Philosophy

We believe that fostering a child’s intrinsic desire to learn is essential in their early development journey. By nurturing their curiosity and creating a supportive, safe environment, we aim to instill a passion for learning that will empower them to grow into confident, capable individuals. Our approach focuses on addressing the holistic needs of every child, promoting self-esteem, overall well-being, and a positive attitude towards learning through hands-on experiences and expressive activities.

About our program

Smarty Pants is a cognitively based pre-school centered on the principle of children learning using all of their academic senses. Sutton-Smith states in _The playful modes of knowing, _that “as children play, they construct an understanding of their world. They explore their environment and the objects and people in it. . .”

We strive to accommodate families in offering a flexible schedule of days and times available for their children to attend classes. We offer half day and full day classes 5 days a week. We work to prepare children for social and emotional skills as well as academic preparation they will utilize in kindergarten and beyond.
