I can’t say enough great things about Smarty Pants ELC!! From the nurturing and loving school setting, to the dedicated and devoted teachers and staff ( Ms. Brandi, Ms. Linda, Ms. Meena), to the awesome job they do in preparing your little for success after Smarty Pants, we truly couldn’t have picked a better place for our daughter to learn, grow and thrive at. Smarty Pants ELC is the best and I make sure to tell everyone I know about it.

Smarty Pants Early Learning Center is an exceptional daycare center that I highly recommend to any parent. Both of my daughters have attended this center, and I couldn't be happier with the care they have received. My oldest has graduated from Smarty Pants ELC, and we still have one that currently attends.

One of the things that sets Smarty Pants Early Learning Center apart is their warm and welcoming staff. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with smiles and made to feel like family. The teachers and staff are always available to answer any questions we have and provide updates on our children's progress. They truly care about each child and work hard to create a safe and nurturing environment for them to learn and grow.

The support that the staff provides goes above and beyond, and they have provided our daughters with the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond. Overall, Smarty Pants Early Learning Center is a fantastic daycare center that I highly recommend to any parent looking for high-quality childcare.

Ms. Brandy and Ms. Mina you have truly been a remarkable foundation for my son! He started school with Smarty Pants April 2023. Took the early entrance to kindergarten Dec 2023, also took the selective enrollment exam and passed them BOTH. He’s eligible to go to kindergarten at 4yrs old to a highly selective school! Beyond thankful for setting the tone of joyful learning and excellence!

I love SmartyPants!!! I’d planned to send my child there even before he was born. My son officially began his education with them as a 1 year old. I was beyond nervous about leaving my baby, but the staff was great about making us feel comfortable. They are loving and provide a rich experience for the students, which includes yoga and music!

Our son loves his teachers. He has grown so much and was accepted into our preferred school for kindergarten.

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!

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.

My daughter arrived at smarty pants in Jan of 2023 and Ms Brandy worked extremely hard with her. In Dec 2023 she took the CPS early entry exam and did amazing. She will be able to start kindergarten as a 4 year old. Highly recommend!!!
