After searching for three months, 11 different daycare's, I finally found Smart Start Day School. From the minute I met Miss Sandra I was put at ease. We now have been going there for over a year and it's been the biggest piece of mind for us. The teachers and staff are nothing short of amazing. My daughter is ahead of the learning curve and it's mainly due to this school and the fun way they incorporate learning. If you are looking for the best well you have found it! I can't say enough about this school. It truly has been a blessing from God. Thank you to all of you who work at Smart Start!!!
