Smart Stars Academy

I wanna say my daughter was here for a year and she loved it. The teachers are so caring and mindful, also the owner Veronica is very understanding. Overall this is a great and safe environment for your kiddos. Truly recommend:)

Absolutely am in awe on how horrible this place is towards its employees. If you plan to work here I suggest finding another job!!!!!! They will take you off the schedule without notice but call you in at THEIR convenience!!!! Im not sure who this may be helping but the loss of respect I have for this company is astonishing. I NEVER leave bad reviews (any review actually) but am truly disappointed with this company and felt like I needed to warn others who may want to join the company in the future.

My daughter has attended this school since she was 2  years old, she is now 4 and still currently enrolled. She loves going to school and has learned a lot; noticed such improvement in her writing. She speaks highly about her teachers and friends. She's so comfortable there that she doesn't want to go to a new school for kindergarten! I would definitely recommend this school.

I'm updating my review in response to the owner's claim that it's fake.  Veronica- it's clear from your response that you know exactly who I am and the basis for my review. If you want to defend your sense of entitlement and sometimes nasty attitude toward others, that's fine. But don't resort to touting your acceptance of vouchers (lady, I paid out of pocket)  and diversity (hmmm, I wonder why you'd raise this). Further, as you know the cameras that provide viewing to parents only show the insides of classrooms.  The incident I mentioned was near the hall/classroom doorway area past the first set of lockers- those views are only seen on the screens in the hall and  your office.  I reiterate that the school has many great points including the security measures (monitored key card access) and that it was kept impressively clean thanks to hardworking and kind staff who also cooked nice meals for the kids.  The teachers clearly looked up to you and likewise look to you to set the tone. Companies call this "the tone at the top" for a reason- just do better.  If you care to discuss further, you have my contact information.  Otherwise, I stick by my review.

I rarely ever leave comments or reviews but found it very necessary to do so for this daycare. When my son first started I was nervous and anxious in all ways possible but the open communication between the director, his teachers, and all staff members at the daycare really eased my stress. My 2-year-old son started daycare speaking in single word fragments and now speaks in sentences. He also has started to understand Russian although it is not even his home language. Within months, he has learned to count from 1-20, identify colors, shapes, animals, and has grown in so many ways socially, expressively and academically. The best part of this daycare is the live stream option which allows me to watch my son anytime during the day when I want to however, I barely even do because I know he is safe while there. I truly do wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, engaging, fun, and welcoming place for their child. Thank you to the whole Smart Stars staff for taking in my baby and treating him like your own! Special shout out to Ms. Luda who my son wont stop talking about at home!
