Meet Brooke Owner
Mrs. Brooke is the onsite owner of The Goddard School located at Arapahoe Road and Aurora Parkway in Aurora, CO. After graduating from Pepperdine University with a degree in Business Management & Finance, Mrs. Brooke worked in the corporate world as a financial controller. As a working mother, she enrolled her two oldest children in the first Goddard School opened in Colorado. Mrs. Brooke fell in love with the Goddard philosophy as her children thrived in the program and she embraced the idea of opening her own school. Three years later, The Goddard School in Aurora was born! Her youngest son, Colin, was the first student enrolled and one of the school's first graduates. Mrs. Brooke strives each day to provide both her students and their parents the greatest possible preschool experience and to build a strong foundation upon which they will thrive!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
This Goddard is very professional and goes above and beyond the expectations any parent has for the child baby all the way to pre-k. My kids show these amazing results every day, and we know it’s because of the amazing staff that educate and teach our children.
We really enjoy our time at the school, our kids are happy, the teachers are friendly and the leadership team is proactive in communication.
The staff has been incredible to us since we started our oldest. They have been very supportive and understanding. Our daughter loves her teachers and enjoys going. There are days she is not ready to leave. We could not recommend this place highly enough
Incredibly warm and welcoming staff, front office and teachers alike. Our kids always have so much fun things to say about their days and their teachers.
We have had excellent luck at Goddard! Our daughter feels so loved by the staff, and is also learning things quicker than we can keep up!
The teachers are all amazing. The classes are well structured to help the kids learn. The directors are also incredible and very personable. We really couldn't ask for a better spot for our son to grow and learn.
We are extremely happy with the care our son receives at Goddard. He’s learning so much about independence and kindness and he loves his teachers and friends. We know he’s in the best of hands when we drop him off each day.
To drop your kids off knowing they are loved and in a safe environment is priceless. The teachers all care for the children as if they were their own. My kids always look forward to going to school, they learn so much while having fun. We get comments all the time how smart both my kids are for their age. The Goddard School has been a blessing to our family.
