Smart Start of Davidson County helps parents and families of young children by promoting school readiness through resources and workshops. These efforts ensure children enter kindergarten with the skills needed to succeed.

The Parents as Teachers program is a key part of Smart Start’s support, offering home visits and group meetings where educators share strategies for healthy development and learning. This program empowers caregivers to be their child’s first teacher and builds strong family partnerships.

Literacy development is also a major focus. Smart Start provides families with books, reading activities, and tips for creating literacy-rich home environments. By encouraging daily reading, Smart Start helps children build vocabulary and a love for learning.
