Hayat El-Ossmani (Executive Director)

Dear B-Smart Families,

My Name is Hayat El-Ossmani. Proudly a wife of a loving & supportive husband, and a mother of three wonderful children. I hold a Bachelor degree in Business Management, a Diploma in Early Learning and Child Care Development, and a Diploma in Cultural & Islamic Studies. I have been working with children for more than ten years and am currently the owner/operator of B-Smart Learning Center; a trilingual preschool, a daycare, and an out of school care in Edmonton. My sincere and wholehearted dedication to the betterment of children’s and parent’s lives made me decide to make early learning my life’s career. I truly believe that knowledge is power, that a child’s education is the most valuable thing in the world, and that every child deserves to have a safe educational environment to learn and grow in.

For me, B-Smart is a dream come true and our mission is very simple: We are dedicated to empowering knowledge, modern manners and proper etiquette in every child to achieve more and to be the change through the delivery of high standards of service.

At B-Smart, we help shape your child into a competent person in his/her own rights. Each child will be continuously inspired to be a positive contributor to society and will have equal opportunities to develop his/her personal traits.

Our “Learn through Play program” supports every child to meet all his/her developmental needs through bringing the world to their fingertips using active, interesting, and simple styles. Our safe and healthy environment, our experienced and professional team, as well as our mission to provide the highest quality of early learning service are a few of the many reasons why B-Smart is one of the top Early Learning and Child Care Centers in Edmonton.

I take pride in advocating for and mentoring many youth females in Edmonton as I believe that women play an important role in the Alberta workforce. In 2018, I received the Annual Entrepreneurship Award from EMAAN (Edmonton Muslim Achievement Awards Night) and one of the two 2021 recipients of the Community Leadership Award from the Edmonton Mennonite Centre (EMCN).

I am currently volunteering as a vice president for Northern Alberta Preschool Teachers Association. I am also an active community member involved with many non-profit organizations to assist local and overseas campaigns to support the homeless as well as the less fortunate children, women, and seniors. When I am not working, I like to spend my time with my family and friends as well as enjoying my talents in photography, writing reflections, and cooking.

My quote in life: "Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valor of the brave"

I am sure we are going to learn so many great things this year and I am looking forward to every minute of it!

B-Smart doors are always open to welcome you and your children. For more information about our programs, please do not hesitate to stop by the center or to send me an email at info@b-smart.ca.

Dear B-Smart Families,

My name is Mandy! I’ve been working for L & J Day Care for over 16 years! And look forward to my future with the program as B-Smart! To understand who I am more, I’ve grown up in the facility myself attended as a child. Worked with the original owning family, and they paved my path into child care. Through my years I’ve worked with all ages in every classroom as an assistant and a supervisor. I’ve also been a program director for 10 years through ownership changes. I have a passion for working with OSC children as I love the challenge in finding activities to keep them engaged, interested and challenged to learn more. I feel that with my early childhood education diploma, my vast child care experience that I can be an asset to any child’s life! I look forward to working with all the families at B-Smart!! Stop into the OSC room and say Hi !
