We moved our child to Goddard from another preschool that was underperforming. The staff at Goddard was attentive and administration was very communicative. Our child loved going to Goddard and learned a lot of skills to make the transition to Kindergarten. It was a very positive experience for our family and I would gladly recommend Goddard to other parents. read more

We absolutely love Goddard! All the teachers are amazing. My son was at Goddard for more than a year in the pre-k and he just loves it there. Every morning he just feels like going to another home away from home. His vocabulary as well as math has improved a lot after joining goddard. Rick and Julie are fantastic people and are like a second family to us. They are doing a wonderful job of creating such a nurturing environment to kids of all ages. They are very approachable and friendly not to mention they make sure they greet you every morning. We are so happy we found this preschool! read more

It's unfortunate that a place that has so much potential is run by humans who have no empathy, logic or human decency. As most places are run top down, the owners create an awful environment for all. They are mean, discriminatory and unprofessional. I really feel for the directors/teachers because they are just puppets who have no say. They are also very selective as to who they like in terms of parents. If you are vocal, you will be pushed out of the school. Also, their Covid rules are just about as illogical as they come and their "sources" change on the daily. Until this place is run by new forward thinking, not insecure owners (this will be never), I do not recommend it. Watch out for the turn over too - there has been a TON of it. read more

Over the years, Goddard and its staff have become part of our extended family. We have been at Goddard for almost 4 years now. My oldest son will be 4 in August and my youngest just turned 2. Both started in the infant room and progressed through the rooms as they aged up. At this point, there are only two rooms we haven't been in yet (they're the pre-k rooms). We've loved every room and all the teachers we've had and so have our boys. They create a special bond with the teachers in each classroom, yes even the infant room (they still love to stop and say hi to her)! A lot of days, when I pick them up, my oldest will exclaim how much he misses his teacher and can't wait to see him tomorrow. Over the years, the things they've shown us or told us they learned at school amazes us. When my oldest first sang his ABCs it wasn't because of us, but them. What I love the most about the curriculum is HOW they're learning. At a glance, it just looks like innocent play (and let's be real, kids need to just play sometimes and there's plenty of that); but, they're learning so many things while they're playing. The concept of in and out, on and off, opposites, colors, shapes, SIGN LANGUAGE, the outdoors, sports, etc. Really, the list could keep going. The owners and staff are great communicators, diligent and detail-oriented. It's always felt clean, safe and welcoming. It will be a sad day when our kiddos completely age out of Goddard. read more

Our son has attended The Goddard School in Louisville, CO since he was 2 1/2. He is in the Pre-K class now and we have had a wonderful experience with this school. The staff are very communicative and available. The school is clean, organized, and safe. There is always a Director and an Owner on site. We have been impressed with the quality of the teachers and with their support of our son. The teachers and the staff have helped "train" us as well! For instance, the school provided a "potty training class" for parents. It is clear that the teachers and staff genuinely care about our child (and all of the children in the school) and it helps immensely that we do not have to worry about our child while we are at work. We appreciate all of the additional things this school provides - daily photos and updates on the Tadpoles app, a monthly newsletter, the availability to sign up for parent-teacher conferences, a variety of activities (visits from the Fire Dept and Zoo; as well as soccer classes), "splash days" during the summers, weekly Spanish lessons, morning and afternoon snacks, and a Pre-K graduation ceremony. We will truly miss The Goddard School when our child goes to Kindergarten next year. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Rick and Julie! read more

I'm sure that The Goddard School, as a franchise, has a wonderful reputation, nationwide. For me, what sets The Goddard School Louisville apart, is the people. They are unmatched. Where there may have been changes to teaching staff or other situations to which they had to respond, the owners did so thoughtfully and with grace. The directors supported the owners' vision and fostered a lively, positive learning environment. My daughter's teachers responded to her needs and supported her insatiable curiosity. Though leaving The Goddard School Louisville was a very sad day for us, I know my daughter is more than prepared for the next chapter in her learning journey! read more

Long overdue review: We started my son at the Goddard School - Louisville when he was 6 months old, he is now 4. We do not attend this school out of necessity or limited options in the area, we attend the Goddard School because we choose to. Our son feels happy, loved and fulfilled on a daily basis. The Pre-K program he is in now is a great balance of education and fun. The days are structured to ensure they are getting focused learning in an energetic positive manner with plenty of free play to learn social skills. My son loves when they teach science, simple math concepts and of course the twice daily healthy snack options. Outside time and movement is an important part of the kids days, they even have splash days where kids play in sprinklers! (big mid-week excitement) The staff is so caring. It's really important to me that my kid learns to make healthy connections with adults outside of my family. He connects with his teachers and talks frequently about each one. He's learned to handle different personalities and teaching structures with ease. This has really helped him with confidence as well as communication. Additionally, they heard the need for Kindergarten from parents were previously preparing to graduate pre-k and move to a formal K-12 program. With the questionable re-opening of public schools (or precarious virtual learning for little ones) The owners found a way to extend their school to support a Kindergarten program. All things considered, this could not have been easy financially or logistically. Great job by Rick, Julie and the whole team to make this happen. Lastly, I am writing this review during Covid. It is a scary time for everyone. The school administrators, teachers and other families have been exceptional in taking steps to keep our kids safe and healthy. Much like their standard policy of open communication, they reviewed and included us on safety precautions, plans moving forward and most importantly requesting feedback from parents on improvements or concerns. We happily plan to continue with the Goddard School! read more

