Both of our daughters have attended Smart from the Start and have had amazing teachers! Our youngest daughter who is still there has Ms Enid and Ms Jocelyn and loves them! They are so warm, caring and extremely patient. They make her feel so loved. They are also incredibly organized and have wonderful lessons planned for their class. She really thrived and grown so much since joining the red room. She has also learned quite a bit of Spanish from their class. They do a great job communicating how she is doing, and update us with many pictures and videos that always show the kids having so much fun together. You can tell that Ms Enid and Ms Jocelyn love what they do, and love their students, which makes us to feel extremely comfortable leaving our daughter in their care. We feel so lucky to have found a great second home for our daughter.

My nephew attended this daycare since he was a newborn until he graduated preschool. It was a great place to have my nephew grow and learn. I was able to still be part of his day with Brightwheel. The school adds family members and I will get pictures, videos and get to know all the fun things he was doing. I recommend this place to everyone. The staff were always so nice and welcoming.

Love this day care! My son has been here since he was 1year old. Teachers and staff are amazing! Caring, friendly and very respectful and professional. My son is currently in the yellow room with Ms. Angeles and Ms. Maria and they do an amazing job. The director Ms. Jenifer and Ms. Alondra are always helpful with any question or concerns we have. Thank you all for the amazing job you do with the kids! It feels great to drop off my son in a great environment. Keep up the great work! 😊

We switched from another daycare to Smart From the Start about a year ago and they were so helpful with the transition for both our our children. The teachers are wonderful! They work together, so it seems like all of the teachers know all of the students. Right now, my youngest is in Ms. Nancy, Ms. Miriam and Ms. Leslie's class, and my oldest is with Ms. Maria and Ms. Angeles. I'm always impressed with the amount of updates they make on the brightwheel app. They tell us about their activities, send tons of pictures/videos, and let us know immediately if there are any issues. They keep the kids very active and engaged. They have yoga, sign language, music and soccer classes every week, in addition to their regular lessons that are always very interactive. I think it's very beneficial that most, if not all of the teachers speak Spanish. It's great to hear my kids developing their language skills in both English and Spanish. I love the thoughtful, homemade mother's/father's day and holidays gifts they create with the kids! Overall, I'm so impressed with how much my children have grown academically and socially. In addition, the staff goes above and to host family events multiple times a year (and after their regular hours) with crafts, activities, and snacks. I love the community atmosphere and appreciate all they have done to help care for my kids. We couldn't be happier!

My kids LOVE this daycare. I have 3 kids , twin girls and a 1 year old. My one year old has been with Ms. Teresa since he was 4 months old and he loves going in and seeing her. He hit all his milestones on time and I have them to thank for that as he is there most of the day. My twin girls started to go to smart from the start at the age of 2 and they have loved it ever since. They look forward to going everyday. They have evolved so much since and continue to do so everyday. Thank you to smart from the start and all their teachers and staff.
