- DNDebarati NandySep 15, 20255.0I am happy to leave a 5 star review for these girls and guys of course. They have helped more than once and even adjusted our tuition fee when my child was away for sometime. They were super flexible and super accommodating with my requests and acted in the best interest of my child. A special mention must be done for Ms. Maura and Mr. Frank since my child loved them so much. They must have done something to earn that! One the other hand my child was so scared of Ms. Sezerina that he wouldn't stop crying for weeks when we tried to do the transition from the earlier class....again that probably speaks about her! All in all, its been a nice experience sending my kiddo out here and I had to discontinue only because we moved to another town. I highly recommend them.
- NNNoemiSep 3, 20225.0Our son attended the Goddard School for 4 years. We always felt comfortable knowing our son was safe and happy when going to the Goddard. Our appreciation cannot be quantified with words or monetary rewards. We will simply say THANK YOU for the love and attention you have bestowed upon our son and the comfort we have felt with him in your care. We highly recommend the Goddard School as a safe, clean, and beautiful place for your kids to grow and learn.
- MVMonica ValentinAug 18, 20225.0I fist toured this school as a perspective parent. After touring I decided to apply for a job there as well. The staff during my tour was so friendly and the facility felt so warm and inviting. I was soon hired as a pre-k teacher. My son also attended the infant room as well as two older kids in the summer camp program. Having both perspectives as a parent and an employee, I can saying with 100% certainty The Goddard School of Aurora is one of the best childcare facilities I’ve seen. I am military and we’ve moved a lot, so I know my way around childcare centers. The teachers are heavily supported by admin, the owner, Sloan Armstrong, is very present in the day-to-day and is not afraid to step in whenever support is needed. The military has since moved us from Colorado but my heart is still with The Goddard team here in Aurora, and we hope to return in a few years.
- VMVinit MJun 11, 20211.0This is just a day care. Definitely not a school. We sent our kid here for a month to the so called "preschool" but there is nothing that is done here. The playgroups are much better. The care takers in the preschool force kids to take a nap in the afternoon. They would put blanket on kids face to force them to sleep. Also, the way the care takers talk to the kids is really bad. They have a really bad tone of talking affecting the kids in the negative way. The care takers also throw away the left overs from the snack box to show the parents that the kids have finished their snack. The communications from them in the app about kids update is completely off. There is no sync between what they say and what they add within their app. Very bad and poor communication. All in all, this is not a school or preschool at all. Just an extended day care.
