This is an update to our previous five star review, we just graduated Pre-K, and if we could give a hundred gold stars we would! Were off to Kindergarten in the Covid-era after remaining at Get Smart Kids Academy for the last six months as public schools (and the world) manage for current affairs. Get Smart Kids Academy has been the most wonderful preschool!The school has been spotless for years and hand-washing and wellness always routine. The management and procedures have been planned and implemented and earned our full confidence again and again.The friendships, the staff, all the creativity, arts and crafts, teaching, learning, activity, play time, engagement, fun, security and child safety, cleanliness, nurturing, recreation, songs, food and meals, celebrations and all that goes into the day to day for the children, from infancy until now is worth mentioning.We will more than miss the enriching learning environment, the play and activities, the warm and caring teachers, and the years of fun spent with Get Smart Kids Academy. We love Get Smart Kids Academy and highly recommend the pre-school.

Great Education Center for your kids. Amazing and professional Staffing Team, kids really learn and acquire good knowledge. Highly Recommended and I strongly suggest bringing your kids to this center!

I worked here many years ago, Mrs. Maggie is amazing when it comes to treating her teachers and the students at the centers. The respect for both students and teachers is seen as soon as you enter the building. It truly is a great place to work at and to have your children attend.

All 3 of my kids attended Get Smart Kids Academy. They have excellent teachers tnat nurture the kids and make them feel welcomed. The learning environment is great and got my kids prepared for elementary school.

I am an elementary school teacher so believe me when I say, I have researched and researched schools to put my 1 year old son in. Immediately after putting my 1 year old son in Get Smart Academy, I noticed a huge difference in him. My son was put on a schedule, began eating different foods, began walking, and most importantly, was learning! Most people expect a daycare-like setting for their 1 year old. However, at Get Smart, it is very different. We call Get Smart school because it is as though our son is at school (at 1 year old!). B does circle time, story time, and even art time. The teachers are very hands-on and patient. I love how the school is very secure yet extremely open for parents to be involved. The owner, Ms. Montes is incredible and I feel she truly has my sons best interest at heart. Bs teachers (there are 3) are also amazing. They are very loving and nurturing and extremely patient! We are so happy at Get Smart.

My overall experience with this school has been great. My daughter has been going to this school since she was 6 months old and now she is 16 months old and has learned so much from the time she has been here. The teachers are very attentive and my daughter loves them. I would recommend this school to any parent worried about their child starting daycare because they will be in good hands. I know how hard it is to leave your child in the care of someone else but they made the transition a very easy one.

Great teachers, safe CLEAN. We have our 4 year old in this school for 2 years now and its great. The 125st school is safe, very clean and is helping my little one be her best. The lunch choices are great. Go do a tour if you need a school for your child. She has learned so much in such little time.

A wonderful child center- full of play, learning, nurturing, development, safety and more! North Miami is fortunate to have a quality child care facility like Get Smart Kids in its community.

I applied here for a position some years ago and was denied because I dont speak Spanish. Mind you, this place is located in the middle of north Miami were most either speak English or Creole Im not sure if thats a form of discrimination but I felt discriminated against. If anything they need someone who speaks proper English everyone there speaks Spanish even the children spoke Spanish to one another, which I believe is doing them a disservice because when they reach to public school guess what language the teachers and other students will speak ? ENGLISH!

After three great years at Get Smart, we are ready to move to grade school. We leave with so many great memories and learning experiences which we will forever be grateful to have experienced at Get Smart. Thank you so much! Mia will always remember her GSKA family as she continues her academic journey with an excellent foundation you have prepared her for. Your teams love for children, your knowledge, and passion for academic growth shines through and is evident in everything I saw on a day-by-day basis for the past three years. We will miss you GSKA!

I must say that i love this school... both of my kids go here my daughter that is 2 and my son that is 4yrs. My daughter is still geting use to it but i have to say thank you to the staff Ms Sonia & Ms Valencia that helps calm and comfort her. As for my son i love how hands on the class is and Ms Nancy and Ms Marva really care on helping him learn. He has been struggling with writing but his teachers keep pusing thanks for your help.

BEWARE: The worst service and attention, if you want to downgrade your child, its the perfect place. Ratings you see are from there friends and kids are miserable going there, very dirty, pay attention to the details. They only care about fees and not the kids well being.Went to KLA instead, much better.

DANGER! If your not part of the favorite parent club, get ready, for you and child to be targeted and outcasted. If you have an accident at home, from my own personal experience they have no problem calling DCF on you.. Before consulting you about the issue... They are real nice with the tours with smiles. But once your in, no more smiles.. The mother of the owner is very condescending... Biggest mistake putting my child in that school.

Majority of the teachers do not speak fluent English. The classroom supervision is poor. The kids bathroom doesn’t have any doors

Great place for kids, clean, secure and very friendly staff the teachers are the best!! my daughter just graduated this year, we miss this place already.

They will find any excuse to charge you a buck and if you child is slightly out of the ordinary expect complaints. Its family owned so expect for favoritism over their staff than parents. My family is happier now that my children are in a different center.

Good school does need more. Learning activity

This School is run by greedy low lifes. They stole a lot of money from me and I will be suing them in small claims court, and anybody else who has any claims against this company I suggest you do the same.

GSKA is not just daycare. Its a head start in childhood education! My wife and I are so happy we found Get Smart.When my son was 2, he started attending GSKA. At the time he wasnt talking much, still wore diapers and because he is an only child, had little experience socializing with other kids. Within a few weeks the transformation began. And all we can say is WOW! His confidence soared. He now makes friends with ease. Hes so outgoing. He knows how to share and deal with conflict. And most importantly, hes so far ahead of other kids his age were thrilled.After three years at GSKA he graduated VPK in May. Hes 5 years old and already knows how to read age appropriate books. He can add and subtract, count to 100, he knows all his shapes and colors, and he can write quite a few words and even short sentences. Were just amazed!I want to thank everyone at GSKA. Our son loved all of his teachers. Everyone is friendly and professional. And best of all, this school is open when others are not - like throughout the summer months and during most vacations. That made our work life so much easier. We both wish he could continue going to school there... I highly recommend this pre-school to anyone who loves their kids and wants more than just daycare.

Its very good