My 5-year-old daughter attended The Goddard School in Louisville for about 6 months, and we are only leaving because we are moving to a new state. In the short time she has attended, my daughter has continued to amaze us with how quickly and how much she is learning. Despite being there for 6 months, the developmental growth we saw was almost immediate. With regards to language, she is constantly pointing out signs with words that she recognizes, sounding out many complete sentences in her books, and writing down her "sight words" for the fun of it. My daughter is able to count higher than ever before without missing numbers. She is performing basic arithmetic by counting fingers and has even subtracted numbers in her head when telling us how many candies she will have left after eating all of a specific color. One of the most interesting things we noticed within the first month of her enrolling at The Goddard School was that her questions became more inquisitive and pointed in some ways; she better understood how to ask a question in order to get the answer she was looking for. The staff is very kind and helpful, and the owner Rick is very receptive to feedback. It's clear that he has a dedicated interest in the happiness and success of both the children he works with every day and their families. If we were not moving, we would absolutely have our daughter continue her education with The Goddard School in Louisville. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Our daughter has been going to the Louisville Goddard School for just over a year now. I can not begin to tell you how much we appreciate the care Rick, Julie, Megan, Amanda and their staff provide for our Daughter. You can see and feel how much everyone at the Louisville Goddard school enjoy watching the kids grow physically and mentally. My wife and I can not say enough great things about all of the teachers and assistants at the school. Ms. Amanda, Ms. Bailey, Ms. Jodi, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Healy, Ms. Cathy and Ms. Lizeth have all positively impacted our daughter. If you are looking for a high quality of care and education for your children, my wife and I would highly recommend the Goddard School of Louisville, CO. read more

Our baby has been at the Goddard School for about 5 months now. I never thought I would feel so confident in the people taking care of my baby, especially since he started at 3 months old. Barbara, his teacher, has always been great about communicating day to day issues and gives detail reports about eating and sleeping that are important to me as I go through my day at work. My husband and I both love the pictures we receive during the day and text each other about what our baby is doing throughout the day. Having a baby during the pandemic is tough, but even when things seem to change all the time, Julie, Rick, Joe and Laura keep us updated. It is always great to see them in person during pick up and drop off. We have been thrilled with the school so far and are excited to continue to be a Goddard family. read more

"Will my child be safe and cared for at this school?" is really the first question that I think about when choosing a childcare, especially for early infants and toddlers. The answer to that question for Goddard in Louisville is undeniably yes! We were with Goddard for a little under 2 years and only left as my son migrated into Montessori. During our time there I found them to be extremely diligent, detail-oriented, and devoted to the safety and well-being of the kiddos that attended. As my son migrated rooms he bonded with each of the respective teachers who demonstrated patience and genuine warmth. When /If we have another kiddo I would happily send them here again! read more

I hope to keep my daughter in this program through kindergarten. We love the Louisville Goddard. The owners and directors are great. My daughter is thriving. We commute to this program willingly because of how much they've invested in our daughter. Highly recommended. read more

We've moved a lot since our kids were born, and choosing a day care has always been a bit of a crap shoot. Not the case with Goddard in Louisville. Rick and Julie have put together a great school where the facilities are excellent and the teachers are better. Even when our daughter 'graduated' classes, we were nervous for her to change. But the new classroom teachers were as good as the first. The curriculum is also great, and we're confident our daughter is learning a lot - more than we would expect for a 2 year old. Unfortunately, we're moving again- and I wish we could take this school with us. read more

Great school with phenomenal leadership and caring teachers. Was always very clean, safe, and well run. Both of our kids went here for around 6 months - unfortunately, we had to transition out due to our new house being far away. Highly recommend. read more

We had a great experience at this school with our 2-year-old. The curriculum is enriching and the teachers are engaged, the administrators support both the teachers and the parents. Regretfully we had to leave due to other constraints, but a couple months on we miss it. Thanks Goddard Louisville. read more

Our toddler son attended the Goddard school in Louisville for about 9 months. We were very impressed with the facility. It's very professional and well managed, super clean and bright, and the teachers and staff are kind and caring to the children. He has learned a great deal and we have always felt good about having him there full time. The only reason we are leaving is that we moved and it is a long drive there from our new house. read more
