I just enrolled my third, and youngest child in Start Smart Preschool's program, to start in the…read morefall. I cannot imagine sending my children anywhere else?! My Eldest child is on the Autism Spectrum, and Miss Jolynne made it possible for me to mainstream my daughter in pre-school. Every day, I wish that Miss Jolynne were a teacher in the public school system! Of all the grade-school teachers my daughter has had, Miss Jolynne has been the one that has best cared for my special-needs child. There was a lot of genlte-encouragement, on Miss Jolynne's part. And at the end of two years, Miss Jolynne had prepared my daughter to enter Kindergarten. My middle child is finishing up her second year at Start Smart Preschool. Middle child is pretty typical, and she has done very well at Start Smart too. I feel like she's ahead of the game, thanks to the tactics Miss Jolynne emlploys. Miss Jolynne uses a lot of repetition to help the kids learn the alphabet, and the corresponding sounds that each letter makes. There are different "Units" that are focused on each month, like: number units, color units, weather units, and so on... The age-appropriate academia is perfectly balanced with Social/"Fun" time too. The kids get free-play. And Miss Jolynne plans excellent field trips. Also, the kids participate in Pre-school programs, twice a year! Another "edge" that Start Smart Preschool has over other, local, preschools is that it is 2.5 hours long; as opposed to the usual 2 hours. The 3-year-old class meets Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 12:15PM-2:45PM. And the 4 year old class meets Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 9AM-11:30AM. I think that having preschool consecutive days is genius! It helps the kids get used to going going to school several days in a row. I haven't found another preschool that better preps children to enter Kindergarten, than Smart Start does. Start Smart Preschool's enrollment period starts at the beginning of January, for the following academic year. And believe me, this preschool is "in demand" so, get your precious little-one signed up as soon as registration opens up.

When I first took my daughter who was 1 then, it took her 2 weeks to settle and the staff remained gentle and patient, even gave me some pointers to break her into the daycare schedule. I believe you would love it but above all, you're babies would love it!

I am very sad to see this place under the management of Amanda G., she has no heart, and will look for any excuse or misunderstanding to place the blame on your child. DO NOT LET SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS GO HERE, they do not have to people trained for these children. I caught them in lies, and my children would come home with bruises that they wouldn't explain. It is very sad, because this place used to be so good, and now it is horrible. We were forced to have our kids go to this school because they refused to run the school buses after using covid as an excuse. No to mention they dropped us for months during Covid with no warning. Other daycare did not close, but they will leave you in the lurch at a moments notice. This review is not from having my children here a week or two, I have had my children here for years, and I am sad to see this once great and caring daycare become what it has today. I have to move my children in the middle of the year right before Christmas break, and all three of my children have cried because they are going to miss their teachers, and friends. If they really loved your children like they claim they do, would they do this horrible thing to them? If you really love your children, don't do this to them ether. Go somewhere else.

DO NOT TRUST THE GOOGLE REVIEWS THEY GET THE HONEST *bad* ONES DELETED…read more It took me a while to fully process what happened while at this daycare, I worked here for several years. I also brought my child to work with me. Nothing was handled correctly, and honestly I still find that ridiculous. When my son was just a few months old, he was given the wrong medication, and way too much of it. Nothing was done, I had to threaten to quit for anything to be done. In which my son was moved into my classroom, the teacher who gave him the wrong medication/dosage wasn't given any training on medication, wasn't fired, literally got 0 repercussions. She was very LUCKY nothing happened to my infant and he threw up all the medication he was given. My son was treated very horribly by everyone at this center, nothing was ever done about it. The day before his last day at the daycare, another teacher, Dylan, did not change his diaper at all that day. When I arrived home his pants were COVERED in poop, his diaper was literally falling off. I went to them with my concerns again to be blown off. *I have PROOF of all of this* So much more happened as well. I've seen some crazy things while working here. All this abuse to my child was while I was THERE! Because of this center I will never trust another daycare ever again. This was honestly the worst experiences I've ever went through. It took a lot for me to tell my story, which I'm sure will be deleted, tends to happen. Hence all the great reviews and none of the bad ones. If you choose to go here PAY ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING! mike, PLEASE TAKE ME OFF YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE! I've tried ever since I left, it won't let me. I suggest taking me off of it. Imma keep redoing my review, until you leave it up. My voice and my experience deserves to be heard. Also remove me from the website thanks.
