Join us for our popular and active S.M.A.R.T. Pre-K Workshop! Similar to S.M.A.R.T., S.M.A.R.T. Pre-K is a multi-sensory approach to teaching and learning that is designed to develop and enhance the critical readiness skills students need to succeed in school. S.M.A.R.T. Pre-K is specifically designed to prepare the three to five-year-old to learn through fun and age-appropriate activities.

The S.M.A.R.T. Pre-K Workshop will not only help you understand how to look at this younger age group developmentally, but it will also give you the tools you need to apply S.M.A.R.T. activities in your Pre-K classroom. S.M.A.R.T. Pre-K activities develop and enhance children’s fine motor skills, visual perception, eye-hand coordination, and auditory skills, all necessary tools for learning to read and achieving academic success.  

​All S.M.A.R.T. Pre-K Workshops are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and provide 24 contact hours. 

Standard Rate: $490
Early-Bird Rate: $465 
The deadline for the Early-Bird Rate is two weeks prior to the Monday before the workshop. ​
Principal Rate: $330
