Recent parent reviews

  • Not enough good things can be said about SSA, we only left cause we moved out of state, our son went to the toddler and infant room, teachers are amazing, specially in the toddler classroom, my boy was happy, nurtured, taught and loved. I highly doubt we’ll ever find a place better than this.

  • Although we have moved, I cannot tell you how long lasting the memories have been for our little one. I did so much research to find this daycare, and to this day, our 3 year old still talks about them. They were family and are truly missed. I think it has also set a high level of standard not only for me but for our son. He now knows how teachers/educators/adults should be and that's his level of expectation.

  • My daughter has been attending Smart Start since she was 9 months old, and will be turning 4 this year. We absolutely love this school!! The staff here are very professional and through, especially more so since the pandemic. They ensure my daughter is safe at all times. We consider them as our second family. My daughter has grown and excelled in ways we could not have imagined. We would recommend this place to any family.

  • My 3 yo is super happy here. He is going to this child center second year in a row and we all simply love it. The teachers really care about the kids and they do their best. My son has some developmental problems so they are doing everything they can to help around him. I am truly relieved to know that my child is in good hands. Honestly I recommend Smart Start Academy to anyone who is in need of help. They are amazing.

What ages does SMART START ACADEMY accept?

Illinois licenses SMART START ACADEMY for children 6 weeks to 12 years during the day, with a licensed day capacity of 76. The span is what the licence permits, not a statement of which ages have places free.

What languages are spoken at SMART START ACADEMY?

The licence record lists English. That is what the provider reported to the state, not a guarantee that a speaker is on site at every hour.

Does this page show inspection results for SMART START ACADEMY?

No. Illinois publishes monitoring and licensing reports going back to 2010 through Sunshine at sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov.
