My eldest son has been in Goddard Erie since June 2022, we love all the teachers ( Shoutout to Miss Krystal, Saman, Iuliia, Maria and Alexandria). We feel welcome every time we drop off our son. And this year and youngest child started at 3 months at Goddard Erie as well, we feel safe leaving our baby to all the teachers ( Miss Lisa, Rachelle, Shy and Juanita). Me and my husband are confident that our kids are well taken care of and safe. We also love how the school picks up the phone immediately whenever I call and i don’t need to leave a voicemail, someone is always present to answer my concerns. All the staff are very kind and sweet, easy to talk to. We also love how the teachers are very affectionate to all the kids just like how our kids are raised in our own home. Highly recommended!

After a less-than-ideal experience at another nearby daycare, we moved our son to Goddard Erie and I can't speak highly enough about the safe and nurturing environment cultivated at this school. I have seen my son grow exponentially here, and two of the biggest differences between Goddard and other daycares we've interacted with include first how the owner, Shannon, is extremely active and invested in this school. She is hands-on with the teachers, students, and parents, and her heart for this place creates an atmosphere of love and caring. And second, the teachers at Goddard are consistent, engaged, and seem really happy to be there. Where we previously experienced teacher turnover on a near-weekly basis at our previous school, my son's classrooms have maintained the same teachers and this has aided in his comfort at school and his confidence going to school.

The owners are so sweet and this place really feels like a little family. Our son loves coming here and gets so excited to see his teachers!

I can’t say enough great things about this school. Both of my little boys have gone through multiple age classes, and I’ve been so impressed by how loving the teachers are, as well as how much my 3 year old has learned over the last two years! He told me about each planet this morning, in order. What?! The admin (Shannon, Robin and Emily) run a wonderful program, and know every child well. They really work hard to constantly improve the experiences for the kids, including fun events and seasonal traditions like Splash Days. We’re so glad we found this school when we moved to Erie.

Goddard School is not just a day care. Shannon the Owner and her staff Provide a schedule of activities for all age groups. I have a grand son who goes there. Office Staff ,Robin, Audrey and Michelle front office are on top of it all, they provide Updates by email of what is happening every day from Potty, snack , Lunch , recess, activities and even send pictures of the activity he is doing. they hire the best people and all of the care givers are really good, with children . I recommend that anyone that has children and needs place that is safe and teaching , go to the Goddard School,

We are on our second day here, so far, so good! I love all of the hands on learning and that they take them outside so much! They get to learn ASL, Spanish, and yoga! I love that there is a program that they follow. She seems so happy in all of her pictures that I get sent through the day. I know we made the right choice switching her daycares. The entire staff is so helpful too!! Thanks for everything you do guys! I can’t wait to watch my babe grow and learn!! ???

I am a mom of 2 baby girls, both come from the Goddard School at 136th in Thornton. We moved to Broomfield to be closer to work so we had to change schools. We loved their first school, Owner Jena Sautter was amazing since day one, we always felt at home there. My oldest daughter 2 1/2, on her first day at THIS Erie Goddard school came back home with a huge bite in the middle of her back (see pictures). If you see these picture ask yourself why can you see all teeth and also good thing she had clothes on otherwise I don't know what this bite would have looked like. Also I wonder where were the teachers during that time? One of the teachers said they left the room with a helper and that is when it ocurred. The report mentioned she did not provoke the bite and I could see all teeth marks. As a parent you can imagine my frustration. My daughter has never bitten anyone or would never provoke something like this, she is very sweet. Her teacher every other day would compliment how sweet my daughter was to her daughter who was in the same classroom, she would hold hands or help others etc. 2 weeks later we pick her up and she had 3 huge scratches on her cheek, one of them very deep and bleeding and today is a scar that is most likely not going away (see picture). We put a good scar cream on her cheek every night with hope it will go away one day. We were very upset and that same day looked at other school options and we thought, if this happens again we are taking them out. Never did we get to chat with the Owner or a get call from the Owner to assure us they would work on trying to avoid these issues. Never would I have imagined that the next day I get an email from the school from Sarah Falardeau."I wanted to offer my apologies that your experience with our program has not been what you hoped it would be. Over the past 2 weeks, it has become clear that we are not the best program for your family."So, if you are hoping that your child does not get bit or scrached by other children in an aggresive way, or have any concerns with your child not getting hurt you are expecting too much of the school and will most likely be kicked out. I come from 2 years of being in another Goddard and my daughter had many reports of being bitten by another girl and the Owner always worked with us, understood our frustration and explained to us what actions they were taking to avoid these issues and even moved the biter to another classroom to solve the issue. I never felt like I just had to accept that my child could get bitten and I had to deal with it or go to another school. This owner I think lacks the educational background to build a good relationship with the parents and to understand their concerns. I would NOT recomend this school to anyone because of how bad we were treated by the Owner (Sarah Falardeau), who I never met until the day I went to pick up my babies items. This owner never took a chance to get to know us or welcome us to the school, say good morning, nothing.I would understand if its a scratch on the knee from playing at the park or at least if Owner would have taken the time to talk to us, and try to understand how this can be frustrating as a parent and just work through the situation with us and the aggresor. No parent wants to see their kids get hurt, specially for how expensive daycare is. Instead we were pretty much kicked out and for any parent I think this can be so insulting, specially when you are on the receiving end. Also if you are a mom and are looking for daycares you know how long waitlists can be, sometimes a year or two out, this school did not give us any time to even look for another school. We are scheduled to start at Primrose soon and I have many friends that have recommended Primrose at Erie over Goddard School. I would recommend Goddard school in Broomfield or Thornton from other friends and from my own experience but not Goddard school in Erie, specially if this Owner is still there.

I couldn't say enough good things about this school. My kid has been going to this Goddard for 6 months now coming from another daycare in Boulder that she attended for 2 years. Night and day comparison. My 2 year old comes home everyday with something new that she's learned, as compared to her previous place which was really just an over priced babysitter. She's already starting to sound out words and even is learning other languages. Heck, they even potty trained her.The management is really on their game and the teachers are stable and very caring. I'm so glad we found this place.
