Programs

For the Children
Programming for children birth to five has been designed to equip children entering school with the cognitive, language, physical, and social/emotional assets that facilitate school and life success. Programs include curriculum-based play-to-learn and socialization groups, field trips, language and literacy activities, basic math skills, along with many other fun, innovative early learning programs for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

For the Families
Smart addresses the needs of every member of the family. Recognizing and building on the strengths of families enables us to nurture strong and trusting relationships in a way that other service providers have not. Our goal is for families to confidently embrace their role as their child’s first teacher. Adult caregivers have access to crisis intervention and family stabilization services and are encouraged to set long and short-term goals to improve their economic status and to overcome social challenges. Smart provides services to every member of the family. School aged siblings are offered tutoring and homework help, along with programming provided by Girl Scouts, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and other partner organizations. Referrals are made for additional support services as deemed necessary.
