My both children have attended Springfield Academy since they were a few months old. I never had have any issues and have been always well taken care of. Their best asset is their caregivers. Very sweet and caring women. My kids loved them. The facilities could use some improvement but I am more focused on trusting who I leave my child with and they are just extremely caring and kind.

We absolutely love Springfield Academy! Our experience has been nothing short of amazing. The staff are warm, professional, and truly care about the kids. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and reassured knowing our child was in such good hands. The communication is excellent — we get regular updates and pictuees, which we really appreciate. We love the Nursery 3 teachers, they truly have been so kind. Our son has grown so much socially and developmentally since starting here — he comes home happy and excited every day to go back. You can tell Springfield Academy puts a lot of heart into what they do. We're so grateful to have found them and highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive place for their child. Unfortunately it is pretty far from our home so we are having to switch based on new circumstances.

An amazing private school and daycare practice. All the staff knew all of the students, it is a very close-knit school. Academics are leagues ahead of public schools. My kid is in 2nd grade in public school and is covering items she learned here in Kindergarten. The summer camp and extracurriculars are well rounded and inclusive as well. I love the school is non denominational. We plan to return next year after clearing our tab :)

We looked at over 15 daycares in the area and landed on Springfield academy and haven’t looked back since. We love the teachers and the administration. They treat your kid like it’s their own and they are very organized. We are so happy we found them

One of my co workers recommended me to go to Springfield Academy as a summer program. It was more than I hoped for : very organized , have activities scheduled every day and field trips every Friday. My kids loved loved it and specially my 5 year old couldn’t talk more about his teacher .
