So grateful for Smart Start Academy! It’s a wonderful resource for Emmett and I feel confident dropping my little one of there. The teachers are always knowledgeable and the communication is above and beyond.
Ashley OsmialowskiJan 30, 2026We've had a very positive experience with Smart Start this year. My daughter loves all of the teachers. They are communicative and friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great preschool experience.
Edith CrawfordJan 30, 2026Smart Start Academy has been absolutely wonderful for my daughter. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, and they always communicate with me if there are any concerns or updates about how she’s doing. I truly appreciate how they take the time to work through things with her rather than brushing issues aside. When my daughter was struggling with sensory sensitivity to classroom noise, they were so understanding and supportive. They gave her choices and allowed her to spend time in a quieter area with learning activities when she needed it, which made a huge difference for her comfort and confidence. They also offer so many fun field trips and engaging activities, along with learning materials to take home like books and toys. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children and their individual needs. I’m very grateful for the love and support they provide.
Jerusha ForsbergJan 30, 2026We have so enjoyed our experience with our children at Smart Start Academy! The staff go above and beyond to provide a safe, welcoming and fun environment for these little ones to learn and explore. They especially loved all the new songs, books and crafts they were exposed to as well as the planned field trips in our community. A big thanks to all the staff for caring about our kids and teaching them things to prepare not only for kindergarten but also for success in life! We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful preschool experience.
Shaylee CalawayJan 29, 2026Our family absolutely loves Smart Start Academy! We’ve had the wonderful experience of sending two of our daughters through their program, and we’re excited to enroll our third daughter this year. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about every single child—they truly light up when they see the kids learning and growing. It’s clear that they don’t just teach; they care deeply and create a nurturing environment where children thrive. We’ve seen so much progress in our girls’ social skills, confidence, and early learning thanks to their dedicated approach. We couldn’t ask for a better preschool experience and highly recommend Smart Start Academy to any family looking for a loving, high-quality program!
Brandi BarkerJan 26, 2026Smart Start has been better for my daughter than I could have imagined! She truly has blossomed- socially, emotionally and educationally. They put some much thought and effort into each day with projects, songs, reading, play and crafts. My daughter comes home satisfied and fulfilled. Ms. Brown and her team are caring, compassionate, and motivated. They always are thinking of new creative things and activities and go above and beyond by decorating the classroom for their specific theme that they’re learning or holiday celebrations and more! We have been so happy and would absolutely recommend them!
