I want to say thank you to that beautiful school to open the doors for my family. I went there just to ask, and I was surprise to see the way that they make me feel even when we didn’t have an appointment. Great services, the story of the curriculum is amazing, I hope to have my child there.

To say we love this school is an understatement! We started here with my daughter when she was 2.5 y/o and she is now ready to start kindergarten. Once my son was born we also brought him in when he was 1. They both flourished and learned so much during their time at Smart Beginners. All of the teachers are amazing and show so much care and love to the children. Taking the time to create various educational and fun activities for the kids daily. Lots of sensory and fine/gross motor activities, learning about different cultures, countries, art, science, etc. They truly love what they do at this school and it shows. It was also easy to communicate with the teachers through their app or via phone. I knew our kids were in good hands each day we dropped them off. We will miss them all greatly!

I just have to say, my daughter's preschool is amazing! It's honestly the best place for her early education, and I feel so secure knowing she's in such good hands.

The teachers are just incredible. They're so sweet and caring towards my little one, and they always keep me in the loop about what's going on. I really appreciate their effort to communicate with me.

The preschool offers so many different activities throughout the day, and my daughter just loves it. From arts and crafts to interactive learning, she's always engaged and having fun.

And I have to mention the safety and security measures they have in place. It's such a relief knowing my child is in a protected environment where her well-being is a top priority.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a nurturing and educational environment for their child. The teachers are amazing, the activities are fun, and the safety measures are top-notch. We're so grateful for the positive impact it's had on our daughter's development.

Daycare is average however they do make you wear uniforms and try to have your child sit down for eight hours out of the day at a desk or table which I think is kind of dumb to force two-year-olds to sit at a table all day like they’re in school already. Teachers only speak Spanish, barely any English. Also, If your child is an active child, they will call you and tell you that he has problems because he can’t sit at a desk all day and ask you to find a new daycare and won’t give you the money back.

I had to write a review on here , to advise people about this school because I really tried for my daughter to settle in for almost 2 months. I had to take her out and send her back to her old school. She was at her old school for only 4 months before I decided to bring her here, due to the closeness to my home and the flexibility of hours I could come bring her and pick her up.
Coming here for the new school year after her old school was a transition. Which was understandable, But my daughter was miserable here to the point of traumatized! I stayed in her class for 30min a day or so the first week to make her feel comfortable and I noticed a couple of things . First every single day we walked into that classroom all the kids were sitting down in the same positions and the teachers sat out on the floor with out moving to come greet us at the door .No one was allowed to move from the activity it’s like very strict on that .
I always had to be the one to bring her in and comfort her so she can do the activity they were doing. The teacher would just stare and continue on her activities .
The kids were never allowed to stand up or the teachers would yell out their name to sit down . I also noticed within the first week one kid was always moving around (normal for a two year old) and the teacher would yank the kid to sit back down. I felt it was very very strict for a toddler group (2-3) class to always have to obey instructions and if not they were saying “no park” for (blank name) . It was as if they had 0 patience for them.
The other thing I noticed was their lack of compassion for the kids it was always serious and teaching them but never felt a sensation of love for the kids or a sense of humor.
Everytime I dropped off my daughter it was a struggle for her to go inside . Within the steps from the front door to her class she was miserable yelling crying and begging for me to not leave .
Every day I picked her up she was at the park looking out for everyone opening the front door to see if it was me. I noticed she would repeat (mom mom mom) about 10x when I would get her like a sign of relief. The next day was always the same. Twice I picked her up and she had (poopy) in her diaper. One day I told her teacher and she said” 20min ago we changed her “ meaning they have a routine of times they change them but they don’t constantly do so.
Every kid is different, I didn’t appreciate that lack of attention and attitude from the teacher.
Finally I decided her last week as I transitioned her back to her old school. I spoke to the lady up front about my concerns and experience, everyone seemed to say the same thing, it takes time for them to adjust. “It’s normal” .
The assistant teacher mentioned she wouldn’t nap at the time of sleep. Which is weird because at her other school she was sleeping just fine.
I noticed every photo they would send through the app my daughter was crying .
Bottom line is I changed her back to her old school and she was extremely happy she goes in with out a problem I pick her up smiling! The teachers are always happy to greet us . It’s a different experience. I feel something really wrong was going on at this school I would investigate further more but decided to just take my experience on it in this review. I would carefully select this school.

I also noticed when I first signed her up here they had a few bad reviews now it’s 5* they somehow deleted the bad ones .
