The Goddard School - Spring Garden, Philadelphia

As a new mom, your biggest concern is releasing your child into a new place and new people. How will your child respond and will they adjust to a new environment? My daughter began the Goddard at three months and her teachers are nothing but amazing. They are nurturing, loving and kind to my daughter. It’s something when you’re on the other side of the door and you hear songs being sung and you peek in and stories being read. A gentle hug and good morning makes me so comfortable to leave my child in their hands. Their communication with my husband and I is top tier and they have helped me so much on this journey. We are so grateful for our daughter to have them as teachers as they continue to help her grow and develop.

We absolutely love the Goddard School Spring Garden! It’s so well run, the teachers are amazing, and have created such a warm and welcoming community. The other families are so kind and helpful too. We’ve absolutely loved our first couple of months and feel so grateful to be part of this wonderful school.

My daughter attends this school and I am so glad she is here. The staff are family and are a major part of the success of raising my daughter!

The Goddard School at Spring Garden in Philadelphia took such great care of our daughter. The teachers and staff were warm, friendly and engaged throughout her time there. Their communication was clear and consistent. We loved seeing the daily photos, videos and reports so that we could keep up with her experience. We highly recommend the Goddard School!

Teachers are wonderful and really interested in my child’s growth and development. Staff is friendly and always willing to work us.

Great staff and ownership. Our son loves his teachers.

We’ve had a great experience at Goddard! The teachers & staff are caring, professional, and attentive, making the transition to daycare seamless for our family.

We can see our child learning and growing every day, and we love the variety of activities offered at such a young age, including arts, music, and physical play (and more). There’s a strong sense of community among staff and families, and we’re proud to be part of it!

We simply could not have dreamed of a better child care experience than what this school provided. Our son has been at 3 daycares - all highly rated - and Goddard Spring Garden is by far the best. The teachers are incredible and their genuine passion about nurturing children is evident. Ms Cassie, Ms Kina, Ms Angie, Ms Evelyn, Ms Jane, Ms Imani, Ms Ronnie and others have provided a wonderful environment for our son to learn and grow. This location does a fantastic job recruiting and retaining the best of the best. The on site owner Ms Cassie, along with Ms Cierra and Ms Tyra, have created a fun, safe and truly special place that our son was so excited to go to everyday. Unlike other schools, the administration was hands on in a way that made it feel much more personal than like a business. It feels like everyone there truly cares about your child which gave us such peace of mind as...

My daughter has attended Goddard Spring Garden for over a year now. We don’t live in the neighborhood, but the school came highly recommended by a friend so we gave it a try. Having no prior experience with daycares I was nervous for my child and didn’t know what to expect. The owners and staff were equally as supportive and comforting to me as they were to my daughter in those early days 😅.
Security and cleanliness here are excellent. Love the “curriculum” - some of the daycares we toured felt more like babysitting vs an actual learning experience.
The teachers that I’ve encountered are nurturing and have a real understanding of childhood development. In the last year they played an important role in my daughter achieving major developmental goals like speech and potty training.
Lastly, I feel that our family is truly seen by the staff. Any time there has been a...
