Welcome to Smarthouse Academy! At Smarthouse Academy, we specialize in preparing children ages 3–5 for academic success and social confidence. Our program blends play-based learning with structured instruction to ensure children are ready for selective enrollment and top-performing elementary schools. We keep class sizes small to provide individualized attention, focusing on: Early Literacy & Math Foundations – building strong reading, writing, and number sense skills. STEM & Language Enrichment – hands-on science, technology, and language activities to spark curiosity. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) – teaching self-regulation, problem-solving, and kindness in a nurturing environment. Creative Arts & Music – encouraging imagination and self-expression. Parents love our warm, welcoming atmosphere and the way we communicate progress through regular updates. Our goal is to partner with families to ensure every child develops the cofidence, independence, and love of learning needed to thrive in school and beyond.
