  • My kid has been at Smart Stuff for a bit now and it’s honestly just okay. It’s a typical city daycare where it feels like somebody is always passing around a cold or hand-foot-and-mouth, and the sick policy can be kind of hit or miss depending on which staff member is at the desk that morning. I do like that they emphasize CPR and first aid training for the teachers—I actually saw they host classes there—so that gives me some peace of mind for emergencies. It’s definitely not the cleanest place I’ve ever seen, but it’s not a total wreck either. Just your average Bridgeport spot where you have to stay on top of the staff to make sure they’re actually wiping down the toys.
