Smart Start Childcare and Learning Center 14480 60th Street North, Stillwater, MN 55082

"I give Smart Start 5 stars! Not only is Smart Start my place of employment but my two children have also attended childcare here. Every single teacher puts so much dedication, kindness, and compassion into their job. I love being a teacher here and I love how supporting the director and owner are. They are very quick to help out when needed and are very understanding to staff needing time off. Anytime myself or my child has been sick they have always showed compassion. I’m very proud to work for such an amazing childcare center. Smart Start feels like my second home! ❤️"

"Smart Start is AMAZING! My daughter doesn’t want to leave in the evening and runs into the classroom in the morning, which is the best feeling. We are so thankful for the wonderful teachers and administrators!"

"My 2 daughters have been going to smart start for a little over a year now and absolutely love it! Lori has been so good to us and each and every staff member plays such an important roll in the children’s learning. Thankful for such a great place for my children to go. :)"

"We have sent both of our children to smart start since they were 3 months old. Gina and the entire smart start staff love the children like they were their own. Their facility is very clean and they feed the kids high quality meals. They saved us during the pandemic as our oldest started kindergarten and they were able to accommodate her with the online learning so my husband and I could both work. Our oldest now doesn’t want to go back to regular school because she loves smart start so much. Not only do they care for your children but they prepare them for school and educate. Our kid’s love it there and so do we! Send your kids and trust that they will be in amazing hands!"

"Smart Start is amazing. Miss Gina and all the staff show our kids and our family an incredible amount of respect and love. Honestly, I'm a little jealous the kids get to go here and I can't! :) Smart Start prioritizes healthy delicious food, they spend lots of time outdoors with the kids, and the enrichment activities are so much fun. I have had so many positive experiences with the high-quality staff I'd bore you to death with them if I listed them all. My kids come home proud to show off their artwork and accomplishments each day. The decision to bring our kids here has been great for our whole family."
