- MMMelanie Marker6 days ago5.0We absolutely love Goddard in Fort Collins. The teacher's and leadership are all amazing. Our daughter has been there since she was 4 months old and is now almost 3.5 years old. She has absolutely thrived and has had such special relationships with many of her teachers and support staff, and has friends she's been with since she was a baby. We recommended Goddard to everyone we know.
- ACAllen ChenJun 10, 20255.0I highly recommend Goddard School Fort Collins. The teachers and staff have all been top-notch, engaging, friendly, organized, and competent. I always see very happy, smiling kids at pick-ups, and drop-offs. I had the opportunity to spend a couple of half-days in the classroom, and my visits only confirmed what I already knew. The kids are all having a great time, and the teachers and staff are excellent.
- JIJordan IngramNov 10, 20235.0I can't say enough about the Fort Collins Goddard school. I've have both of my children here for preschool, our son currently is thriving. The owner Michelle is very sweet, the front office staff are always friendly, and the teachers our kids have had are great. This is the school you want your child to be at!

Our busy toddlers flex their independence as they learn to walk, talk and safely explore the world around them. Their curiosity and interests drive the classroom structure.
In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them.

To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
