By harnessing the power of partnership, community,
and collaboration, SmartStart provides a unique National Delivery Platform that addresses the lack of affordable, quality early learning programmes, the shortage of pre-schools and the dire need for trained and licensed practitioners, while creating new employment opportunities.
The SmartStart Early Learning Programme has been developed to:
1) Improve young children’s readiness for learning, school performance and overall success in life.
2) Be delivered by Early Learning Practitioners – smart, caring individuals from the local communities that are specially recruited, trained and licensed by SmartStart and its partners.
Today, we support a rapidly expanding nationwide network of Early Learning Practitioners who are licensed to implement our quality early learning programme for children aged between three and fives years.
Every child in South Africa has access to quality early learning programmes.
To ensure all children have the right foundations in place to succeed, while creating employment and social enterprise opportunities, and stimulating economic activity in our most under-resourced communities.
To close the early learning access gap, we need to:
Close the early learning Opportunity gap
Close the early learning Supply gap
Close the early learning Funding gap
The SmartStart team is a close-knit group of people with a shared vision for increasing access to early learning. Click on our smiles to get to know us better.
