Created by The School Foundation, Start SMART offers a variety of resources to help parents map their child's development progress as they prepare for 5K. Over the years The School Foundation has prided itself on supporting and contributing to FSD1's K-12 teachers and students. With the creation of the Start SMART program, we've added a brand new goal-- assisting parents in preparing their childre
n for kindergarten. We've developed a wealth of resources designed to give parents the information they need to chart their child's development, including:
--Interactive quizzes to help parents gauge their child's current developmental progress
"Ask an Expert" articles where parents can seek advice from pediatricians and child development psychologists
--Detailed year-by-year development breakdowns to help parents set goals and identify milestones as they are reached
--Videos, links, and articles to assist parents with a variety of tasks including everything from choosing a school/daycare to selecting age-appropriate toys to aid in development. There are multiple ways to get involved with Start SMART and we encourage every business, individual, and parent to lend a hand to ensure that our community's future scholars build strong foundations for their educational paths.
