Learning through play is all about bringing joy, creativity, imagination, and collaboration into the learning process. When children can learn through play in a safe, fun, encouraging environment, their dazzling inner brilliance naturally comes out!

Our Vision is to provide a welcoming and safe environment that sparks a love for learning and facilitates personal discovery for each child through interactive learning, reflection, STEM projects, student-centered learning, teacher-directed activities, and plenty of opportunity for real-world connections.

Syieda Logan, a local mother of four has been in public education since 2001. She followed in her mother’s footsteps, a recently retired public school teacher for 35 years. Syieda’s degrees in Elementary Education, Special Education, Instructional Technology, and as a Reading Specialist proves her innate love for education and her desire for continued growth. Syieda has expressed a genuine love for children since she was very young. She’d often tutor the neighborhood children and even a few adults from the front porch of her Southwest Philadelphia home. Syieda, raised in a three parent household; mother, father, and grandmother experienced an overabundance of nurturing, love, and support from her caregivers. She decided she wanted to in turn provide this same framework to every child she’d ever come in contact with.

SMG Clubhouse named after her grandmother, Sallie Mae Gordon provides care for the WHOLE CHILD and the WHOLE FAMILY. Sallie Mae allowed Syieda to see what hard labor entailed, the importance of being educated, and how to love and enjoy every aspect of life.
