Meet Shannon and Cody On-site Owner

We are proud Colorado natives and are grateful to call Broomfield home. Cody earned his Bachelor of Science in Construction Management from Colorado State University, and Shannon holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Regis University. Together, we are the proud parents of four children—Declan, Hayden, Eilee, and Ashlyn, who continue to inspire our dedication to providing high-quality early childhood education. As owners of The Goddard School of Erie, we are deeply committed to fostering a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can develop a lifelong love of learning. Our goal is to partner with families to ensure every child feels valued, supported, and prepared for future success. Outside of school, we enjoy spending time together as a family, often camping, fishing, and exploring the beautiful Colorado outdoors.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Teachers are so nurturing and you can tell they love being there. Speaks to a good leadership environment. I love hearing about the creative and fun learning activities they do each day. My kids seem happy and look forward to going back each day.

Jackson & Grace's Mother

Preschool Classroom

We've been to other daycares and while all the teachers we've worked with have been amazing, what makes Goddard stand out is the way in which the facility is managed. For an industry that has very high turnover rates, the teachers have been consistent; and any concerns that we have raised have been dealt with immediately and professionally. At the end of the day the Goddard School feels like a real partner in our child's care.

Child1 & Lucca's Father

Bridge Classroom

Our son loves every day at school. He asks to go to school and wants to finish his activities at the end of the day. The teachers are wonderful and so caring. I am always impressed by how much our son learns each day.

Jack's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I absolutely love that my child gets such personalized, one on one care! I know that even in a class of eight other infants, her teachers are aware of her individual care and developmental needs. Everyone is always happy to support her next steps and to support her dad and I! We’re so happy with our experience, and appreciate what the school does for her and us each day.

Clara's Mother

Infant Classroom

Goddard School in Erie, CO has created a safe and comfortable environment for my wife and I to leave our 5 month old while we return to work. She is loved and well taken care of. We are greatly appreciative of the efforts taken by all involved to make the school so very excellent.

Charlie & Ellie's Father

Wonderful teachers who truly care about the children, great staff. You all really make us feel safe and our daughter has learned so much! We love it here.

Arya Rose's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The teachers are very caring and really take the time to welcome and listen to each child. The directors and office staff are also very kind, get to know the kids, and run a great program. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that my child is safe and I can see that she is also learning what she needs to start Kindergarten on the right foot.

Julianne's Father

Junior-K Classroom

The premises is very well cared for and the facilities are great for the kids. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I like the use of the tadpole software to keep the parents updated on a daily basis about curriculum and pictures, diet, potty training, etc.
