Springfield Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • This is the first daycare my daughter has been in. As a first time mom that was a stay at home mom too for the first almost 2 years of her life I had anxiety about sending my child off to be away from me for 8 hours a day. I took a tour and loved how clean and organized the school was so instantly jumped at the chance to get her in. Since she started she has loved it. I've had no worries about her being safe and cared for. She's made friends and loves her teachers.

  • The open lines of communication of what is happening day to day with our child. Understanding and helpful mindset to work with us to correct bad behavior and encouraging of the good behavior our child has in and out of school. Rotating curriculum to help keep our child engaged day to day and excited to be going to school.

  • Amazing leadership which reflects on the teachers. Everyone is so welcoming and truly cares for the wellbeing of their students. Kids love going to daycare which speaks volumes!

    Ryan's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • Our son is happy and is receiving excellent care. When I drop him off in the morning his smiles towards his caregivers makes realize that our decision to send him to the Goddard school was the best one we could have made. He has learned many different things and has grown more and more confident in what he can do, even at such a young age. They help him explore different things and are helping keep him on track for development.

  • Consistent care for my little one. The teachers are amazing and focus on making learning fun. More recently, changes have been great. Goddard is likely the best school in Springfield and I wish it went beyond preschool.

  • We started at the very end of December and have loved our time so far. Everly LOVES her teachers and time at the school. She always had a big smile when we arrive in the morning. It’s so nice to be able to get live updates on how she is doing throughout the day with her naps/eating. I always wait eagerly to see what photos are going to be sent during the day!

  • Everything from the friendly and efficient staff, cleanliness of building, the lesson plans and subjects being taught although my favorite thing is the daily reports with pictures. The minute u walk through the door u can sense the dedication to the childrens wellbeing and safety. Best learning experience in the Springfield area.

  • We like the varied activities and lessons for Charlie. It’s fun to see her apply things she learned at school to things we’re doing at home. She is so excited when she explains things she’s learned to us. My favorite was her explaining that when leaves fall to the ground it’s because of gravity. She actually said “yay!” about going to school on a Monday, which is just about the most positive thing to come out of 2020!
