My Friends Discovery Center - Springfield, Illinois

As a first time mom, I was incredibly anxious about sending my infant to daycare when my maternity leave ended. My Friends Discovery Center really helped ease the transition.
Her teachers immediately made me feel like they would love her like their own while I was at work and always show care and concern for any issues I bring up. My heart ached to be away from my baby each day but I felt better knowing she was being taken care of by people who cared about her.
My daughter has an amazing time everyday and is always laughing and smiling at pick up time. She's excited to be there when we walk in each morning and I get picture updates occasionally which is just a highlight of my day each time.
I can't recommend MFDC enough especially if you are nervous to leave your child in the care of someone else. The facility is clean, well kept and each staff member I have spoken too is always friendly!

If you are looking into care for your little one- My Friends Discovery Center is an amazing place that has become a second home to our family. All three of our girls have started as infants and have excelled so much during their time at MFDC. We can’t thank the teachers and staff enough for all that they have done and do for our girls. They are truly passionate about what they do and adore the kids. You are such a blessing! We know every day after drop off, the girls are in great hands. It puts our minds at such ease while being away from them.

We have identical twins and yet the staff is able to tell them apart and greet the girls each by name every morning and evening! During the weekend, we will even find our girls acting like they are teachers at My Friends. My Friends Discovery Center is responsive, communicative, welcoming, and most importantly show so much love and care for the children. Thank you for all that you do! We love MFDC!!

My daughter has been attending my friends Discovery Center for close to four years now and as of tomorrow her last day. I can say nothing but great things about this daycare. As a parent if I were to ever have another child I would gladly send my children there. The entire staff is amazing. Great people, great environment, my daughter was extremely happy at this daycare.

MFDC is top notch! With 3 children from 2yrs - 14yrs, I have experienced a hand full of day care centers. MFDC is clean, organized, teachers are attentive. There is much family involvement. The atmosphere is respectful and positive. Teachers keep parents informed. I am proud to say my child attends My Friends Discovery Center. I would not recommend any other facility.

Absolutely loved working here! The staff and parents were absolutely amazing and easy to work with. The building is clean and safe. You’re kids will love being here that I can promise! Only thing is I recommend that if you’re child is vegan or vegetarian to pack their food because the options here aren’t much.

I have been to several day care centers and was terrified before I found My Friends Center. The toddler teachers where wonderful and my son loved it. I am only giving 4 stars because when he transitioned into pre-k class there has not been a actual steady teacher in his room and I feel like he isn't getting what the other classes are getting due to this. I wish they could keep someone in there like the other classes. However, I still am happy he is somewhere that is safe and well taken care of.

It is peanut-free. They make efforts to accommodate special situations as allowed by DCFS regulations, both dietary and medical conditions. It is clean and management is attentive to details.
