  • I honestly had high hopes for Smart Learning Center because the Bridgeport location is so convenient, but the health standards are a major red flag. There’s a legal filing floating around online that mentions 'imminent hazards to public health and safety' regarding this LLC, and honestly, you can feel that when you walk in. The facility feels cramped and the air always smells stale, like the ventilation hasn't been touched in years. My little one was coming home with a new bug every single week, and it felt like there was zero communication from the staff about what illnesses were going around the classroom. It’s hard to trust a place with your kid’s wellness when they seem more focused on just filling seats than keeping things sanitized. Between the poor communication and the shady health reputation, we had to pull our child out for our own peace of mind. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you're worried about cleanliness or respiratory health.
