What we believe

---

Smart Start believes that quality child care enables the healthy growth and development of the ‘whole’ child. We believe that all children are different and unique; our environment accepts and encourages children to express their full potential in all aspects of their development. 

Through children’s interest to explore their environment, we create a setting that first engages and then motivates physical, social, emotional and cognitive development with a goal to maximizing their potential. 

We believe that our program offers each child a balance of challenging and stimulating experiences. To accomplish the maximum benefit from an experience, a child must experience that they are loved, valued and cared for. 

We believe that for the child to feel accepted and loved our program must blend and enhance family experiences with their experience in the center. Family participation is encouraged to enhance the quality of the experience for the child.
