Smart Love Preschool is housed in a beautiful historic mansion on tree-lined
Buena Avenue in the Hutchinson Street Historic District on the North Side.
The campus includes the main house, coach house and garden, surrounded by a
wrought iron fence. Smart Love Preschool will occupy the main floor with
offices and parent/infant and parent/toddler programs on the second floor.
Preschoolers will be able to enjoy the outdoor setting, tend a children's
garden and hear stories in the home's beautiful library. Award-winning
architect, Patrizio Fradiani of Studio F is leading the renovation.

The property was recently gifted by The Day School to Menomonee Club to operate
programs for children and families. Menomonee Club invited Smart Love to consider
it as a home for its preschool. The history of the property as a school dates back
to 1943 when Mrs. Elizabeth Andrews, a pioneer in special education, converted her
home into a school.
