What parents say

• Anoshan Ahangama

  My son attended Smart Start Montessori from 3.5 years to Senior kindergarten. The Smart Start Montessori took my heart away when I first visited them back in 2015. I enrolled my son in Casa 1 program and the calm, inviting and homelike atmosphere gave us such comfort knowing that out son was in good hands. Now, my son has moved on to grade school and we have enrolled our daughter in SSMS. The most caring and genuine school management and the teachers guided/educated my son in his own learning path by guiding him to achieve his potential during the most important first journey of his life. I am writing this review just to express the gratitude we feel for giving the same beautiful environment to our daughter who will be rejoining her "my school" in few weeks time. The Smart Start has gone above and beyond to make sure the safety and well-being of the children and staff during this pandemic. I sincerely thank the nurturing staff at Smart Start Montessori for their dedication and wish them nothing but the best during this difficult time.

  SmartStart Montessori has been such an important part of our son's development. The school's dedication, care, and thoughtful feedback helped us identify and address his developmental concerns early, and we are so grateful for the timely support they provided. Ms. Alefiyah, in particular, was an incredibly patient and understanding teacher who worked closely with our son to guide him. Her approach made a significant difference in his progress, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to his educational journey. We are very appreciative of everything the team at SmartStart Montessori has done for our family and highly recommend this wonderful school to other parents looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their children.

  A wonderful school that contributed greatly to my son’s learning. All of the teachers are so involved and truly cared about his growth. We will really miss his school, especially Ms. Shazia and Ms. Gomez.

  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Smart Start Montessori has been an absolute gem in our child’s early educational journey. From the very beginning, we were impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the entire team. The environment is nurturing, thoughtfully structured, and truly centered on the individual growth of each child. Our son, Enzo, thrived in the CASA program—not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. Big thanks to Ms. Alefiyah & Ms. Tania. The Montessori approach at Smart Start is beautifully implemented, encouraging independence, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate and attentive. It was clear that they truly knew and cared for each child, creating a space where children felt safe, confident, and valued. We were also touched by the strong sense of community at the school.Thank you Ms. Alicia for keeping me updated from daily interactions to special events like the graduation ceremony, everything was done with such heart and attention to detail. The photo albums, videos, and thoughtful communication made us feel very connected and involved in Enzo’s experiences. We are so grateful to have been part of the Smart Start community! Highly recommend enough to any parent seeking an enriching, loving, and inspiring preschool environment for their child. Thank you for giving Enzo such a beautiful beginning!

  Our children had a wonderful experience at Smart Start Montessori thanks to their teachers Ms. Alefiyah, Ms. Gomez and Ms. Tania (we also had Ms. Trisha in the CASA room). Our teachers went above and beyond for both our children, who blossomed and thrived under their nurture and care. They were patient, kind and also ensured that our children flourished in the Montessori setting. Ms. Alefiyah, Ms. Tania and Ms. Gomez - thank you for taking such wonderful care of our children. We are forever grateful for every small and little thing you did for our family.
