Owner and Director, Danielle DeSano-Smith, opened It's A Small World (ISW) as an in-home child care facility in 1992. Although ISW began as a summer camp for school aged children, in the fall of 1992, we quickly realized the need for quality infant and toddler care in the community and stayed open to offer a year round program. Danielle's husband, Jay Smith, joined her shortly before the birth of their first child in 1996. In 2005, Danielle and Jay opened the Explorer Club (school aged program) in its current location. In 2007, ISW incorporated its Pre-Kindergarten ready program with the school-aged program. In 2008, ISW moved its Infant, Toddler, and Little Adventurer Preschool classrooms to the same location as the Explorer Club.
The most important foundation for children's success is a caring adult who helps them make sense of their world. ISW and EC teachers aspire to emanate imagination, build self-esteem and help children discover new things every day. If you are a dedicated person who understands the importance of his/herself in the daily lives of children you might be the right person for our team.
