I have used this provider for more than 6 months

SMART START HEAD START, the name says it all, the place is clean and very well organized, there daily schedule is for everyone to see and know what there kids do while they are there. The teacher has a fun way of teaching with music and dancing, she takes her time in teaching each child individually, what I love the best is that she has total control, you will never see a child on TIME OUT, they love her because understands and takes her time to speak to them. By the way they feed the kids healthy food, my son has learned to eat lot's of fruits and vegetables.
