"Where play turns into learning." — Established in Surrey, BC since 2015.
Smart Thinkers Childcare Centre was established in 2015 with a simple but powerful belief: children learn best through hands-on experience, guided discovery, and creative play.
Juliet Badong, our owner and head educator, earned her Early Childhood Education certification from Vancouver Career College in 2011. Her background in Montessori education and deep passion for child development inspired her to create a space where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow.
Our goal is to provide every child with a warm, caring experience and the opportunity to learn and grow every single day.
A safe, warm space where children feel secure to explore and express themselves.
Social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth — we support every dimension.
We honour play as the most powerful vehicle for early learning and development.
We are committed to supporting each child's unique development by encouraging curiosity, kindness, confidence, and compassion — building a strong foundation for life.
Each program is thoughtfully crafted to match your child's developmental stage, interests, and individual needs.
Our infant program is built on trust, gentle routines, and responsive care. Our educators build warm, consistent bonds with each baby — following their natural rhythms for feeding, sleep, and play.
Toddlers are natural explorers! Our program embraces this with hands-on, play-based learning that builds language, social skills, and independence through joyful daily experiences.
Our preschool curriculum sparks curiosity through music, literature, art, science, and movement. Children develop social skills, problem-solving abilities, and a genuine love of learning.
Our Pre-K program gives children the academic readiness, social confidence, and emotional tools they need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
Rich, purposeful spaces designed for exploration, creativity, and discovery.
