In partnership with Henderson County Public Schools with support from the United Way of Henderson County, Smart Start is leading an initiative to help prepare children and families for kindergarten. Smart Start co-hosts Kindergarten Readiness Rallies in the Spring and provides leadership for transition teams housed within local elementary schools.
Working together with early care and education professionals and public K-5 schools, we hope to build a bridge that will help children be better prepared to begin kindergarten ready to succeed.
We aim to support children and families in all areas of development including language development, emotional and social development, cognitive development, physical development and self-care, and approaches to learning.
