About Smart Start Pre-Prep

 The philosophy of Smart Start Pre-Prep begins with providing each child with an atmosphere that will encourage positive growth and development with an emphasis on education and emotional well-being. We recognize that children must be surrounded daily by actions that show respect, consistency and concern for the nourishment of each child’s natural desire to learn and grow. We believe that learning is achieved by combining educational practices such as reading, math, arts and sciences with creative play. Given this understanding, the purpose of our program is:

•        To provide an environment in which each child can develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually in a meaningful  fashion;
  
•      To provide a curriculum that is challenging yet age appropriate in terms of skills and concept objectives, in a planned environment that allows each child to reach the
  objective to the best of their ability;
  
•        To develop the inherent creativity in every child through an environment that is secure and stimulating, rich in experiences and materials, where he or she is free to investigate and create;
  
•    To guide in the development of self-discipline, self-motivation, and the desire to do one’s best;
  
•        To encourage responsibility and mutual respect for one another, and to develop an awareness and appreciation for one’s environment;
  
•        To provide an atmosphere where a child knows he or she is loved, appreciated and understood at their own developmental level and self-expression.
