I have used this provider for more than 6 months
We have been using Smarty Pants for the past 4.5 years and have been very happy with the level of care and attention provided by the teachers. Our child is sometimes sad to leave in the afternoon and looks forward to seeing teachers and friends each morning. This has always comforted us to know they are comfortable here and that it is a safe place where adults are treating kids properly. We also love that they aren't just babysitting all day; they actually teach things and do activities with the children to help them learn and grow. We will be sad to say goodbye when it's time to go to Kindergarten, but are thankful for the care provided over the years that has prepared our little one for the future!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months
I recently had to make a daycare change and was lucky enough to find Smarty Pants. We could not be more happy to have found this amazing facility. The director, Ms. Nyesha and staff instantly embraced our family and have made our mid year transition seamless. My almost 3 year old is very shy and reserved and it takes her a while to warm up to most new faces. To my surprise, she has this has not been the case as she has quickly become comfortable in her new school. Her teacher, Ms. Leah has been so supportive and loving. My daughter used to object to going to her previous daycare everyday (which is also a wonderful school). As we’ve made the transition to Smarty Pants she objected less and yesterday when we pulled into the parking lot she said, “ I go my new school, Mama” as a parent your first concern is that your child is safe and then you hope they are happy. I can not express my gratitude enough to this amazing humans that are keeping my little one safe and happy!

This daycare is Ghetto!!! I went to visit the school as a option being in the downtown area. It has a smell and the teachers DO NOT look up to par as far as their appearance. I did not get a good feeling from this daycare. Not all of the children we being supervised, all of them had untied shoes, runny noses. Not a good place for my child...Find another option.
