SimplySmart-Elmira is a beautifully built centre in a former church with largely wooden and natural materials providing a serene and calm environment for children to learn and thrive in. It is a stimulating daycare space that has been crafted to encourage children’s learning and abilities on a day-to-day basis.
SimplySmart-Elmira provides toddler and preschool programs with a hybrid approach to learning incorporating play based and Montessori principles and leveraging best practices from those philosophies. It has two beautiful playgrounds for toddlers & preschoolers, which enables them to spend optimal learning time outdoors all year round. SimplySmart-Elmira provides hot meals cooked on site and has amazing qualified teachers that emphasize the SimplySmart values of honesty, respect, determination, responsibility, gratitude & generosity and compassion with children. The curriculum is based on How Does Learning Happen and allows children to grow in areas of language, math, science, gross motor and social and self-help skills. The centre goes above and beyond all the Ministry of Education requirements and offers a holistic learning program including daily activities maximizing the learning potential of each child.
