We offer a Montessori program along with a regular program so parents can choose a program best suited for their children. The individual should have knowledge of both the programs. We do offer training for those who do not have knowledge with the Montessori approach.
SimplySmart is an institution focused on creating a solid foundation for children to build on. Our mantra is to help children in all areas of physical, social, and emotional development. Our curriculum is designed to foster a love of learning and the ability to ask questions, seek out answers and build self-confidence. Our teachers interact, observe and discover what the children are interested in, then plan activities to expand your child’s learning opportunities. Individuals with experience working in multi-site childcare will be given preference.
