Colin O'Brien
Both of our children have attended this SimplySmart location and we are extremely pleased. They have lovely staff here from admin to the kitchen to each classroom! Our kids always speak highly of their educations and this makes us feel good about their time at daycare.
Lindsay McCann
This has been a fantastic early learning environment for our two young children. The staff are friendly, enthusiastic and attentive. A variety of home cooked meals are prepared on site, which our kids love. The curriculum is age appropriate and engaging, and there is a wonderful outdoor play area that the kids spend lots of time in.
Shelby Emrich
Our family loves Simply Smart! Our children have always looked forward to going to “school” and are excited when they get there! The educators are so kind and loving and do activities and crafts throughout the day! The outdoor play space is lovely as well! And the menu is great too!
Pat Martinson
Our daughter has been with Alexandra since Feb 2023, and it was a great transition for her from the previous home daycare. The staff are great, and we love seeing the daily reports and learning updates. The stream of the classroom was a great relief in the first 1-2 weeks to check in on nap schedules & watch some of the games (but we haven't used it since). I would recommend this daycare in an instant, but with the caveat that relying on ONEList to get accepted will likely take a very long time. Calling and/or emailing on the status of your kiddo's 'application' will likely be much more effective.
Michael Hewitson
We have had a great experience with simply smart daycare. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and great with young children. All of our children have had such a positive experience and have loved attending each day. They provide healthy meals and snacks that the children enjoy everyday and have well thought through learning plans that prepare children for the transition to school when the time comes. We are so happy we found Simply Smart Childcare and would recommend the centre to anyone else that is looking for a great, safe space to leave their children.
