We could not be happier with our experience at The Goddard School of Colorado Springs. The teachers are incredibly caring, attentive, and have shown how they are genuinely invested in helping my child feel socially and emotionally supported through his first preschool experience. Our son comes home excited to share what he’s learned each day, and we’ve seen such wonderful progress in his confidence, communication, and curiosity. The curriculum is engaging and well-balanced, blending structured learning with creativity and play. We also deeply appreciate the strong communication from staff and the safe, nurturing environment they provide. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Goddard School of Colorado Springs to any family looking for a preschool that truly feels like an extension of home.

My son attended daycare since he was 2 years old to graduating out of the prekindergarten classroom. This facility is highly organized, hygienic and has the best management. The staff is very patient, speaks kindly with all the children and are responsive. They always answered our calls and responded to our emails at the earliest. Regarding the curriculum, we saw a drastic improvement in my son’s behavior, his speech and confidence. Teachers took the time to work with each child and create fun lesson plans to engage the kids. I knew my child was truly learning each day rather than just being "watched." They were also instrumental in helping with potty training which was incredibly helpful. They have a secure and safe environment in their playground as well which makes this facility the best in the area. I could go to work feeling that my child is in a safe place. The entire team was open to constructive feedback and made improvements based on the suggestions. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone in need of safe and reliable learning environment for kids!!

A True Second Home for Our Child From the moment we walked through the doors of this preschool, we knew we had found something truly special. The love, care, and dedication that the teachers pour into each and every child is nothing short of remarkable. They don't just teach — they nurture, they guide, and they believe in every student’s potential. This school feels like family. It's a warm, welcoming community where our child is not just a name on a roster, but a unique individual who is seen, heard, and valued. Not a single day passed where our son was not greeted by his name walking through the school doors. This amazing staff did this for each child they have enrolled! The environment is one of joy, creativity, and growth. Every day, our kiddo comes home excited about what he has learned, eager to share stories, and full of confidence in who he is becoming. Our son's teacher, Mr. Geoffrey, went above and beyond every day to foster both knowledge and character. He helps create a beautiful balance of structure and freedom — allowing children to explore their creativity while also preparing them academically and socially for the future. We’ve watched our son flourish here, developing independence, kindness, curiosity, and a love of learning that we know will last a lifetime and we cannot thank you enough! This preschool is more than just a school — it’s a second home. And for that, we are forever grateful and we can't wait to return to Goddard soon with our second son.

I recently had the opportunity to visit this facility while considering enrolling my child, and I was truly impressed! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, clearly demonstrating their passion for early childhood education. During the tour, I observed the children engaged in various activities that promote learning through play, including arts and crafts, storytime, and outdoor exploration. It was heartwarming to see how attentive the caregivers were, fostering a nurturing environment where each child felt valued and supported. The facility itself is bright, clean, and well-organized, with plenty of age-appropriate resources and toys that stimulate creativity and curiosity. I also appreciated the emphasis on safety and hygiene, which is so important for parents. Communication appears to be a top priority as well, with regular updates for parents and an open-door policy for any questions or concerns. Overall, my visit left me feeling confident about the possibility of enrolling my child. I believe this daycare would provide a wonderful foundation for their growth and development, and I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a nurturing and enriching environment!

We absolutely love this daycare, especially the infant class! From day one, the staff has been incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to our baby’s needs. It’s clear how much they genuinely care for our son—they’ve created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment that makes it so much easier for us to leave our little one each day. The infant teachers go above and beyond with daily updates, pictures, and thoughtful activities that help our baby (well maybe not so baby anymore 😆) learn and grow. We’ve seen such positive changes in his development, and we feel so lucky to have found a place that gives us total peace of mind. The facility is always clean and the front staff, Natreece, Allie, Ms. K, and Cheryl, are so nice. We can’t recommend this daycare enough—especially Ms. Shannon and Ms. Mickaela in the infant class.
