Meet Naomi Owner
Hi! I am the owner of The Goddard School in Arvada. I have been part of this Goddard Family since 2011. Over the years I held various roles including Classroom Teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, Director, and Executive Director.
My passion has always been to work with young children. I received my BA in Liberal Studies, focusing on Education and Ethnic Studies, from the University of California, Riverside and my Director’s Certificate from Front Range Community College. I most recently completed a Masters’ Certificate as part of the Buell Early Childhood Leadership Program at CU Denver and am currently working towards completing my masters in Early Childhood Education.
I value education and have learned a lot, but what has always stood out is the importance of cultivating community, which is at the heart of what we do.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
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.
Goddard has been a part of our family for 6 years and we hope to spend a decade with them as our kids grow and learn. We always feel welcome and supported. The teachers are hard working, kind, professional and compassionate. They have been a solid partner who we can count on to take good care of our children.
The teachers and the connections they make with our boys are incredible!! Love them life family!!
We love the community, teachers and administrators! As a parent, there is nothing better than dropping your child off and knowing they are safe, well cared for and having fun. Thanks Goddard!!
We feel comfortable leaving Luca at Goddard daily, which is enough to recommend highly. Luca is the most important piece of our lives, and we feel like he's not only safe but richly nurtured while in the care of the teachers at Goddard.
Our daughter said, "I love this school!" Can't do much better than that from a 4yr. old.
Staff is kind, thoughtful and courteous. They teach kids in a way that is so fun for kids.
The kids seem to be following an organized, structured program that covers a lot of different areas. The variety is great!
