Staff Biographies

Sara Shriver - Manager

I have been working in child care for over 20 years in one capacity or another. I was formerly a director at a charter school for 13 years and decided to spend more time with my family and 4 weiner dogs.

I started as an assistant director in June for Rock Ridge then got the opportunity to come work for Lynette at Pioneer, I’m super excited for this new adventure.

I am a single mom of one wonderful son and 4 weiner dogs that are all sassy. I have recently bought a house and moved my elderly parents up to live with us.

My son and I are HUGE Colorado Avalanche fans.

GO AV”S!!!!

Braiden Ames - Program Aide

I am 20 years old and graduated from Ponderosa High school in 2020. I played lacrosse for 12 years and was the captain of the varsity team for three years before graduating high school. After that I also attended Colorado Mesa University for a year before deciding to start working and eventually go back to school to get my teaching degree in history. Working with kids has also been a big part of my life because I am the oldest child in my family.
