The Goddard School in Denver receives consistently high praise from parents.

Front desk staff/administration are very professional, kind, and personable; incredible teachers that are present and play / interact with the students; ample indoor and outdoor play areas that are safe and child appropriate; excellent communication between staff and families; high cleanliness standards (recently won an award for this!); wide variety of learning skills and lessons throughout the day; spanish and mandarin speaking staff and spanish lessons; special visitors on a frequent basis (magicians, musicians); hours of operation are great for working caregivers (open 5 days a week 7AM-6PM); and most importantly I trust that my child will be well taken care of and have a great time when there!
My wife and I both love this school. Our daughter had a tough time moving schools and her teacher has been so great in getting her integrated with new friends and feeling comfortable at school. It is really nice to have our child at a school that has great teachers and great administration. I'd strongly recommend the school to anyone.
The Wash Park Goddard daycare has been incredible for our son. He began around 1. He was pretty shy around new people then. He has since blossomed into a much more social and confident kid. He loves and is now often talking about his teachers and other kids in his class. The staff and teachers do an incredible job on the child front, but they also do a great job on the parent-facing front with consistent and helpful communication and outreach programs. I cannot say enough great things about this daycare and our experience here.
We’ve had a great experience at Goddard. Administration is organized and responsible. Teachers are energetic and kind. Academics are excellent and our son is very well prepared for kindergarten!
The Goddard School at South Emerson is truly amazing. They allow time for play and exploration, but also learning. Our kids look forward to school every day. The school staff and teachers go above and beyond with school activities, holiday events, and their day to day curriculum. Goddard has prepared our children well for Kindergarten. Would not have our kiddos at any other school!
