Smart Starts Day School

My son was struggling so we moved him over to Blue Lakes. We have had a great experience! The principal is excellent and very involved. Some of the bad reviews are from a previous principal. The current principle is out there greeting the parents everyday and knows each kid by name. When my kid was struggling with emotional breakdowns during COVID, the school reacted immediately. They put his mental health first and he is doing great! I have had children in general education, ese classes, and gifted. I recommend all!

If you are for progress don't go to this school! They support only specific groups! The principal hates the parents and the students as well!

This school and it's leaders believe in quality education, family involvement and best practices for the children. The learn in a very beautiful and natural environment and children are thriving. There is grace and courtesy being taught every day and the children are very kind, respectful and friendly with one another which is the culture of the school.The teachers are caring, nurturing, and very knowledgeable in Montessori principles and methods and the children and the share great information with families.

Hi, I'm an SCA mom. My children have attended this school since Pre-k, I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart that these are great teachers. The teachers are loving, dedicated and caring. The staff at SCA is very friendly. I came to this school 7 years ago, it was a very difficult time in my life. I was going thru a divorce. The staff at this school was very helpful and they guided my children while I healed and I am forever greatful to ALL of them. My kids have grown at this school physically and spiritually. I thank God for the opportunity to be at this wonderful school. God Bless all of them, and may he continue to give our leaders wisdom and courage.

As a parent, I came into this school community with the hope that my child’s unique needs would be met with understanding, creativity, and care. Unfortunately, we were asked to provide our own assistant for him — a request that made it clear the school does not have the necessary systems in place to support children who fall outside a narrow definition of “typical.” This expectation placed an unfair burden on our family and revealed a deeper issue in the school’s approach to diversity and inclusion.It is disappointing to see that the school is not equipped to support a full range of students, especially in a time when inclusive education should be the standard, not the exception. Diversity in learning styles, behaviors, and needs is a fact of every classroom, and it is the responsibility of educational institutions to rise to the challenge, not place that responsibility on families.
