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.

Recent parent reviews
I have had two of my children in smart start. My oldest went from 2.5 years old until 5 years old when she moved to kindergarten. I now have my son in smart start who has been there for about 2 years now. We love it! We love the staff as well. They're always so neutering to my children and truly care about them. I couldn't have chosen a better place to send my kids. My kids thrive here! We plan to send our 3rd child here as well when he's able to start.
Kayla TostadoDec 18, 2020My daughter has been going to Smart Start for the past two years and she loves it! The teachers truly care about the children and love them as if they were their own. It was a hard decision to put my daughter back into daycare during the pandemic due to the unknown fears, but putting her back in and the steps Smart Start has taken to keep all the children safe have truly worked and makes me have peace when sending her to school.
