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

My Children have attended The Goddard School in Parker Since February of 2017 and we could not be more pleased with our experience!! We have LOVED all of the incredible staff; including the teachers, directors and the owners. They have created a really special learning environment and use engaging curriculum that keeps our children learning and excited to attend school!! I will continue to recommend the Goddard School in Parker to all my family and Friends!

Our kids have attended the Parker Goddard School for the last 6 years. Weve had great experiences with the staff, administrators, and the owner. They were able to accommodate one of our kids who neededsupplemental oxygen as an infant. The school brings in a wide variety of visitors and activities to expose the kids to new experiences. I like the daily reports which are emailed and provide child specific information with photos. I would recommend the Goddard school to anyone looking for a preschool in Parker.

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.

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.

Our 3 year old son has attended The Goddard School in Parker for the last 9 months. We have had a great experience at the school. Our son loves it there! The Tadpoles email system that they use is a great snapshot of how each day was for him. I feel well informed about what they are doing day to day and it helps so I can talk to my son about what they are working on in school. The directors and owner have always been amazing! We appreciate all that they do!

My son currently attends The Goddard School Parker; we love it. We have a baseline because he attended the other Goddard School in Denver in the Wash Park area. I liked that school but it does not even compare to The Goddard of Parker. Recently we switched from the Denver Goddard to another school in Parker and realized that we had made a horrible mistake. We quickly moved our little one back into a Goddard School. Not only are the teachers extremely personable and outgoing so is the front office staff. The school offers a parents night out in which the school pays for completely. Awesome! Denver Goddard offered this but there was a fee for parents that had to be paid in cash.We are seriously considering the private kindergarten that the school has started. We could not ask for a better, more knowledgeable and customer centered setting in which our little one has the ability to learn and grow. Thank you Dan (owner) for creating this atmosphere of diversity, learning and growing.

We made the transition from another school about a year ago. Though the transition to a new place was tough, we couldnt be happier with our decision. All of the Goddard staff are incredibly caring, professional and fun. The learning and play time are well balanced and effective. My son loves coming to school at Goddard and we wouldnt trust anyone else to take care of him.

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!

We have been at The Goddard School in Parker for over 4 years and have been truly blessed! From the owner, to the leadership, to the staff they are always putting kids first. They promote growth and development while creating a great learning environment.After living in Parker for over 4 years and working in the community, the reputation of The Goddard School in Parker well exceeded all the surrounding daycares. Originally we were on a wait list and we were so fortunate to have gotten in when our first born was just 3 months old. The peace we had everyday at drop off and pick up was so comforting as new parents. It’s hard to believe she will be graduating soon.Both our girls absolutely love “going to school”. The office staff is so warm, welcoming and friendly and often go above and beyond for the kids and the families they serve. Their communication is incredible and gives parents a sense of security and comfort. They are up to date with communication technology and do several after hour events throughout the year that have been so memorable for kids and parents alike.We truly love and appreciate The Goddard School of Parker!

Our son was lucky enough to get a spot in the Parker Goddard program and the results we saw were unbelievable! The entire staff is friendly and they were extremely helpful getting him evaluated and into their junior kindergarten program. The front desk crew is wonderful, Mr. Dan (the owner) truly cares about the students and Courtney and Andria go above and beyond to get to know your family. You arent just a number there. His teacher Ms. Joy has the patience of a saint and Sawyer blossomed under her tutelage. By the time he graduated junior kindergarten he was reading along with us at bedtime and telling us the answers to both addition and subtraction questions. His handwriting improved exponentially as well and his joy for learning is endless. We LOVE the Parker Goddard School so much! We are beyond grateful for our time thre and can not wait for our daughter to be born so she can go there too.

Weve been apart of the Goddard-Parker family for 2.5 years. After making the decision to return to work full-time, after being home full-time for 8 years, the right organization was a must. I did some online homework and started in-school tours at Goddard. The feeling among the staff, the Owner and curriculum fit all of our desires, that visiting another school wasnt necessary. Our time is coming to an end, and with that, the teaching team and staff will hold a special place in our hearts, forever. My oldest is leaving with such a well-rounded attitude, solid skill-set for learning and confidence that are priceless. I give a large amount of credit to this school. I would recommend The Goddard Parker school, with zero hesitation.

My kid loves going to school there. She learns so much and the teachers are great.

This is our toddlers second school, this ones been great! Good curriculum and excellent teachers!

This Goddard Broke CO State Law & put Childrens 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 couldnt 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 dont 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 didnt know the law and was apologetic. To that I say there is NO EXCUSE!Luckily my daughters 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!!!

Wonderful. Teachers, curriculum, leadership.
