SMART Preschools has set its aims at being known as leaders in all areas of Early Years Education. From its new and unique curriculum and approach to teaching, to its exclusive collaboration with Swedish Furniture and equipment provider Aba Skol, to its parents and teacher support networks and clubs, it sets itself apart from all other providers and is a league of its own.
Curriculum:
The SMART Preschools curriculum is unique and only available in our preschools. Developed by Founder Malin Drennow Hogstrand, it blends the Scandinavian approach of learning through play, which she experienced herself in her native Sweden, with British teaching techniques. The result is fully prepared children ready to enter the top prep schools with confidence and a love for learning.
Qualified Teachers:
Believing that excellent teachers deliver excellent teaching, all recruits to SMART Preschools not only need to have a joy and love of teaching and children, but also have excellent qualifications. Teachers must have a min Degree Level qualification and Assistants min level 3 to work in our preschools.
Nutrition:
As true believers that healthy eating is key to a child’s development, SMART Preschools has worked with a leading child nutritionist to develop wonderfully tasty and varied, seasonable menus for preschools. Recipes are made with as much organic produce as can be sourced and include allergy and vegetarian options. With a balanced diet of meat, fish and vegetable dishes, menus incorporate tried and tested staple dishes as well as new tastes from across the world.
Marketing:
Marketing is key to raising awareness of your business and increasing your client list. From website design and content, advertising campaigns, direct mail, social media, media relations and events, our team of marketing consultants have delivered content rich and engaging campaigns to ensure high volume enquiries which convert to registrations and places.
SMART Preschools also takes its core message of the importance of Early Years learning out of the preschool and into homes through clever and engaging marketing and PR campaigns, designed to raise the level of awareness of parents and teachers in the importance of Early Years education and how fun and exciting it can be for all to participate in.
Outreach and sharing:
SMART Preschool’s Pop-Up sessions are designed to demystify the Early Years goals for parents and carers as well as provide stimulating and engaging exercises for young children aged 1-3 as they prepare to enter preschool. Located in community halls, they replicate a preschool session, led by Teachers and qualified assistants, with activities covering the main areas of learning including, focused learning, physical development, messy play, role play, sensory and maths and literacy.
Furniture:
SMART Preschools are leading the way with preschool furniture, exclusively collaborating with Swedish manufacturer ABA Skoll to be the first to bring this pioneering equipment to families in the UK. They are the only manufacturers who currently produce completely toxic free furniture supporting our beliefs on sustainability and the aim to be an environmental enterprise on all levels. This underlines our Scandinavian philosophy of learning through play and desire to offer the best education and environment possible for the children.
