What will I need my first day of school?
Each child has their own personal cubby. In their cubby, we ask that
they keep a full change of clothing for any spills of accidents that
may occur. We also require a sheet and a blanket for nap time. Any
other items you feel are necessary to comfort your child are, of course,
welcome.

Lunch and snack, what does Smart Start Academy provide?
We provide a morning and afternoon snack. Snack time consists of a carton
of milk or juice and a snack. Parents provide their child's lunch. Your
child must have a labeled lunch box. Please include a drink. We have
a microwave in each classroom for items that need to be warmed, and
a refrigerator in each classroom for items that need to be kept cold.

How will I know about my child's day?
A personal chart for the parents will be provided each day. The chart will include information such as; how your child ate, how your child slept, how their disposition was that day, and any other pertinent information. The classroom teacher is also available for you to speak to at your convenience.

What is the discipline policy?
Smart Start Academy promotes and uses Guidelines for Positive Discipline.
Acceptable behavior is encouraged by giving positive verbal rewards.
This reinforces a child's good feeling about his/her behavior and serves
as an example to the other children. For a child not listening or cooperating,
the child is seated by a teacher and reminded of acceptable behavior.
The next tactic used for a child who is continually demonstrating unacceptable
behavior is a period of time out. This time out is not a punishment,
but a time for the child to calm down and remember what is acceptable
behavior.
If behavioral problems persist, the parents will be notified.
