THE GODDARD SCHOOL OF ARVADA

I would not recommend this daycare based on my experience. One of the biggest concerns was that the teacher-to-child ratio was misrepresented. The staffing levels I was told to expect did not consistently match what I observed, which raised concerns about supervision and the level of attention children were receiving. As you can see in my screenshots there were frequently days where parents were incentivized to keep their child home due to understaffing and if they weren’t able to, to expect their child to be moved between rooms. Instead of having a stable environment with familiar teachers and classmates, children were regularly shuffled back and forth to accommodate staffing and enrollment needs. This created inconsistency and made it difficult to feel confident that my child was receiving the structure and continuity that young children need. Transparency and consistency are extremely important when choosing childcare. Unfortunately, I did not feel that either was adequately provided here. Families considering this daycare should ask detailed questions about actual classroom ratios and how often children are moved between rooms before making a decision.

Our son has attended Goddard Arvada for nearly three years, and we couldn't be more pleased with the teachers and management. To us, low staff turnover is one of the clearest signs of a healthy, well-run school — and Goddard Arvada has this! The consistency of familiar, caring faces has made all the difference. We also deeply appreciate the no-technology philosophy in the classrooms. Watching our son grow in his creativity, independence, and play skills over these years has been a joy — and we believe that environment has a lot to do with it. We recommend Goddard Arvada wholeheartedly to any family looking for a nurturing, intentional place for their child to grow.

Two kids through Goddard in Arvada - the staff is responsive and proactive and our kids have been well looked after by teachers and staff. Certainly not an easy business to run - they are doing great work!

We love it here! Our child is so happy and supported, the teachers and staff are so friendly and accommodating and we enjoy spending time with all the other families we have met. We have seen so much growth in our son since he had started at this facility and we know he is safe and loved everyday.

We love The Goddard School of Arvada! It was the best choice we could have made to send our son to school there. The teachers really care about him and it shows. They are patient, supportive, and teach to the whole child - social, emotional, and academic. The owner, Naomi, is lovely and is so passionate about creating a connected community for families.
