Finding a preschool/daycare that met our needs at a reasonable price was difficult until I went to an open house at Smart Start Academy. This center is beautifully decorated and well-lit, the small teacher and child ratio is great, and the teachers are very understanding and nurturing. My son loves going to school and is learning so much! As a parent it feels great to know that my son is being well taken care of and is having fun. I highly recommend this academy for parents that are looking for a professional, loving, and creative environment for their children. Thank you Ms. Cesia and Staff!

If you are looking for a child care center or VPK center, look no furthr. Ms. Melissa, Ms. Titi, and the rest of the Team at Smart Start are amazing, wonderful, and caring. They had a 100% passing rate of the children now in kindergarten from their VPK last year. Each teacher at this center truly loves and cares about every childs well being. They grow each child through teaching, not only academics, but love, respect and fun. I could NOT imagine either of my girls (3yo & 4 yo) going to another center. I thank God everyday for this school and the teachers there!

My 3 year old daughter has completed a full year at Smart Start Academy and I must say I'm very impressed with this school. My daughter not only has learned her alphabets, and how to read but also had gain the confidence she always lacked. Its priceless what this preschool has done for my daughter. I know as a parent it is very hard to trust anyone with your child but they are awesome. I recommend this school to everyone! It's worth a look and they are reasonable price. The school is so beautiful and the staff is not only well trained but also are very kind and friendly.

I can't say enough good things about the staff. They are kind and patient. Miss Cesi the Director is extremely accessible and responsive. The communication with parents is excellent. When my husband's schedule changed unexpectedly, they immediately stepped in and were able to accommodate our need for more hours. My daughter has also had some set-backs with potty training, and Miss Cesi and the staff have been so great with working with her to help get her back on track.
This place is a little unknown gem, but I have a feeling it won't be for long. I'm just happy that I got in on the ground floor!

My husband and I toured every daycare and preschool in our area, and chose Smart Start. We're in our second year, and our daughter loves it. She comes home with all kinds of great projects, and talks about her friends and what's she's learned. We all love the director "Miss Cesi," she's smart, kind, and very dedicated to the school.They use the Reggio-Emilia approach to preschool education, which translates to students leading the learning. They cover the basics (colors, numbers, letters, etc.) but when our daughter asked where bread came from, they also spent a day learning about bread and how to make it. There was another boy who loved peacocks, so they spent a day learning about and making paintings of peacocks. For Father's Day, they made a "Father's Day First-Aid Kit" -- a box with all kinds of fun things for their dads to look at and play with when they miss their kids. There is also Spanish time each day, where they work on learning Spanish vocabulary. We're very, very, happy, and highly recommend this school.

I have only wonderful things to say about the school and staff. My son loves attending and I see him learning new things all the time. The teachers are very friendly and personable. They even potty trained him in about two weeks. I would absolutely recommend this school.

We moved our 4-year-old here from another preschool and were much happier. The school has a warm atmosphere, and the kids get a lot of individual attention. The space is also very nice - they have multiple rooms, so they can split up the older and younger kids
