The center accommodates 130 children ages 0 – 9, and has 8000 sq ft of indoor and 2,400 sq ft of outdoor space. There are two fenced playgrounds, equipped with play equipment that meets CSA standards. The centre offers programs for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers, Kindergarteners and School age children. We offer full-time and part-time programs to meet the needs of working parents.
In a supportive and safe environment, where your child feels welcome, safe, and successful, experienced, cared and certified Early Childhood Education Teachers guide children in developing their social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills. We provide your child with a natural, nurturing and stimulating setting that allows for learning, exploration, social interactions and lots of play.
Because children learn differently than adults, they need hands-on experiences and well-trained Teachers, warmth and attention, enthusiasm and encouragement. Most of all, they need the joy and challenge of doing different things themselves. That's what helps children learn and grow, and that's what we offer to your child at our child care centre.
A cognitive oriented setting reflects the belief that children learn best in an inclusive and stimulating but ordered environment in which they make choices and act on them. We strive to make the child care experience rewarding and enjoyable for everyone. At Smart Little Children Child Care Center your child will learn, grow, play and succeed!

The program is designed for the school-age children to extend the school learning experience, enjoy activities that are relevant to their interests, and to get some time with friends. On a daily basis children are exposed to a variety of fun, age-appropriate activities such as cognitive games, puzzles, creative art, science, sensory, computer, reading and music. We strive to encourage each child to build self-confidence and self-esteem, develop growth of independence, a sense of responsibility and social skills.
