Make Way For Ducklings 455 Island Pond Road, Springfield, MA 01118

"Great teachers and loving atmosphere for our most precious kids. I sent my daughter there 23 years ago. I thought it was great then and it's even better now. I would highly recommend this preschool to get your child off to a successful start for school."

"Honestly the best investment you could ever make for your young children and worth every penny. Every teacher and staff member here are incredible. They go above and beyond for the children and care so much for each one of them individually. Somehow the amazing director always seems to find the very best educators for little people. Many of which have been there for years but the newer staff members are just as wonderful. My boys, now 9 and 7 both attended for several years and we are now back for our third child. If you are in the area and looking for a preschool, this is the absolute best place for your child to thrive socially, academically, and emotionally in their early years."

"All three of our children currently attend Make Way For Ducklings and we love it. The director and teachers work so hard making it a loving learning environment. Each month is full of activities to keep the kids interested. It’s been a huge positive in our family’s life. We cannot recommend this school enough."

"We are SO happy that we chose Make Way For Ducklings for our daughter's preschool year. Her teacher and all the helpers are teaching her so much, and we can see her flourishing after just one month at Ducklings. Everyone is so friendly - it's a real family environment. We can't wait to pick her up every day and hear all about what a great day she had. Kudos to Ms. Rachel for running an outstanding school. We highly recommend Ducklings to anyone looking for a preschool to prepare your child for Kindergarten."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Make Way for Ducklings. From the moment I met Ms. Rachel and toured the school, I knew this was the place for my family and there was no going back. I often describe it to family and friends as magical. My twins have learned and grown in ways I never would’ve expected - from their letters and numbers, to being a kind friend, to learning how to put on and even zipper their own coats. I love all of the projects and activities they do. Every single day at least one teacher (many of whom my children have never even had as a main teacher!) tell me how valued my children are there. It is the preschool experience I dreamed of for my kids and more!"
