I worked for Alexandra years ago and my experience with her has been beyond positive. Her program is well thought out and she truly has the childrens best interest in mind (something I wouldnt say about all the former child care centers I worked for). I have seen Alexandra worry over the well being of the kids in her care and go out of her way to help parents in dire situations. She is heavier on early childhood academics than other schools and her program is a good fit for kids who are curious and love to learn. I no longer work in early education - the good was overshadowed by the corrupt nature of most childcare centers - but if I were to go back, this is where I would first apply. Dig deep and do your research before you decide on a program for your child but definitely check this place out!

We just started our daughter here. She loves it. The teachers are wonderful. The only problem is that she doesnt want to leave at the end of the day 😉

Our son attended Alexandras Renton location for 3.5 years and we absolutely loved it. Her well thought out curriculum and learning through play program gave our son a great start and a very positive preschool experience. He is now in Kindergarten and our challenge is to keep that momentum going so he continues to love learning like he did at Alexandras!

My daughter has been attending Alexandras Renton location for 2.5 years. I am so thankful we found her! My daughter has learned so many things in this short amount of time and I know she will be so well prepared for Kindergarten when the time comes. It is a relief knowing my daughter is so well loved and cared for while I am at work. She loves being at school with her friends and teachers. I cannot recommend this school enough!

My daughter started attending the Renton location in September 2016 and its not secret in my house that she absolutely LOVES her school, friends & especially her teachers. Its been absolutely amazing to watch her grow over the last year. Coming home excited to show me her projects and tell me all about her day. My husband and I know that she is all ready for kindergarten now with all the amazing skills and hands on acivities that shes taken part of over the past 12 months. Weve been so happy and excited about our daughters experience that our 3 year old is starting at Tiny Miracles in September. He absolutely cant wait, and neither can we! We cant thank Alexandra and Eunice enough for all their love, care and attention to not only our daughter- but to all the childrens needs.

Smart Start Day School was an answer to our prayers. When My wife decided to go back to work we started out just looking for just a day care for our 2 year old at the time and luckily found Smart Start Day School (SSDS), and it is much more than a day care. It is a wonderful preschool that our now 3 year old loves so much she is excited to go in the mornings!Miss Sandra, who is the owner, runs the school with Miss Shonny and they are both gifted, smart and nurturing educators who our daughter loves.The teachers are great also! Our daughter absolutely adores her teacher, Miss Lindsey. And Miss Lindseys thoughtful, creative and fun ways of implementing the curriculum have been especially impressive and set our minds at ease as parents knowing our child is always learning. I can be very hard to please at times when it comes to my daughters and their education and truthfully cant say one bad thing about the education my 3 year has been receiving for over a year now at SSDS!Besides being a clean, safe, well organized school with a great curriculum and all of the traditional aspects of early education, SSDS also has creative, outside the box teaching methods which My wife and I love. They garden, do yoga, bring in special guests such as police men to learn about different parts of society, and spend a lot of time outside, among other things.Maybe, what I like about the school the most is the loving, positive atmosphere our little girl gets to be in every day she is not at home with her family and that we truly dont have to ever worry about her during the day. She is in wonderful hands and is constantly learning and developing.SSDS is a wonderful school and exceeded our expectations in many ways!Keep up the amazing work Miss Sandra and staff!

This place deserves at least 10 stars. With two little children I have some experience with daycares and by far this is the best. I havent met yet other so knowledgeable owner and director and this makes a big difference.Pros:1. The lesson plan is great and full with activities that are actually executed. I guess when the owner holds a Masters in Education degree and makes the curriculum herself is much better than downloading a free plan from the internet and just hang it on the wall like many other places do.2. Teachers are polite, willing to communicate with parents, supportive (regarding potty training for example), very knowledgeable about how to develop fine motor skills and how to organize the little bunch of toddlers so they can finish their activities and actually learn something. (Ok I believe I am not the only parent who cant make ONE toddler put his shoes on, what about something more complicated). My sons teacher call the kids of her class friends. For me they are little screaming monsters but for her they are friends. Cant thing of better way to teach respectfulness.3. They regularly bring some entertainment for the kids like clown, parrot lady, bouncy house etc.4. The kids helped plant herbs and tomatos in the Spring and now they regularly bring organic tomatos home. Good way to teach about nature and about how the efforts pay back.5. The prices are very reasonable.Cons:You probably wont find opening there. If there is an opening consider yourself very very lucky.
