The Special Education Integrated Preschool is the worst! Please take the time to look at other preschools before you put your child here. You will immediately see that Springhill Elementary, or wherever they moved the prek to is severely lacking in providing the appropriate environment for these children. Please send your chilld somewhere else!! People are not lying when they say Springfield is not a good school, expecially the special ed prek. The school is providing the bare minimum, or less than what is required at times. The teacher we had complained the whole time and was awful. She did not have the room set up for the kids to play and interract with each other. This teacher started everyday by telling the kids to pick a puzzle and sit at the table. How many times do kids need to do the same very simple puzzles?? The teacher also had the kids do puzzles at the end of the day when they should be doing an activity of their choice. This teacher was too overwhelmed with the kids to allow them to actually play on their own for very long. The teacher wanted the kids to mostly just sit at the table and do puzzles. There were babiy dolls for the kids locked away in a cabinet that was bungee corded shut. When the kids tried to play with the dolls the teacher would say no! You could find daycare better than this preschool class! Please send your child to a different preschool!! Any preschool is better than Springfield!!!! If you do send your child here you will be submitting them to just sitting at a table doing puzzles, or staring out into space because the teacher hasn't provided, or offered anything else for them to do. The teacher and other staff complain that they are understaffed also. Many professionals have said this teacher and the preschool are awful!!!! Please don't waste your child's preschool education on this school!! All the bad reviews, ratings, and word of mouth about Springfield is true! Don't send your child here!

Great school, amazing staff that goes above and beyond the call of duty for the children. Mrs. Ganzer, the principal, is a prime example of what a principal should be. Amazing school .......
