The Goddard School of Parker has been amazing! We had to relocate our 3 year old to this school last minute as his last school closed unexpectedly. I was also pregnant at the time with my other son; it was a chaotic time. It took some adjusting for my toddler due to all the changes (new school, baby brother), but the teachers and the administrative staff at Goddard worked with us to get my son on the right path. We are so grateful for all their efforts and are seeing such positive growth in both of our boys. My youngest son has been in the Cubs room since 13 weeks and his teachers are so sweet and always make me feel so relieved to leave him in a safe and happy environment. I can tell both of our boys are loved there. The school is clean and communication is good. Highly recommend.

We moved to Goddard a couple years ago and have been extremely happy with the care of our pre-schooler. The staff is friendly and responsive. Our child has thrived in the environment.

When your toddler gets bitten on a daily basis by other "friends" it hard to want to keep your baby in this school. Not sure what is going on but something needs to change.

DO NOT trust Goddard School of Parker with your children!!! Very shady business practices, many red flags and signs of abuse. Don't walk, RUN!!!

I’m not sure there are enough words to express our gratitude towards the amazing staff at Goddard. Our oldest child graduated last spring and had the best experience. From the minute he walked through those doors, he felt welcome and loved. His teachers were amazing and prepared him for kindergarten where his transition was smooth and positive. Our younger child is currently enrolled and she is thriving. She learns something new every day and comes home to tell us that her teachers are best friends. I couldn’t ask for a more nurturing and educational environment. We have found a perfect balance at Goddard and we are so thankful for everything they have done and continue to do for our family. Joe and Kiersten are very involved owners and dedicated to the parents and the children. They work so hard and it shows.

My daughter has attended The Goddard school for the last 2 years and we couldn’t be happier with this school, the staff and how much our child has learned at this school! We came from a prior daycare where she was not getting the education we wanted her to get, here they have an amazing curriculum, the teachers are patient and kind and that’s what we wanted for our daughter. I’d highly recommend Goddard to anyone looking for a great daycare for their kids! We will be sad to be leaving this summer!

The Goddard school has given my children the necessary tools to be the best and brightest individuals they can be. The teachers are very engaging with the children and the staff is all like family. The play- based curriculum that they use for the children is one of the reasons we chose The Goddard school for our children. We did a lot of researching and tours at other facility’s but nothing matched up to Goddard. One of my favorite things is when my children wake up on the weekends and ask if they get to go to school, because that’s how much Goddard has made it so much fun for them to learn. We would recommend Goddard to all of our family and friends with younger children.

This Goddard Broke CO State Law & put Children's Health at Risk.I am deeply suspicious of all of the good ratings for this Goddard. My families horrific experience with this school occurred in mid 2016. My daughter had been in the 1yr classroom for several months and seemed to be thriving. One week she came down with a stomach bug - vomiting and mostly diarrhea. After about a day and of half of her symptoms not improving, I decided to call her pediatrician.The pediatric nurse called back and said what my daughter was likely experiencing was the common stomach bug that plagues children her age often, however, she wanted to ask me some screening questions to rule out anything more serious. The first question she asked was, "has your daughter been exposed to reptiles in the last week?" The nurse went on to say, "this could include lizards, iguanas, turtles, etc." Much to my surprise I had to answer YES. A couple of days before my daughter fell ill, I recall seeing lots of pictures on TadPoles showing my daughter touching and petting a large iguana and turtle, that were both pictured inside of the school.The nurse told me I needed to immediately bring my daughter in to be seen and if I couldn't get her into the Pediatrician within an hour that she needed to be taken directly to the closest emergency room. I was able to get into the pediatrician right away and they explained that reptiles are known to carry salmonella all over their exterior, and that the CDC strongly discourages children under 5 having any contact with them. The pediatrician collected a stool sample and were sent home to hydrate and await the results.Once we got home I was mostly in shock about how this could have occurred and mad at myself for not having a red flag in my mind when i saw the photos of the reptiles in the school. I decided to call the Tri County Health Department to speak with them about the matter. I was able to immediately speak with a staff member who informed me that bringing reptiles and chickens into a school with children under 5 years old is against CO state law. I mention the chickens because a few weeks before the reptile incident, the school also brought in chickens to wander around the playground with the kiddos.The Health Department explained this is illegal because the risk of the kiddos contracting a zoological diseases is very high given the known diseases these animals carry. AGAIN, I was speechless and shocked that the school could have allowed this to happen and basically demonstrated to me they a.) they don't know CO state law pertaining to child care facilities, or b.) knew about it and disregarded the law. The Health Department informed me that they would promptly be in touch with the school and likely issues a citation.Needless to say we immediately pulled our daughter out of the school and have since landed at another child care facility in Parker that 100% knows the laws pertaining to the safety of our children. My husband spoke with the Goddard owner and informed him he placed all of the kids in the school at risk and flagrantly broke the law. He proclaimed he didn't know the law and was apologetic. To that I say there is NO EXCUSE!Luckily my daughter's culture came back negative for salmonella and a host of other nasty diseases that could have easily been transmitted to the kiddos from the animals they brought into the school. Had she tested positive, the Health Department would have immediately closed the school and placed them on some kind of probation. I will say there were two other kiddos in my daughters class who also had stomach ailments at the same time. I am not aware if those parents had the tests done to determine if it was salmonella.Another disturbing fact we found out was that the guy the owner was bringing in to show the reptiles was not registered with the state, nor could he be contacted by the Health Department. His website was extremely shady! The Health Department said the reptiles were not registered. ALL VERY DISTURBING!!!
