Smart Start Academy is a wonderful and amazing place for child care, infant daycare, and preschool in Jersey City. Families describe it as a loving, caring, and welcoming environment that feels like home for the kids. The staff, admins, and teachers are consistently noted as being kind, helpful, respectful, friendly, responsible, and dedicated.
Parents report that their children are happy everyday, love their teachers, and enjoy the creative, fun curriculum and different daily activities. The academy provides a great learning experience that supports a strong foundation. Practical benefits like small class sizes, a useful app for updates and pictures, and flexible program options add to the convenience. Multiple reviews from parents with long-term or multiple children at the school highlight consistently great experiences, with many stating they couldn't recommend it enough.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Smart Start Academy! The director and staff are absolutely amazing. They are caring, welcoming, patient, and truly dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for the children.

The staff at the Central Avenue location are the sweetest! This is our second time at this location and our kids have always been looked after, loved on, and have learned so much.
They have always left with a big smile on their faces.
