Smart Start Child Care - Bowling Green

Nov 16th, 2021

I have a 7 year old and an 18 month old that both attend Smart Start. They absolutely love the facility and their teachers. I hate having to work full-time but I feel totally confident and happy that my kids are safe and learning when I drop them off here every morning. I usually drop in at random times to check on my daughter since my son is only in the before and after school program, she’s always laughing, singing and dancing. A great and safe place for our children to learn. ❤️

Smart Start isn't like any old daycare. It's like a school. They teach the kids just as you would teach them! My 2 year old daughter can spell her name and count to 15! She also knows her A B C's and all of her main body parts. And best of all I have found her counting in Spanish! All because of Smart Start my daughter is getting the education I would give her at home if I didn't have a job. Staff is very sweet and understanding! Paul is also very understanding!

Paul Isenberg (owner) is a complete scumbag. He cheats on his wife and three kids with employees, regularly. His facilities are understaffed and over-enrolled. He has recieved several fines from the state on this matter alone. Most of his staff are under-paid ($8 an hr) and over-worked; turning in 50-60 hours a week, that Paul doesn't even pay time-and-a-half on the overtime hours. How can the employee who puts the toy in your child's happy meal make more than employee who raises him/her 8-10 hours a day?? It's all about the money at smart start. When picking up my 2 year old I noticed several times there were almost 30 kids in the room and only two "teachers." When asked how they can watch so many kids at once, their response was "we can't." He doesn't care about his own family, how could he care about yours? Make the smart choice when choosing child care, and don't choose smart start!

If I could give 0 stars I WOULD. I would not send my children there again if it was the only place open. My children were injured with out report, unattainted to, and were fed inatiquit food and diapers were not changed often enough. Not only all of this, but the facility itself, though seemingly clean, is not sanitized regularly making my children extremely sick, extremely often. They say they are “teachers” but they are really a minimum wage paid uneducated adult with no training. The owners, though the wife is kind, the husband is completely crooked making remarks towards me in innapritiate ways, and sending payment statements asking for more than I owe, Ever since switching day cares, my children have been less injured, less sick, happier and healthier kids, and I will NEVER advise any one to take their child to this place again.
