About the Provider

Description: Learning and development are emphasized at Smart Start Academy. We keep little minds, hands and bodies busy in many ways. Our goal is to help them to feel independent, learn how to be courteous to adults and other children, and to be fascinated by the world around them. When a child has a strong self-esteem and a lively curiosity as a result of a good home life and day care experience, then he/she will be eager and able to take on the challenges of school.



We have many separate classes that allow children to feel comfortable in a group setting with children their own age and/or development level.

Additional Information: Quality Rating: 1; After School Care Available;

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

If I could give no stars, I would. Aside from the infant room being fantastic with my youngest, the preschool rooms are absolutely terrible. Not only did my son have bruise on his arms constantly as if someone was being forceful with him but his glasses came home broken with ZERO explanation or phone call on what happened. The thing that sent me over the edge was that he came home wearing TWO DIRTY pull ups at the same time. The amount of effort that had to be taking to not rip either pull us disgusting. The director had been made aware of the incident but did nothing about it. This daycare is terrible and does not deserve any business. Unless you are buddy buddy with someone that works there, they don’t care about your child.
