Welcome to Smart Love Preschool
Established 2010
Smart Love Preschool is a fully-licensed, not-for-profit school serving children ages 12-months-old to 6-years-old. We offer a play-based curriculum, focused on creating a positive relationship with learning in a nurturing environment.
At Smart Love, we foster children’s social and emotional development as the portal for their academic growth and success. All learning—from how to get along with others to finding joy in learning new things—flows from the well-being of the child. Widely considered by child development experts around the world as key to success in school, social and emotional development translates into having:
Confidence: A willingness to ask for help when needed but not because of feeling incompetent
Curiosity: A long-lasting desire to learn that doesn’t depend solely on subject matter
Love of Learning: An ability to enjoy the process of learning and not just the grade
Resiliency: A capacity to stick to the learning goal despite difficulty level, setbacks and confusion
Focus: An ability to study despite feeling tired or being distracted
Our students move on to elementary school with a desire to learn, a sense of confidence in the classroom and a resiliency that keeps them engaged in learning.
Smart Love Preschool offers financial aid for eligible families. Please contact us at 773.665.8052, ext. 1 or to learn more.
"It is not when children learn to read or add or subtract that matters, it is whether they love these activities and want to do more of them. If this goal is met, your child will enter elementary school with optimism and self-confidence."
-Martha Heineman Pieper, Ph.D., Author of Smart Love
