Smart Love Philosophy:

Pieper, M.D. Located in a beautiful historic mansion on the North Side of Chicago, the preschool will provide a setting that promotes children’s long-term academic success by strengthening children’s social and emotional health and inspiring their intellectual creativity through play-based learning.

As Smart Love preschoolers mature, they will have:

• The ability to enjoy the process of learning and not just the grade;
• The capacity to stick to the learning goal in the face of difficult subject matter, setbacks,
and times of not understanding the material;
• The ability to study in the face of feeling tired or having attractive social options;
• The willingness to ask for help when necessary yet not constantly seeking help because
of general feelings of incompetence.
