Smart Start Kids Daycare 125 Seaman Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10034

"My son has been at Smart Start for almost 2 years and we are incredibly happy with the program. The staff are warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Cristina is also great--very professional, responsive, and designs wonderful enriching activities for the children. My son is thriving and loves Smart Start and all his friends and caretakers there."

"Our daughter has been attending Smart Start for over a year and a half and we couldn't be happier with our choice of daycare. Cristina and her team create a loving, kind and positive environment. Our daughter is learning so much thanks to their engaging and fun activities. Smart Start keeps us looped in throughout the day on how our child is doing and Cristina is an excellent communicator. Smart Start has become a second home for our daughter and she looks forward to going every day!"

"The experience with my son at Smart Start Kids has been very positive, he learned to be self-reliant, to eat alone, to communicate when he needs something, to interact with other children and he is starting to learn basic knowledge of letters and numbers. The assistants are very attentive to the details of the children, from their diet, hygiene and communication. This was definitely a good choice for my family."

"I’ve had my son at Smart Start for the last 15 months beginning when he turned 1 year old. Finding a great day care is essentially looking for a 2nd home for your child, with a loving attentive family to help raise them during the work week. I could not have picked a better home for my child. Cristina and her staff have taken such amazing care of my son. Attentive, engaging, loving - they have contributed in a substantial way to his development. He loves being dropped off every morning and has learned so much during his time at Smart Start, including numbers and simple words in Spanish. I cloth diaper my son and they were more than happy to maintain that during the day. They also utilize a child care app for daily updates which is so great. You truly could not pick a safer, more loving program for your child."

"Both of my daughters have been attending Smart Start and they cannot be happier! That’s all a parent can ask for, right? My 1.5 year old gets genuinely excited when she sees the building and knows she’ll be seeing her friends and favorite caretakers. Christina and her staff are amazingly warm and communicate with myself and husband daily about the girls throughout the day. They are professional, warm and are HIGHLY recommended, you will not be disappointed."
