Smart Love Family Services is a nonprofit organization founded in 2002. Our mission is to help children, adolescents, parents, couples, and adults achieve greater inner well-being, sustain closer relationships, and reach their full potentials in life. Our services are based on the Smart Love™ principles and include early childhood education, counseling services, parent coaching and education classes. We also provide training and consultation to agencies, schools, and organizations, helping their childcare personnel positively influence children’s social and emotional outcomes. Counseling services, support groups, psycho-educational testing, and therapeutic tutoring are available in Oak Park, IL, and in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. Early childhood education programs are offered at Smart Love Preschool in Logan Square. Smart Love Preschool is a fully-licensed, not-for-profit school serving children ages 6 weeks to 6 years old. We offer a play-based curriculum, focused on creating a positive relationship with learning in a nurturing environment. Programs include toddler classes, play school for ages 2-3, and preschool for ages 3-6. Summer camp is available for ages 2-6. At Smart Love, we foster children’s social and emotional development as the portal for their academic growth and success. All learning—from how to get along with others to finding joy in learning new things—flows from the well-being of the child. Widely considered by child development experts around the world as key to success in school, our focus on social and emotional development means our students move on to elementary school with a desire to learn, a sense of confidence in the classroom, and a resiliency that keeps them engaged in learning.
