  We searched around for over a year for daycare for our little girl. At the time she was a little over two years old. I wasn't going to be working yet but I wanted her to start socializing with other kids. We went and looked at the school a few times and finally made our determination that we would go with this school. My daughter has never been away from home and was quite scared. As we all know a child needs some time to adjust to anything new. However this school gave my daughter no time at all to adjust. Nap time was terribly hard for my little girl and she cried franticly! This school lead me to believe that they had experienced staff that could handle any type of child meaning they would know how to deal with a child that was very upset as she the owner had said she has 30 years experience. Well needless to say the first day went okay as my daughter enjoyed play time and singing and activities but nap time wasn't a good scene, day two the same thing happened. I received a very rude phone call from the owner stating that in 30 years she hadn't seen a child cry this way at nap time and I should look into somewhere else. I was stunned as this is day two. Most daycares or schools will speak with you in person and try not figure out a plan to make things work all she could say to me is by law she has to take a nap. I do not recommend this daycare at all as it isn't what it seems. This lady ( the owner ) is glad to cash your check but doesn't have the qualities or the compassion to own a daycare. Zero stars to her!

  My 4 yr old grandson went to Smarty Pants for two years. We were so upset that we had to change centers due to a move. We even tried to commute for a few months which added a extra hour each way because we loved the staff and the kids so much. The staff and owner made us feel at home and I was confident that every day was a great experience. The crafts he made and brought home were just beautiful. The website was such a nice addition too. I had pictures of his trips, birthdays, holidays and special moments he had with the other children and staff. I always knew what he ate, his behavior during the day and what he did during the day so that we could have family discussion on all the days events. We miss everyone at Smarty Pants. The owner treats every staff member, parent and child like one of her family and is personally involved in every aspect of the center. We have not found a center that compares to all that Smarty Pants has to offer.
