Our child was just kicked out of preschool last Friday with ZERO notice. I went into TLE Fort…read moreCollins to discuss a behavior plan after a rough day of not napping and acting out. I asked them if they were bringing any solutions to the table, to which they said they would just watch and record their behavior. I gave them an entire list of things that work at home. Such as, addressing them with a calm tone, redirecting, giving them jobs, etc. They responded with "we can't do those because it doesn't fit our way we do things". I left with nothing accomplished and got an email 5 minutes later saying they were terminating care for my child, immediately. I'm so frustrated and sad that they didn't even want to try with them and it feels like they're saying they are more trouble than they're worth. I'm devastated that they didn't get to say goodbye to any teachers or friends and are now being completely uprooted, which might make behaviors worse. What do I tell my child when they ask why we can't go back? I still don't understand why on earth the school decide to terminate IMMEDIATELY on a Friday evening when schools are closed on the weekend. I feel like that is the ultimate show of disrespect to us. No wonder they have been on probation by the state. My child loved 3 of their teachers like family and I'm so crushed right now. They've been asking why they can't come back to see their friends and it is absolutely gut wrenching. I gave them many solutions and they ultimately told me they couldn't do their job properly. So, if your child has sensory issues and needs a little extra love, I would not recommend TLE. I just wish they would have just given them another shot and tried some of our solutions.

I am inspired to create spaces for inspiration, nature exploration, and wonder based learning for children and their families in my community. Several years ago, I won The National Family Childcare Provider of the Year Award and I continue to pursue ECE opportunities that are unique and valuable.

I treasure these lifelong connections with families. It is what I truly love about this work.

We met with Denise and Amanda and we were so impressed with the facility, we signed our kids up right then and there. We love the variety of their education and how they move from classroom to classroom. We love Make Believe Boulevard (an indoor mini city where the kids can use their imagination to play, complete with a slide and ball pit), that Spanish is taught, they do learning bags on Fridays that the kids share an item of what they learned that week and hands down we both love the interactive LEAP Digital board and corresponding LEAP books. The teachers are amazing, very hands on and compassionate. Jelena and Liz in Toddler 2 class, our 2.5 year old absolutely adores. When we first started, we expressed how we wanted our then 2.5 year old potty trained, and within 1 week after attending there, she was. They were so patient and kind with the potty training our daughter took right to it. Corrie in the Pre-K class is so friendly and patient with the kids. Our 5 year old always came home with new songs or ideas she learned from Ms. Corrie. We were so impressed and just love all the staff there: Denise, Amanda, and Samantha at the front are super friendly and do whatever they can to accommodate your family (our youngest is in speech therapy). There are so many great things about this school and the wonderful teachers I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for quality care for your kids.

It only took me a day and a half to realize the standards of The Goddard school were not up to par. Terry Ann was condescending, rude and un-empathetic. Her staff simply did a poor job in taking care of our 3-month-old daughter. She came home with something black and sticky all over her neck, the same outfit she's gone to school in, despite it being drenched in slobber and her having 4 bibs and 3 changes of clothes in her cubby, a diaper rash, for the first time in her life due to poop and diaper cream still remaining from being changed at 10:30, when the last diaper cream was applied and 2 pm when the last BM was recorded, it was now 4 pm. Not to mention, when I asked the afternoon care provider how her day went, she only responded by saying our daughter hadn't slept much, she had nothing else to offer about her day. I get that I'm a first-time mom whose emotions were most definitely escalated but after all of that I would expect someone who owned a daycare to have more than just empathy. Unfortunately, the next day when I came in, Terry Ann had coached her staff to be over the top and nice to me, at which point made me feel even worse because it was clearly fake. When I met with Terry Ann, she boastfully asked how everything was when I dropped her off, to which I responded, "obviously better since they've been spoken with but that doesn't make me feel more secure about the level of care she will be receiving, you shouldn't have to coach people to try.", Terry Ann's response is what sealed the deal, "Would you like us to stop trying?" she said, are you kidding me? That is what the owner of a prestigious daycare decided would be an appropriate way to respond to a first-time mother of a 3-month-old baby, who has to go to work. Needless to say, as most mothers would be, I was distraught and came to pick up our daughter by 10:30 that morning. When I arrived, Terry Ann didn't even come out of her office to talk to me, she simply let the other woman in the office know that she would be giving me a full refund. To be clear, I didn't ask for a refund, I asked to cancel. If that isn't an admission of guilt, I don't know what is. To be fair, the only redeeming quality about The Goddard School that I found is Allison, the assistant director.

For the sake of transparency, my disclaimer is that I am writing this because I read a negative review and wanted to share my opinion (which isn't based on a single day's experience, but over 8 years with 3 different children and more than 8 classrooms and teachers). When we first brought our older kiddos to Goddard we were nervous about them being under someone else's care, but we realized quickly we had found the perfect place for them. The teachers have always been so sweet and caring, able to teach our kids from awesome curriculum while still maintaining a very personal connection with them. Every single day we get a report about what the kids learned and experienced, even including an action photo of them. Every day! The people who run the school behind the scenes are great. Terry Ann, Allison, and Melanie have always been wonderful to work with. They go above and beyond to make sure any of our questions or concerns are addressed immediately, and I have never felt like we are just a number to them. They have always seemed to operate in the mindset that their families could have chosen any preschool option in the area, so they make sure to let us know we are appreciated and our kids are valued. We are grateful for the impact the Goddard School in Fort Collins has had on our family, I'd give them 10 stars if that was an option.
