It's simple.

We all want what's best for our children. How we help kids learn today -- in their first five years of life -- can help them succeed tomorrow in school and in life.

But we also know that raising kids is hard! No one should have to do it alone.

At your local Smart Start, we’ve spent more than 25 years finding the best ways to help children in our community succeed. We understand the noisy mealtimes, snuggles at bedtime, sleepless nights and just how many questions you have as a parent or early educator.

We’re here to make sure everyone in Henderson County has what they need to help our children learn and grow.

Mission:  Our mission is to support, educate, and advocate to build a strong foundation for young children in our community.

Vision:  Our vision is that all families will have access to quality resources, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
