Where They Start Matters

At The Goddard School of Arvada, we believe that the start of your child's journey matters. Since 2011, The Goddard School of Arvada has partnered with Northwest Arvada families to create a nurturing community where stable teaching teams know and support each child. Hands-on learning and strong family relationships help children build academic skills, self-regulation, confidence and peer problem-solving for kindergarten and what comes next. Located near Indiana Street and West 87th Parkway, we serve Whisper Creek, Five Parks, Leyden Rock and Candelas. Schedule a tour.

The staff and teachers at The Goddard School of Arvada are a shining example of what childcare in this country could be. Whenever I walk into the building I am greeted as if I was a family member, and I know the same holds true for both my wife, and most importantly, our son.
