What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

My daughter is going to be 3, and she loves this place. Everyone is so sweet and kind. The second week that my daughter been there, she said “let’s go home” which she means the school.
Sereyrath KeoJan 23, 2026Absolutely love this place! Super friendly staff, clean place, they take care of your kids! Both my kids went there. 100% recommend
Mery MSAug 16, 2022An absolutely wonderful place to care for your children. The facility is clean and bright with staff who are obviously very passionate about what they do. Prices are incredibly fair for the level of care given to the kids. All classrooms are equipped with cameras which I loved at the beginning; it really helps if your child hasn't been away from you very often. My daughter has attended here since August & we are so sad to leave Smart Start Academy. That said, she has a firm educational foundation thanks to these lovely folks!
JessicaFeb 19, 2022Best preschool, pre-k, and daycare you'll find in the high desert. Friendly reliable staff, safe clean facility, and present and aware owners who are courteous and involved with business, staff, and parents!
Nick VernonMar 4, 2020My son will be graduating here next Friday, he has been here for almost 3 years! I have nothing but the best to say about this school. My son is beyond ready for kindergarten and I will miss everyone here very much. I feel like they have become part of my family. I wouldn't have had my son go anywhere else. Thank you smart start for everything!
Brenda LopezJun 6, 2018Chad and Melissa are awesome. Mrs. Terry is a great teacher! My sons have been going to SmartStart for the last two years. They love it. I especially love that they have cameras in every room in case you want to check in on your kiddos. The facility is very clean and organized. Academic lessons and behavior expectations are taught every day. I've seen so much improvements since my kids have started attending.
