Child Day Care / Preschool in Manhattan, NYC
 Smarter
Toddler is a Preschool on Manhattan's Upper West
Side founded by parents of gifted young children
who wanted a progressive preschool with an
advanced arts-based curriculum that their own
children could benefit from, hence the name.
Smarter Toddler was developed around the idea
that quality childhood care and education should
be homelike. From the vintage toys, low height
lounge chairs to the homey lamps and tons of
original artwork, everything was carefully
designed to make children feel like they are at
home. Choosing a nursery or preschool is one of
the biggest decisions you will make, which is
why at Smarter Toddler, you will find a great
service and fantastic care and education for
your child. Smarter Toddler accepts students
from 3 months to 5 years.

 Quality Environment: The first thing you notice when you step inside
Smarter Toddler is how colorful, warm and sunny
everything is. The second thing you notice is
happy, smiling children. We offer hands on
learning, using all senses to maximize the
potential within each child. Parents love the
bright, inviting musical spaces with Jazz or
World Music playing on the speaker system and
how everything is labeled to help encourage the
love of reading. The 2 outdoor playgrounds
nearby allow the children to do what they like
to do best... play!
Quality Teachers: Smarter Toddler
teachers are true professionals in the field of
education for younger children. Our teachers
complete an extensive training period and are
responsible for increasing their skills by
continuing education and attending workshops. Our experienced staff
is dedicated to making your child's time full of
love, learning and fun each and every day. They
teach and foster respect by allowing children to
think for themselves, make decisions, work
toward their own solutions to problems, and
communicate their ideas. At Smarter Toddler you
will find teachers who are patient, loving and
dedicated to the children in their care.
Programs:
- Infant (3 months to 12 months): Infants are
cared for and nurtured by our professional staff
in their own private and personal environment
filled with color and stimulation to meet the
needs of their development. Caregivers provide
support to infants throughout the day with a
balanced routine and are alert to babies' cues.
The environment is set up to foster infants'
physical, sensory, social, emotional and
intellectual development. A daily individual
journal is kept on their progress of early
development stages, which is a communication
vehicle between parents and staff.
- Waddler (12 months to 18 months): Waddlers
range from twelve to eighteen months of age.
This program has been designed to develop a
sense of awareness in the area of color, sound,
textures and feelings and the curriculum
prepares the Waddler towards their first step of
independence before entering into the Toddler
program. Daily activity reports are provided.
- Toddler (18 months to 3 Years): Our Toddlers
enjoy safe and protective surroundings to
explore and
develop new abilities. Small and
large muscle coordination is developed through
outside and inside free play with age appropriate toys. Toddlers are learning to
explore the sights, sounds and textures of the
world. Newly mobile toddlers want to take off in
all directions at once. However, they have a
need to feel safe and secure in their
environment so that they can continue to develop
their love of learning. Toddlers learn by:
Doing, Observing, Playing.
- Preschoolers (3 - 5 Year Olds): The 3 year old
will begin to experience the joy of
self-expression in the areas of music, arts &
crafts, science, movement, story hour, cooking
and organized games in our supervised play
areas. We also emphasize learning to share with
friends and developing self-help skills and
respect for others and materials. Main subjects
& activities: Art; Language; Music and movement;
Pretend play; Manipulative activities such as
stacking blocks, pegboards and stringing beads;
Blocks - Decision making, planning, sharing,
cooperating, sense of accomplishment and
pre-math skills; Science - Basic cognitive
