- MDMichael DeRafelo4 days ago5.0My wife and I cannot truly express how great Goddard School Chester Springs has been to our daughter and family. Our daughter has been enrolled there since she was 3 months old and is now 3 1/2 years old. Goddard and all of it's employees have been wonderful in creating a safe and clean environment to promote healthy learning and behaviors. Any time that we had a question or concern about anything, Goddard has been responsive and transparent. They have a been accommodating to our scheduling requests as well. We will be enrolling our second child in a couple of months. We cannot say enough good things about Goddard Chester Springs!

- ANAndrea NeffNov 12, 20255.0We are thrilled with the changes and stability that has been created within our son’s school, especially under the new ownership. The staff is so incredible and we truly feel our son flourishes because of his time at Goddard. The appreciation towards the staff, the constant events involving parents, safe environment, incredible communication, and so much more are everything we could ask for in a preschool for our child. We are so grateful for the Goddard School in Chester Springs being a place we know our son is cared for each and every day. Thank you all!
- DMDanielle MastromattoNov 11, 20255.0We absolutely love it here at Goddard Chester Springs. We were so nervous to put our son in daycare when he was 6 months old, but the infant room team (Amanda and Olivia) helped ease our fears almost instantly. We received soooo many pictures and updates throughout the day. I always knew when he was napping, how much he ate, when they changed his diaper. It literally felt like I was with him all day long. Now he’s transitioned to the First Steps classroom and he is thriving. He absolutely loves Kylea, like doesn’t want to leave her side kind of love! I know he’s happy, safe, and well taken care of. There’s no better feeling than knowing you have the best team taking care of your child when you can’t and I feel so lucky to have found Goddard Chester Springs.
