At The Smart Start Preschool Creative Learning Center students are appropriately challenged both academically and socially.  A student’s education is personalized so they are constantly engaged and motivated on a level that is unique to them. Given the small class size and the full day of school,  (8:30 a.m. – 2:20 p.m.) students have the availability to explore beyond the minimum of state standards of reading and writing, unlike a public school. With ample one on one time between teachers and students, each student at Smart Start  builds confidence and positive feelings towards education.

In addition to the rigorous academic standards in place at Smart Start, the social activities and programs support the well rounded education of the whole child. We offer extraordinary experiences that you will not find at other schools.
