  • We have been at Smart Start for the past 8 years with our kids. This school sets the kids up for success transitioning to kindergarten. There is a lot of time outdoors each day (they have a great outdoor space with woods and outdoor learning classroom). The school shares pictures and updates daily in the app. Hands down, the teachers are the best! They truly care about each of the kids. One of our kids was struggling with speech and they worked directly with us and helped us partner with the Stillwater Early Childhood Center.

  • We recently changed daycares after the birth of our second child. Our oldest was struggling at the previous daycare. Since switching to smart start our son has grown and blossomed in development. Both of our children have done great here and love the staff. As parents we feel respected in our parenting choices as well as feel that the teachers work with us as a team. Would highly recommend Smart start to friends with young kids!

  • My 5-month-old started in the infant room 2 months ago and we have been beyond happy with our experience so far. The teachers and admin staff very obviously love the work they do, and care for my little girl as if she's their own. The babies participate in different sensory activities everyday. We appreciate that our daughter is not just plopped in a plastic chair with flashing lights and sounds, but instead is presented with a variety of materials that actually stimulate learning. Finger painting, exploring what the inside of a pumpkin feels like, little flashlight shadow forts, slippery noodle play.... amazing! Very grateful to be a part of the Smart Start family. Thank you for all you do to make us parents feel at ease. :)

  • Smart start child learning center is a phenomenal business. All of the employees are so wonderful and caring. I feel so comfortable dropping my son off each morning who is all smiles walking in to have a fun day with friends. How they operate this business shows such strength and character in how they value each family that attends Smart Start. I’m so glad they are able to continue to grow through new locations so more families can receive the upmost care for their little ones. Thank you so much SmartStart!!! Xoxo

  • My 2 daughters have been going to smart start for a little over a year now and absolutely love it! Lori has been so good to us and each and every staff member plays such an important roll in the children’s learning. Thankful for such a great place for my children to go. :)

  • We have sent both of our children to smart start since they were 3 months old. Gina and the entire smart start staff love the children like they were their own. Their facility is very clean and they feed the kids high quality meals. They saved us during the pandemic as our oldest started kindergarten and they were able to accommodate her with the online learning so my husband and I could both work. Our oldest now doesn’t want to go back to regular school because she loves smart start so much. Not only do they care for your children but they prepare them for school and educate. Our kid’s love it there and so do we! Send your kids and trust that they will be in amazing hands!
