The Goddard School of Colorado Springs

Definitely one of the best day cares our daughter has been to this school is very personable, and my daughter was always excited to go to school this school is also extremely clean and doesn't smell like dirty diapers like others I have been to around the springs. The teachers here are very good and will provide you with a daily report on what they worked on, how your child did, etc. Overall I was extremely satisfied with this day care and would highly recommend to anyone.

This place is horrible to children! The "teachers" here are extremely rude and too "hands on" with the children when it comes to discipline. And the owner? Don't even get me started. DO NOT ENROLL HERE!! I'm warning you

I have had 3 kids go through this Goddard school from newborn to preschool. They have all made lasting friendships and went through social growth (conflict resolutions, best friends, etc). They were all well prepared for kindergarten and made the school transition easily. My kids loved their teachers and would talk about all the neat facts, silly songs, yoga poses and fun lessons from their school day. We did the option for Soccer Shots program as well. As a parent, I appreciate the early drop off (630am!) and late pickup at 6pm. The teachers assist with specific transitions such as introducing food (directed by parents/packed lunches/snacks), potty training (kids will help each other line up), and phasing out nap time for kindergarten. We weathered through COVID - the staff and owners were clear with limits and expectations. As a healthcare worker - the school remained open and an option throughout the whole time. There is some teacher turnover, but there are also staff/teachers who have been there for years (and taught all my kids - Ms Cheryl!) . I never had any issues about staff interactions with the children.Ms Anand (owner) is available on site and also responded via email quickly. She knew all the kids names and was always pleasant.

We visited their school for a tour, and got to meet the owner. Their waitlist is extensive, but after getting to know us she gave us great referrals that she thought would align with our needs. Really appreciate the mindset, class and approach of this facility, and thankful for the owners thoughtfulness.

The staff at Goddard are merely phenomenal! Ms. Soo, Ms. Rohini, Ms. Lisa, and my home-girl Ms. Jacci are the ladies who I interact with most often; they are professional, personable, and caring individuals. The owner, Ms. Kumud, hires the best talent to handle the training and development of our kids, and she is constantly engaged with the kids and staff. The change I've seen over the last year in my son has been nothing but ground-breaking. He reads, writes, interacts with other kids and adults with respect and kindness, and he's more disciplined than prior to starting at Goddard. His mother and I, of course, reinforce these practices at home but the investment we have made at Goddard has paid off. The hours of operation are helpful as well (6am-6pm) because my wife doesn't drive and I have a busy work schedule, so it enables me to drop off and pickup with enhanced flexibility. Our son has gone from little boy to talented young man, ready to tackle kindergarten this fall. We are very grateful to the staff at Goddard and we look forward to enrolling our youngest when he is potty trained and ready to join the team at Goddard. Thank you all for an amazing year with your tireless efforts in child development and care.

My daughter had attended Goddard since she was 2 until the age of 5. Goddard has been under new owners for the past 3 years. Kuhmad handled the challenging transition with COVID very well. School continued at the parents discretion. The school was very cautious in the guidelines and provided the safest and cleanliest environments for these children. My daughter learned so much academically and did a lot of recreational fun like soccer and yoga!

I would like to respond to Diana C.'s review. This family signed a contract for 2 children. We held their spots for months turning away other children. They changed their minds and demanded that we refund a non-refundable deposit, that is clearly stated in the contract. There are always two sides of every story. We love our military families and don't appreciate abusive people who think that by threatening poor reviews and calling our staff names will get them what they want. Ms. Cameron and family NEVER attended the school. There are now NEW owners of school now and I would encourage everyone to tour and see for yourselves why our accredited school with degreed staff differentiate us from other schools.

6 months ago we decided to find a new educational daycare option for our youngest child, our three year old son, and we started at The Goddard School of Colorado Springs. Ms. Sonjia in the Giraffe room has been AMAZING and gone above and beyond to help make the transition easier, and ensure our son is happy and thriving. She and the staff have partnered with us to help him overcome some challenges, and Ms. Sonjia has been instrumental in his success and our happiness. The educational aspects of Goddard seem to be more focused than what our daughter experienced at another local school and they clearly make learning fun for a 3 year old. It is presented in such creative ways that makes it exciting for him every day and he loves to show us his skills counting, writing, and singing. I am very thankful that the staff cares about our child as much as they do, and work with us to make his days there as positive as possible.

Our family adores The Goddard School in Colorado Springs! Our daughter has grown so much since starting here last summer. Her communication, socialization, reasoning skills, and understanding of pre-k concepts have developed so quickly. The school took proper precautions with COVID to keep staff and students safe without going overboard. We will be so sad to leave here for kindergarten but are grateful for all the work they put into preparing her for school. Being a military family, it's always hard to choose a new school every few years. We are glad we chose Goddard!

Our son attended Pre-K at The Goddard School for the last year and it has been a wonderful experience. Ms. Sarah is a fantastic, attentive, and caring teacher. The daily reviews of the curriculum were accurate and provide great discussion to share in my sons daily activities and education. They are also very consistent in sharing pictures daily. The staff took great care in knowing our family despite the year of wearing masks and not being able to enter past the lobby.
