Start Smart Academy #1

Welcome to our program. The goal of Start Smart Academy is to provide the child with an environment that will promote his or her bi-social, psychosocial and cognitive development. We believe that we have a responsibility to provide a caring, nurturing, learning environment that will enhance children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Children are individuals with unique personalities and our job is to treat them with respect and dignity. We believe that open communication between the parent and the center creates a partnership that works together to instill appropriate values, morals and self-confidence within the child. An atmosphere of love and caring surrounds our infants. Their sensory development and perception are stimulated by their interactions with the teachers. Our Toddlers thrive in a program that introduces young children to early language skills, social interaction, cooperation and beginning educational concepts. Our Three and Four Year Olds are taught beginning reading skills and number concepts through age appropriateactivities. Our School-age tutoring program provides guidance while students do their homework. Students are encouraged to use problem solving skills and their creative abilities to develop arts and crafts, games, cooking activities etc. The program has written curriculum plans based on knowledge of child development and assessment of individual needs and interests. The learning environment and activities for children reflect the program’s philosophy and goals. Start Smart is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, sex, age, handicap, religion, disability, political beliefs or national origin. The center has an Open Door Policy and parents are welcome at all times WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL.
