Smarty Pants Preschool has been teaching the children in our community for 30 years, using an individualized program that allows each child to advance at their own rate.
We offer a fun, upbeat, structured curriculum for ages 4-6.
We have 2 team teachers per class, allowing for lots of one-on-one learning opportunities.
We work on helping students gain confidence. We believe that social skills, physical skills and emotional skills are all needed to create a happy, stable child.
