Spring is Here

     I think it is safe to say that spring is here! While SMART START has so many wonderful things to offer, our spacious, shady and fenced backyard is one of the children's favorites. You can tell by the smiles on their faces that the children thoroughly enjoy being outside.
  
   Our SMART START outdoor area is equipped to keep the children happy and playing and imaginations flowing. SMART START friends play so well together and every day is a new adventure. Our young learners are kind, gentle, curious, and imaginative. They take turns, help and include each other, act silly, and have fun! Being outside stimulates the senses. As their caregiver and educator, watching the children embrace the outdoors is so rewarding!
