At Start Smart Child Care Center, every day is an adventure in learning. We blend play-based education with a loving home environment so your child grows confident, curious, and cared for.
Trusted by local families
From your newborn's first steps to your school-age child's after-school adventures, we have a program that fits your family's rhythm.
Gentle, responsive care tailored to your baby's unique needs. Our low child-to-caregiver ratios ensure every infant receives the attention and warmth they deserve.
Active, curious toddlers need exploration. Our program celebrates their independence with structured play, early language development, and social skills.
Build the foundation for lifelong learning. Our play-based curriculum develops pre-literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills your child needs for kindergarten.
Homework help, creative projects, and supervised fun — from the moment the school bus pulls away until you walk through your front door.
No school? No problem. Our summer program keeps little ones engaged with field trips, themed weeks, outdoor adventures, and creative workshops — all while building friendships and making memories that last all year round.
Home-like
atmosphere
Start Smart Child Care Center has been a cornerstone of the West Point community for over 15 years. We started as a small family operation with a big dream: to create a child care center that feels like home — where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to explore.
Our passionate team of certified caregivers brings together early childhood education expertise and genuine love for what they do. We believe that the earliest years shape who a child becomes, and we take that responsibility seriously — with warmth, patience, and a whole lot of heart.

Secure facilities, background-checked staff, and strict health protocols give you peace of mind every single day.
Developmentally appropriate curricula that nurture cognitive, social, and emotional growth through play and exploration.
Small groups mean your child gets individual attention. We learn their quirks, preferences, and pace — and celebrate each milestone.
Daily updates, open communication, and regular meetings — we keep you connected to your child's day and development.
Bright classrooms, colorful learning corners, and safe outdoor spaces — everything your child needs to thrive.
"We visited several centers before finding Start Smart, and the difference was immediate. Our daughter went from shy and hesitant to excited every morning. The staff genuinely cares about each child."
