Director's Note on Closings: 

Please note the decision for closings comes with my contemplation. We take great pride in our staff here at Smart Stuff. In order to retain our staff we do need to allow them days off to rest and recharge, as working with children can be overwhelming at times. We also want to allow them to have holidays with their families, as in the child care industry we operate year round. The other factor is being family owned and operated. We do maintenance during these closings. We also do professional development and other trainings for our staff, which is paid for by Smart Stuff Learning Center. Professional development, trainings, CPR and First Aid, repainting, deep cleaning, floors waxed, and much more are all expenses we see very important for the growth and knowledge here at Smart Stuff Learning Center. These days off are used very much to improve the quality of the care each child receives at Smart Stuff. We appreciate your business and would not be here without you!
