S.M.A.R.T. at Home - Sept. '23

“Crawling like an alligator? Rolling like a pencil? Yardsticks on the floor? What are these activities my child keeps talking about?!”
 
How might you respond to parent inquiries about the S.M.A.R.T. program?
 
This year, as with every year, we are committed to meeting every child where they are at and to look at them through the lens of potential. One way we are doing this is by implementing activities in our classroom that are developmentally appropriate, brain stimulating, and movement based. The program is called S.M.A.R.T. and that stands for Stimulating Maturity Through Readiness Training. It is a developmental movement program that helps to get children’s brains and bodies ready to learn and uses movement to anchor learning. Also...it’s fun!

(Educators, yes, you can use these exact words if you want to!)

​Here is how it might look in the classroom:

• S.M.A.R.T. in Action
• Or find S.M.A.R.T. in Action on YouTube
