Parent Reviews
My Son Has been with Smarter ChildCare since he was 13months old he is now almost 3 years old. My almost 3 year old can recognize and spell his first name. He knows his alphabets and the sounds they make as well as most nursery rhymes. His vocabulary has expanded as well as his appetite. That’s just a few of the things my son has learned while being in the care of Smarter Childcare I have no doubt in my mind they he will be overly prepared for preschool with the help of the care givers here at this center. I couldn’t have chosen a better learning center for my child…..
After searching and touring so many daycares, we found our perfect fit with SMARTER in-home daycare. From the very first day, we felt accepted and welcome when they accommodated our vegetarian dietary preferences. The staff are very professional, experienced, and knowledgeable with careers and training in early childhood education. I love that there are environmental safety measures such as temperature checks, handwashing upon entry, HEPA air filters, and a shoes-off policy to keep play areas safe. We love the many resources available for imaginary and sensory play and the academic rigor of practicing writing letters. The backyard play area and nature walks are lovely but the daycare also ensures gross-motor skills are exercised indoors in case of inclement weather. The ultimate proof of how nurturing the environment is at this daycare is in the joy that my child expresses while getting ready to go there in the morning and at drop-off. We feel so lucky to have stumbled upon such a loving environment for our little one where we are treated like family.
My daughters have been attending this daycare since they were 1 and 4 years old. My youngest daughter has greatly benefited from this program, as she learned essential skills such as tying her shoes, reading, potty training, and writing her name at an early age. She was reading before she turned 3, while my oldest daughter was already reading at a kindergarten level by age 4, prior to starting kindergarten. This daycare goes beyond mere supervision; they actively engage in teaching advanced concepts in math and reading. I am truly grateful to have found such an excellent daycare.
This child care center is amazing! They have taken care of my child since she was 1. She is now 3 and they have become like family. The facility is clean and organized. They provide learning activities each day for reading, math, and social emotional skills. They even do extras like yoga, dance and crafts. The meals are home cooked and nutritional. My child loves going here. As a teacher myself it was hard choosing a place I felt was the right fit but Smarter Childcare is the best and I couldn’t be happier.
Best daycare in the WORLD 🫶🏽💯 My son has been attending since he was 7/8 months old he is now 3 and can count to 100 knows how to spell his name, can recognize sight words, knows shapes that some adults do not, and is currently working on writing 🏆so when I say THE BEST I mean exactly what I say ‼️
