My daughter has the same teachers my son started out with three years ago. My children are happy and safe. I feel like they are having fun and getting an education. We highly recommend this school. You get your money's worth!! read more

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! read more

My son has been attending the Goddard School on Emerson since he was 6-months old and we've had an absolutely incredible experience!!!!!! We were on the waitlist about a year and a half before enrolling, and even during that process - the owners/administration (Erin, Matt, Crystal) were very communicative and transparent. Our son is in the Koala's classroom with Mrs. Jennifer and Ms Lexii and the class is wonderful. His teachers are so caring, patient and fun. They are very communicative and buttoned-up. They track feedings, diaper changes and their daily activities through an app. They are well organized and do educational activities each day. Our son comes home with art work, crafts and smiles every week. Mrs. Jennifer and Ms Lexii treat our son like he is their own, and we are so thankful for them! I feel so much peace of mind knowing my son is loved and is learning every day. Our family highly recommends the Goddard School!!! read more

The administration is so frustrating to deal with. We submitted an application and deposit to get on the waitlist two years ago-I spent the past six months trying to follow up via phone, email, and in person to see where we are on the waitlist and no one could be bothered to follow up with me with a one minute email. Even if something opened up, given how unhelpful everyone at this school has been-I would not send my kid here. I know there aren't a ton of options in Denver, but that shouldn't give you a license to treat people like crap. read more

I have a hard time finding the words for how thankful we are to be enrolled and have our girls attending the Goddard School - Wash Park. Our 3 year old is exploding with joy to go to school every single day and she is learning so much and just soaking in every new activity, challenge and adventure that each day holds! My 1 year old is so loved and cared for a happy every single day! The school is so well run, organized, clean, safe, responsive and we could not be happier to be enrolled there. Thank you Goddard Family! read more

Goddard School of Denver - Review Concerning Business Practices @ The Goddard School of Denver This review is to provide awareness to questionable business practices at the Goddard School of Denver (1400 S. Emerson Street , Denver , CO 80210). [https://www.goddardschool.com/denver/denver-emerson-street-co]. The intent is to share our personal experience related to the Goddard School waiting list and ensure all expecting parents [potential customers] are aware of a process lacking transparency and integrity. Our story starts like all excited parents begin their childcare journey, a positive pregnancy test. Once the expected due date (March 16, 2020) was identified we began touring childcare providers. The Goddard School of Denver is a childcare provider in the neighborhood that enjoys a terrific location and an abundance of customers, waiting in line for enrollment. On September 24, 2019 we toured the Goddard School of Denver and were informed a waiting list option was available to lock in a spot for enrollment in March, 2021. On the same day we paid $150 to reserve a spot on the waiting list. We realized this would mean alternative care would be needed until March 2021, but we were willing to be flexible for what is presumably a childcare provider that has an abundance of customer options. On February 29, 2020 our son was born. I contacted the Goddard School of Denver on March 3, 2020 to update them and inquire about our position on the waiting list and expected enrollment date. Matt Anderson, Executive Director at the Goddard School of Denver, responded "I would guestimate there being space for your son when he is closer to the age of 2.5." This would translate to "guestimated" enrollment date of September 2022! Based on Matt's response, from the time we reserved our spot on the waiting list on September 24, 2019 to the date of March 3, 2020 our expected enrollment date grew by one year and five months; all while we enjoyed our purchased position on the Goddard School of Denver waiting list. I inquired with the Goddard School of Denver on three occasions to our ordinal position on the waiting list. Each inquiry went without a response from the Goddard School of Denver. It is at this point I realize the waiting list lacks transparency and integrity concerns of the Goddard School of Denver grow. I realize the Goddard School was eager to collect a waiting list fee and then demonstrated an unwillingness to communicate our position on the waiting list. When I requested an explanation for the precipitous drop in enrollment date Matt Anderson responded "There is no way to provide an accurate date this far in advance because there are so many factors involved." It is at this point my integrity concerns for the Goddard School of Denver are confirmed. I have engaged in a transaction in which the Goddard School of Denver is unwilling to articulate any of the factors that impact the waiting list and incapable of transparently sharing our position on their waiting list. I requested a refund of our waiting list fee in exchange for withdrawal from their waiting list program. My request has gone without a response from the Goddard School of Denver. My reason for providing this review is to illuminate the integrity issues plaguing the Goddard School of Denver and ensure potential customers are informed and educated to the waiting list practices before they become a Goddard School of Denver waiting list victim. As you consider your childcare provider ask yourself if lessons in integrity are something you value and want to ensure are instilled in your child. Then ask yourself if the Goddard School of Denver demonstrates the integrity you would expect. Please proceed with caution as you consider your childcare provider and the individuals that will be shaping the character of your children. It cost me $150, but fortunately I was able to learn how the Goddard School of Denver demonstrates deception, ambiguity and unresponsiveness before our sons' character was influenced by the Goddard School of Denver. read more

We love Goddard! Our daughter LOVES school and adores her teacher. She has grown so much in the past year both academically and emotionally. We are forever grateful for this place! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I have been a fan of The Goddard School for a very long time! My family is originally from NY where my younger siblings attended a Goddard for many years. I am now a new mother and have placed my child in the care of the Emerson Goddard School. I was nervous and scared to leave my child with anyone even with the stellar reputation this school has. The administrative staff and teachers quickly helped set my mind at ease. I am so pleased with the loving care provided by the teachers as well as the creative and fun curriculum! I recommend this school to all my friends and family. read more

Both of our children have greatly benefited by the Goddard school since it first opened in 2010. Our son attended and is now thriving in 1st grade with a solid foundation from his preschool experience. Our daughter is still at Goddard, loves going to school every day and adores her teachers and friends. Any time we've ever had any questions or concerns the directors and owners have always been available, attentive and supportive. I can't recommend this school enough. read more

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! read more
