At The Goddard School located in Longmont, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, but I wouldn’t recommend the infant class. My daughter only attended for a short time due to ongoing communication challenges.

The Goodard School of Longmont is the best daycare in the area. I have been to two others before settling my kids here. The program for both young and kindergarten kids is fun and challenging. My kids are extremely happy about going to school and always have so much to talk about when I pick them up. The teachers are all certified and they are all professional. It is easy to communicate with them as well. The owner and director are superb and treat every kid as their own. The other thing I love is that the older kids have "friday friends" with the younger children. My daughter knows pretty much every kid in the school through this activity, and she loves being a role model to the younger kids. What a fantastic life lesson for her! I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a daycare you can really trust and feel at home with, you can not find a better place in the area.

My child has been attending Goddard School in Longmont, CO since she was 2 1/2 years old. Upon walking into the school you could feel the "nurturing energy." The owners were amazing and clearly have found their calling. Hannah has loved every teacher, every fun day, and truly everything about her experience at Goddard. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to get their child into a program that prepares them for their future education.
