They say no one will love your babies like you do, but Smart Start is as close as you can get!…read moreSeriously, if I could give more stars I would (haha) I can not say enough great things about them. Being a nervous mother, it is so reassuring when your shy toddler is not only excited to go to school, but runs right up to the teachers in the mornings & is happy to start the school day Ms Trish is absolutely amazing, so kind & genuinely cares about each kiddo. I love how well they communicate as well as their security measures to keep every child safe. Both the inside of the facility & outside play yard are always clean & well maintained which I appreciate as well. I could write a novel of all the great things but to sum it up... if you're looking for a cozy, caring preschool/daycare for your precious little one, this is the place to go!

If I could give this preschool a million stars, I would! We…read morestarted looking for preschools for my son when he turned 2 and was told about Smart Start. When we went to tour the school, my son seemed instantly comfortable and didn't want anything to do with us which was how we knew this was the place for him. He was usually a Velcro child and we couldn't be further than an arms reach from him without him freaking out. The school is always VERY clean, decorated so nicely with kids artwork and so cute for holidays, and they have a sweet chicken that loves the kids! All of the staff is so sweet, patient, and understanding. My son had a hard time adjusting to not being home with me all day and was later diagnosed with autism and they never once made him feel less than. Instead, they were able to pick up on his needs like needing his schedule to stay the same, how to talk to him when he's doing something he shouldn't without him freaking out, and helped in his potty training journey. He is now almost 5 and aging out soon but I couldn't be more grateful for everything they have done for him. Our daughter is currently enrolled since she turned 18 months and everyday she comes home with new words (she just turned 2), loves the staff, and loves her friends and environment there. If you choose a preschool for your child , let it be this one, you won't be disappointed.

Before you decided to enroll you kiddos here you might want to make sure they meet the public…read moreschool or whatever school you plan on enrolling them in cut off dates for kindergarten & 1st grade. She will tell you that she keeps them thought Kindergarten & they will transition into 1st grade. Well,this is only true if you kiddo has a DOB that's before September 1st. If it's anytime after they will have to enroll as a kindergartner. Also kindergarten is not a requirement! Once they turn 6yrs of age they must be enrolled somewhere and the school district should have record of this. Pearlite isn't registered under the school district. It's License as a in home daycare ONLY. Do yourself a favor and enroll your kids in either a T-K program or Kindergarten. Plus all of the curriculum is old & out dated! She isn't t current on what kids are learning today, not much STEM going on more ABC's and lots of geography & songs back when people owned slaves!

A long long pending review…read more.. A big big Thank-you to miss Indira and her team for having a day care which is a Awe-some... she is such a humble and a positive person.... As my daughter turned 1 yr old, we started sending her to a different day care and for that entire one year she cried not even a single day missed. And the answer from that day care I use to rec was she will get use to it.. it was heartbreaking every time I use to drop off my daughter.. As soon as my daughter turned two, I started searching for a new day care.. and lucky me, my stars were shining and I landed in Pearlite house of children day care... had an initial talk with Miss Indira and the day one my daughter was smiling and giggling with her.. It was such a relief... Now at the age of 4, my daughter still goes to Miss Indira and everyday is a learning/ playing day for her.. Miss Indira take cares of her each day care kid as her own kid.. Everyday she communicates every single activity of the kid verbally to each parent.. she is such a owesome teacher.. and does her job with core heart.. Even though we haven't decided on our next kid but next daycare is final already.. Thank you So much Miss INdira!

I…read moreoften shop in the same shopping center where Tutoring Club is located, that's how I know about it. I called and spoke with Laurie, who was very helpful and welcoming. We met with Laurie and she explained how their program works and our daughter had an assessment done and she was able to review it with us and let us know what support our daughter needed. My husband and I were very happy with their method and the support they had to offer. Laurie reviewed how much the investment would be and the different options we had to pay. Which was very reasonable. Flexible schedule and accommodating. The best feeling I had was when my daughter came home after her first session and told me she felt good and safe their. After the distant learning and trying to get settled back in at school, my daughter was lost and felt all alone with her struggles. Tutoring Club is building her back up and giving her the support she needs. I highly recommend The Tutoring Club, a great investment for your child. Thank you .

Lucky Bear daycare is truly a gem in Brentwood. Our daughter has been with them even before we…read moremoved to Brentwood, and it is only with our family's moving out of the area, we are reluctantly parting with them. It is an absolutely wonderful facility for kids; be it the nutritious/delicious homemade meals and snacks made from scratch or the safe and spacious environment. This daycare is HIGHLY recommended. We will certainly miss Lucky Bear dearly.

We recently had to switch daycare providers and found that the newly opened Lucky Bear was very…read moreclose to our house. We loved our old place, but it was hard for the provider to reserve two spots for our kids considering that we only need help one day per week. After speaking with several providers in Brentwood, we decided between Lucky Bear and one other place. The one thing that made us reluctant to enroll here was that we were the first family to join. However, Alla was happy to provide us with professional references from her career as a teacher, and invited us to meet with her family for an extended interview. The home is perfectly set up; with a great play area outdoors and a big rotating selection of toys. The emphasis here is education, which is HUGE for my wife and I (especially since I am a teacher). Alla has a "school schedule" for the kids and tailors the curriculum to the appropriate ages. Our kids bring home cute crafts, learning materials (like study books that Alla has made for them), and they always eat well. Alla also cooks lunches with fresh and healthy ingredients. Aside from all of this, Alla is just great with kids. My kids adore her and ask about going to Alla's house often. Any parent can relate to how unnerving it is to leave their kids at a new place, but we highly recommend Lucky Bear for anyone looking for a small adult-child ratio and a positive and loving environment.

I almost don't want to write this review purely out of selfishness! After a bad experience at a…read moredifferent preschool, I was hesitant about placing my daughter into another one. A mom from karate class referred me to Mrs. Marlene and it has been the best referral I've ever received. There was an instant connection as soon as I spoke to her on the phone. She is a licensed daycare provider and also will prepare your child for kindergarten. My daughter started going to Imagination Preschool this year and she has learned so much! Yesterday we were at the store and she was picking up various products and telling me what shapes they were. I'm beyond impressed with her growth. She has truly blossomed. Mrs. Marlene is very old school. She does not have any online accounts. She does not even do online banking. She does not post photos of any children in her care. Any review of her online was created by a parent. She also has a graduation ceremony for the kids going into kindergarten with caps and gowns! I can honestly say, from day one, I have never worried while my daughter has been in her care. I can't rave about Mrs. Marlene enough. I'm from the Midwest and she is what we call, "good people."

By the time he was done, he was completely ready for Kindergarten. It's hard to believe he's going into 5th grade now!! Thank you, Miss Marlene, for getting my little guy ready for school!
