- DBDana Boyd5 days ago5.0Our two sons have attended Goddard for over a year. We had a negative experience with another local daycare and our experience at Goddard has been completely different. We’ve been so impressed with the professionalism, communication, and family support from this school. When there are challenges, the staff and leadership address them and communicate openly about them. We feel so confident in our sons’ social and emotional development as well as educational aspects of their development, especially for our preschooler. There is a reason the Goddard School of Castle Rock has a long wait list. We feel very fortunate to have landed here and consider this school an extension of our village.
- THTom HaydenOct 1, 20255.0Two children, seven years and counting! We have been grateful for the care, development, and partnership with Goddard as our kids went through the school. Great communication, and even with the some health challenges, we found a great partner with ownership and the directors. Our older son was better prepared for school than some of his non-Goddard classmates in the transition, and the impact of having great prep teachers including Ms. Sheryl and Ms. Chrissi continues to show in his growth several years later. We feel very fortunate as our younger son heads towards his own graduation from the personal growth and development provided here by his many caring teachers that also include Ms. Deb and Ms. Jess. A heartfelt thank you to Shannon and the Goddard team!
- JSJosh SaxtonAug 25, 20255.0I cannot say enough positive things about the Goddard School in Castle Rock. My girls thrived and grew so much socially and academically during the 2.5 years they were there. They wouldn’t be nearly as ready for Kindergarten (this year) without the amazing teachers and staff at Goddard. I am so grateful and indebted to them for taking such excellent care of my daughters. THANK YOU!!🙏
- BEBJ EnochJul 25, 20255.0Our child has attended The Goddard School of Castle Rock for 2 years in the preschool and pre-k classrooms and has absolutely thrived in the safe and nurturing environment they've provided. His teachers have been nothing short of incredible. They all truly have a passion for what they do and are genuinely invested in every child in their classroom. The growth we've seen in not just academics, but also in social confidence, emotional development, and problem-solving skills, has been incredible. The wide range of activities he's able to participate in at school, like soccer shots, little gym, and zookeeper visits, among others, makes every day an exciting adventure for him, where he's genuinely excited to go to school. He's heading into kindergarten extremely well-prepared and is excited to continue learning. School operations are fantastic as well. The school does an excellent job of parent communication, has a safe and efficient drop-off/pick-up system, and great overall facilities.
- AMAlyssa MeltonJul 21, 20255.0This school will always hold a special place in our hearts. Both of our children attended The Goddard School and had truly wonderful experiences. Our oldest started at just 3 months old and stayed through age 4, and the growth we witnessed—academically, emotionally, and socially—was incredible. The curriculum is thoughtful, and the school culture fosters a warm, nurturing environment. The most recent teachers our children had were truly exceptional. Ms. Deb and Ms. Brittany in the preschool classroom, and Ms. Alexa and Ms. Cameron in the infant classroom, cared for our children as if they were their own. Their kindness, patience, and dedication gave us complete peace of mind and made our children feel safe, loved, and encouraged every day. We would have loved to continue at Goddard, but a job relocation required us to move out of state. If you’re looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching place for your children to learn and grow, we wholeheartedly recommend this school.
