This Center has a well rounded Staff, a clean and safe facility. I was really impressed with there S.T.E.M curriculum and daily activity schedule. The owners are impressive and their focus is educating the children that's what I like the most!
Excellent Center. Staff friendly, owners are really passionate about serving children and family needs. I was impressed and would recommend to anybody. Thanks SCCLC for caring for my grand children.
My children goes to this center. They are family oriented and the staff is nice. The owners are always available and easy to talk too.
I was searching for quality childcare centers when I came across Smart Choice Childcare Learning Center. When I called to schedule a tour at the facility the office manager was nice and friendly. She explain a summary of the program over the phone and encourage me to check out the facility before making any decision to make sure it is a perfect fit. The office manager also informed me that when I do come in I would be meeting with the family coordinator who will go over everything in detail. When I walked into the facility I was so impressed with how clean the facility was and how organized the environment was in the classroom. They follow a daily schedule which I thought was simply amazing and on top of that the staff was on the floor teaching at the kids level and were so involved. When I met with the owners the thing they kept driving home was we put our children needs first here at Smart Choice. I was ready to sign my 3 children (Infant,Toddler, and a School-Age) up but their infant room was full and I always like to keep my children together. I would definitely recommended this Center which I told them when space becomes available please let me know.Great Center, Excellent Staff, one of the best programs I've ever come across.
This place don’t have updated toys or learning materials for children. The ratio is always incorrect there is numerous teens employed here who don’t no how to interact with children doesn’t even smile when u bring your child in. The owners are very unprofessionl the husband will not get back to you in time when your calling about your child. The wife talks to the employees like trash and she can’t help but to raise her voice when she’s taking to one of the teachers and confidentiality often is broken bc they discuss the children and their business with family and friends. the wife has her daughter with no experience working there it’s sad in here
