Drop-In Infant and Toddler Program

Our Facility

BSMART's Action-Based Learning Lab is Bermuda's only developmental facility catering to children between the ages of 0 - 4 years.

BSMART’s focus is on equalizing opportunity from the start for all children by providing resources and programs aimed at improving life chances in early childhood through the universal provision of our early education facility along with programs that integrate appropriate development, education, child care, parenting support and health services. The purpose of BSMART’s neurodevelopmental programming for infants and toddlers is to help parents maximize the critical periods of brain development during the first years of life by providing a stimulating environment and experiences that promote optimal development.

Our Learning Lab provides a time where children under the age of 5 and their caregivers can get together informally with others to enjoy a few hours of developmental movement activities and socialization. Time at BSMART, allows our smallest guests to experience a multitude of stimulating activities that foster optimal development. BSMART's Infant and Toddler Action-Based Learning Lab  is open to the general public (families/caregivers and their children) as well as nurseries and preschools (contact us for booking details).

What is a SMART Action-Based Learning Lab? 

A SMART Action-Based Learning Lab is a place where mums, dads, grandparents and caregivers gather with their babies for stimulation, interaction, neurological development, and fun.

Parents and caregivers work together to provide their babies with opportunities to learn through play.

Why go to BSMART's Action-Based Learning Lab?

Changes happen quickly as your baby grows and develops. Recent research indicates that your baby's first three years are really important for brain development and future health and well being.

For optimum development a baby needs a stimulating environment to play and learn. Learning Lab offer babies a wide variety of early learning experiences.

Babies busily explore and experiment with everything around them. They see, touch, taste, feel and hear to discover new information. As they discover new skills they repeat and practice them until they are mastered. Parents help by being a playmate and providing a variety of safe and developmentally appropriate play experiences.

The advantages of play rooms are undeniable. Learning Lab give parents and caregivers a chance to meet to discuss ideas, challenges, and the joy and frustration of parenting.

Babies and young children learn through play and Learning Lab offer a wide variety of experiences for them to explore.

Remember as a parent you are your baby’s first educator!

Babies need to move a lot before they are 2 years old so that they can sit still in school one day. There is no need for reclining chairs, walking rings or dangling contraptions – a six-pack and straight back starts with tummy time on a blanket! Low muscle tone can be prevented.

All you need to know is how to play!
