Smart Love Preschool is a play-based early childhood education program guided by the well-established and endorsed Smart Love principles. At its heart, these principles promote an understanding of a child’s mind and emotions at every stage of development. Its highly trained teachers skillfully use this understanding to foster every child’s love of learning and their potential. This teaching style is widely regarded as a mark of a high-quality early childhood education program.

What is unique to Smart Love Preschool are the relationships the teachers foster with each child. When the child-teacher relationship is built on trust, understanding, and compassion, the child’s emotional  needs are met. This allows him to grow his confidence, to explore his ideas, to nurture his curiosity, and to develop positive feelings towards school and learning. From this place, effective social-emotional development and learning occurs in a natural, child-focused way.

Starting school is a major life transition and the importance of this transition is widely acknowledged in national and international research. When a child experiences a positive start to school, she will have more future success both academically and socially. Smart Love Preschool’s approach to early childhood education ensures a positive foundation from which children enter into elementary school with optimism, confidence, focus, resiliency, and happiness towards school. At Smart Love, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow and learn in a play-based, socially, and emotionally robust preschool.

The curriculum’s foundation is grounded in what children find most meaningful—Me, My Family, My Home, My School, My School Community, and more. Its project-based curriculum inspires collaboration in our mixed age classroom, promoting vital social and emotional learning and growth. Smart Love Preschool’s unique blend of play and learning stimulation enables robust cognitive learning, validates children’s interests, ignites their curiosity, and helps them grow positive feelings towards school, teachers, classmates, and learning.
