Smart Starts Day Schools

We recommend that you visit and judge for yourself. Don’t get misguided by the opinion of so few. Smart Starts has been caring for preschool children for over 15 years. That easily adds up to close to 15,000 preschoolers who have been cared and educated by wonderful and caring staff. The preschools are accredited and filled with happy children, staff, and parents. Come see for yourself!

This school would be great if it wasn’t for the director of this location! She sells one thing during the tour and once you’re enrolled she’s a completely different person! Her son was in the same class as my sons and he was always getting preferential treatment over the other kids, always being carried, getting all of the teachers attention! During the school tour I was told my son would get «homework» which I looked forward to very much because I felt it was something we could do together after I got off work, in the month he was there he only received homework once! All the work he did while he was at the school (paintings and such) was supposed to be given to me weekly! I never received one piece of artwork until the last day he was there!
I do have one positive thing, the teachers and staff in early care were amazing and very caring of my son! Always greeted us with a smile and open arms!
The director would not even look at me nor my mother who would pick up my son… All only because we told her how we felt and how we thought all kids should be treated equally… Not her son getting all the attention. She even went the extent of telling my mom that they took extra care of my son so he won’t get hurt because of «the way we are»… Shouldn’t all kids be cared for so that they don’t get hurt? I believe I’m paying so that I have the peace of mind that I’m leaving my son in a place where I know he’s well taken care off, I didn’t want special treatment for my son, I just wanted all kids to be treated with the same care and attention as the directors son!

This school is truly horrific.
Two of my children were enrolled. Within 3 months they were enrolled into a new school. Below, are just a Few of the disappointments our family experienced at this school.
The school Claims to be bilingual, a benefit to all children! This however, is not the case. The staff only speaks Spanish and could not communicate with my 1 year old for anything (food, restroom, etc).
My 3 month old came home with bruises and a lump on his head. When I threatened to file a police report they insisted they would investigate themselves and figure out the problem. Despite having cameras «no one knew» the cause. Unacceptable!
Upon withdrawing my children from the school the property manager apologized for the lack of English speaking teachers despite their advertisements and promises made during the school tour.
We were never refunded over $ 300 in uniform fees, for uniforms which were never received (as they were mysteriously always on back order). I spoke to Maria at Corporate multiple times. She eventually stopped returning my calls regarding the refund.
Save yourself the horrible experience and poor customer service.

Has to be one of the best schools ever! This school has been a blessing for me and my children. The teachers are amazing and so caring, they treat your child like a child and not just a kid in their class. They call when they are out to find out if they are ok. I leave them everyday knowing they are in good hands. The curriculum is advanced and my children have learned so much! I can’t express how grateful I am that I found this school! Thank you smart starts for your dedication, love and lifelong lessons that we will carry with us forever!

120 location: Horrible preschool and management! Parents, please do some research, read reviews and look for others preschools, plenty of good preschools out there, where your child will be safe and actually learning something. I was forced to remove my 3 year old son because the school did not follow the Discipline/​Termination Policy after my son was bitten 7 times by another child (all with written reports by the teacher), and the same child had bitten for a total of more than 20 times in a 10 kids class and the school did nothing about it, they did not care about my son or his safety, I even spoke to the Director of all Smart Starts because the school director didn’t really care about the problem and they refused to transfer the child or remove him from the school, totally going against their discipline policy, very bad management. I decided to take my son out of the school and I was never giving any refund for the remaining of the month or registration fees, but I’m glad I did it, now my son is in a school where he’s safe and actually learning because in smart start they don’t teach it’s just a horrible daycare
