The Goddard School - Spring Garden, Philadelphia

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...

Our son has been treated like family here. The owners and staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

I cannot say enough great things about this Goddard school. Where do I even start - the staff! Just an incredible group of people who are always positive and cheerful. As a whole, the staff ensures all kids feel welcome and have a smooth transition to starting "school", plans fun activities, communicates well (posting pictures throughout the day), and accommodates working parents. I am always met with a "yes" to any request, phones are always answered, and every situation is handled appropriately (i.e if there is an illness going around). The facility itself is very clean with all toys, book, etc well kept and updated often. And most importantly, my son loves being there and has fun! A BIG kudos to the Spring Garden Goddard School in Philadelphia for being outstanding.

Great school and excellent staff they are all so nice and kind

Goddard Spring Garden has been a safe, caring, educational space for our little one over the past year. The teachers are excellent and he is so happy to go every day. Would highly recommend.

Incredible daycare leadership and teachers. Outstanding commitment to providing an enriching and supportive environment. We are so grateful we are able to send our daughter here. Also per our early intervention specialists, it’s an outstanding daycare. We love it here!

Our son has been at the Goddard School (Spring Garden) since he was six months old. We have had a wonderful experience and truly feel lucky that he has built relationships with such wonderful and caring teachers and friends during his time there. We have seen him flourish in the classes that he has been in through his time at Goddard, and we feel confident that he is safe and loved while in their care. We would not hesitate to recommend the school to other parents.
