You can feel the love and dedication in everything they do. They genuinely pour their hearts, energy, and expertise into every aspect of the program. One of the things that sets SmartStart apart is their commitment to providing home-cooked nutritious meals for the children. Every day, breakfast, lunch, and snacks are freshly prepared with care which is something that's rare and so appreciated in today's fast-paced world. What's even more impressive is their focus on their emotional intelligence starting as early as age 2. Ms. June and her team guide the children through understanding their feelings, learning empathy, and building the foundation for respectful, inclusive interactions. It's a beautiful way to raise emotionally aware and kind future adults, and it shows in the way the children treat each other. They also keep parents incredibly connected and informed through an app, where they share regular updates and photos throughout the day. It's such a joy to see the children engaged in creative projects, hands-on lessons, and meaningful play. Most importantly, Smart Start is a place you can completely trust. The safety and well-being of the children is clearly the top priority, and the environment is both warm and secure. As a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child is in such capable and loving hands!!!! You can truly see the blood, sweat, and tears that go into making Smart Start the wonderful place it is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

I want to comment about Ms. Jackie because I recently saw a negative review about her, and it made me really sad to see what was written about her.

It's been great having a professional on my side to make sense of the endless drum content on the internet these days. In the past few months, I've learned to read and write drumming notation to dissect and understand rhythms on a deeper level.

But, I live within a block of the school and follow its progress every day. So...I think I'm in a position to tell you about the place. Here's the review: Yes, I went to ECHS a thousand years ago, and no, it wasn't my finest educational hour! But... It wasn't the school's fault. I was a teenager. Get it? So, lets start with a few corrections: Bronwen, I've been watching over the school now for sixty years.Literally. I don't think that at any time "the board got pushed by a couple of homeowners." There were a number of community-based meeting when the new campus was about to be built. Homeowners went to these meetings and were asked what they would like to see in a new school The result was a very nice school building, awesome auditorium, and appropriate "setbacks" so that the hillside wouldn't slide into the new school. We do live at the edge of the Blakemont slide... Wouldn't want our neighborhood kids to be buried in mud, you know. Speaking of which...DO NOT refer to the kids as "pretty ghetto." These are kids in school. Not out on the streets. Where the kids are from is irrelevant. Where they are going is to the university. Good jobs. Good places. They have hope in their hearts, these kids in school...and the future really does belong with them. Easy on the mudslinging.....it smacks of inappropriate racism. Lots of nifty programs at the school these days. FIne (local) principal. All very well managed by teachers, staff and students. Campus police available for those intruding moments, which are rare. Do stay hopeful. I think these kids are going to be able to support you in your old age. When Social Security comes knocking at your door. And it will. Trust me. Trust the future.....

I am an El Cerrito High graduate and my younger sister is a current student there…read more I was fortunate enough to spend a year in the old building, but spend the remainder of my years in portables. Despite the portables, ECHS was enjoyable. The block system has changed a bit since I attended but it still maintains the general 3 classes for half a year, and then another 3 classes. In my opinion this system is nice in the fact that we're not simply in a class for 50 minutes and then off to the next one. But on the other hand it's easier to not remember information learned in one class and having to carry it over to the next school year. The new school looks great. I've heard there are multiple gyms, a dance studio, and tons of brand new buildings. The teaching staff was nice and helped me get into the college I had wanted. Since then I'm sure some of the teachers have moved on, but I did see a few memorable faces when I go to pick up my sister. All together ECHS is like any high school. It has its ups and downs, depending on who you hang out with. But in terms of teaching and facilities, it's one of the better schools in the area.

Update ; PARENTS -- This Could Be Your Child…read more The state admitted it wasn't unfounded. My kids were believed enough that they couldn't rule it out. That alone tells you this center is unsafe But let me tell you something I don't need no preponderance of evidence to know the truth. I don't need no fancy paperwork. I got the truth sitting right in my house. I got the pain in my kids' eyes, I got the trauma in their behaviors, I got the evidence written all over their little hearts. It also sad that a teacher had to lose her job during this investigation because she spoke the truth about what really goes on behind closed doors at another kindercare location , but all the other ones choose not to be honest . it's also sad and sick that it usually takes a child being seriously hurt of no way of return for something you can't ignore or cover up before they finally call it substantiated. By then, the damage is already done. Quick lesson: Unfounded = didn't happen ( Kids was lying) Unsubstantiated = might've happened, can't prove it just means the staff covered for each other. Period. Y'all chose jobs over innocent kids. Substantiated = Happen because the adults spoke up , alongside the kids Note: The only part of the statement that was recanted/ corrected/changed was the name of the teacher. In the original report, we listed Leslie's name, but the very next day we learned the actual teacher responsible for the harm was Lidia Robles. SHAME ON THE ONES WHO LIED OR HELD THE TRUTH. Teachers covered their own asses to save jobs but my kids' pain is REAL #ProtectOurKids #PittsburgCA #PittsburgKindercare

They helped my son a lot. His english grade improved from C to B and Math from C to A in 7 months…read more I can see his confidence improve a lot. Their pricing is reasonable, about $24/hr. It seems all the students have individual attentions and my son has separate tutors who specialized in each subject. They also help with my son's homework. Thank you to Coachland.
