Smarty Pants Early Learning Center

My daughter attends Smarty Pants and I absolutely love the nurturing and educational aspect of this school. The overall learning environment is top notch! Her joy for school and learning is directly related to Smarty Pants and the culture they have created. Read more >

I'm so thrilled we switched to Smarty Pants Early Learning Center. We'd heard so many wonderful things about it and they were all true! My daughter was challenged to reach her full potential. Her confidence sky rocketed and she was prepared to excel in kindergarten. She loved to go to school each day and see Ms. Bea, Ms. Daphne, Mr. Corey, and Mr. Armani. The attention and love they showed her was unparalleled. One of the best decisions we've made for her so far! Read more >

I've known Daphne, Owner of Smarty Pants,
since she was a Young Girl. I've had the pleasure of watching Her grow and making
her way through College then on to pursue
her career in Education.

As an Educator, Daphne noticed a lot of the students were not academically prepared and this bothered her. Daphne decided to make a difference. Here mission is to ensure ever Child in her care is prepared academically, physically and socially with a solid foundation.

One of the many things I admire about
Daphne, is her heart to annually give back
to the Community by feeding the Homeless
at Thanksgiving.

She and her Staff are ready to serve you
and your child with quality Child Care preparing them to be lifelong Learners. Read more >

Ms. Daphne and her staff are amazing with those children, my daughter truly enjoyed EVERYTHING. The children are learning one and two grade levels ahead yet very enjoyable for them. There is definitely proof in the results, my daughter and all of her friends that attended Smarty Pants received seats at Selective Enrollment schools and now my daughter who is 7 wants to volunteer to read to the babies whenever needed. We can't pass Smarty Pants without her asking do we have time to visit Ms. Daphne? I highly recommend her program for your little one. Read more >

Smarty Pants (SP) is lead by Daphne Williams who is very aware of what it takes to be academically successful. Education is empowering. “Once you learn to read you’ll be forever free,” said Douglass. She taught my daughter (and everyone in her group) to read before 2. My daughter was beginning to grasp advanced Mathematic concepts at a young age because SP knows what a child’s mind can conceive. The push is positive and proper. Everyone in her group was accepted to a selective enrollment school. In a city/world where your early academic path/choices can greatly influence your adult lifestyle, SP is THE MOVE for your young scholar. Read more >

My son has been enrolled at Smarty Pants Early Learning Center since he was three months old. Four years later, he has tested into one of the top selective enrollment elementary schools in Chicago. He received a 1st Round offer into our 1st choice school! Smarty Pants provides the foundation for children to excel academically but also socially and emotionally. My daughter has also been enrolled at Smarty Pants since she was four months old. She’s thriving, and we’re confident that the foundation provided by Smarty Pants will also prepare her for success! We highly recommend Smarty Pants and have had several other friends enroll their children. Smarty Pants provides a loving environment for the children, you feel like family, and my children look forward to going every day! Read more >
