Smart Start Preschool provides early childhood care and education for children from approximately 6 weeks up to 5 years of age. The centre operates weekday programs and maintains multiple age-group classrooms to support children through the preschool years and transition to elementary school.

The Preschool Program provides opportunities to learn, play and form friendships while beginning basics such as colors, numbers, letter recognition and counting.
