School Readiness Workshop
2022-08-10 10:30 - 11:30 | Van Vorst Park, Jersey City , United States
School Readiness Workshop: A Discussion on Preparing Little Ones & Parents for the World of Daycare and Preschool
How can I best prepare for my child to start school?
For each parent individually, this decision should not be taken lightly. However, before considering the pros and cons of preschool education, parents must first and foremost consider their family situation. For many parents who work full-time, entering their child into daycare or preschool is not always a result of desire but of necessity, and for those parents fortunate enough not to require full-time care, the child’s need for socialization and academics weighs heavily as the child ages.
Join us for A Discussion on Preparing Little Ones for the World of Daycare and Preschool and Parents: Reentering the Workplace After Childbirth. This workshop will be held at the gazebo at Van Vorst Park, Jersey City on Wednesday, August 10th from 10:30 am-11:30 am by the Preschool Administrator of 12 years, Erin Kahy.

During the workshop, there will be a discussion on preparing your little one for the world of school and beyond child preparation to prepare yourselves as parents for this new journey. The discussion will also head into breastfeeding/pumping while at the office, introducing a bottle, and separation anxiety for children of all ages.
Children are welcome to join the workshop. Please bring a blanket to sit on as there will be no seating. We will be at the gazebo at Van Vorst Park.

This workshop is free to attend but registration is required.

Open House Event:
Thursday April 13th @ 7:30

Smart Start Academy in Jersey City uses a creative curriculum that focuses on project-based investigations as a means for children to apply skills. Four areas of development are addressed through this curriculum: social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and language.
Our Mission & Philosophy
“Our mission is to create a nurturing, safe, and respectful environment for our students, parents, and teachers. We strive to create an exceptional learning experience for the whole child, cognitively, socially, emotionally, physically, and creatively.”Smart Start Academy is dedicated to bringing each student the best environment for learning and creativity. Our full-day programs have a curriculum that meets every learning style in a way that nurtures every aspect of a child- the physical, emotional, intellectual, and social since each child is unique and has their own needs and learning style.
Our Curriculum
One philosophy we strongly believe in is Howard Gardner’s notion of multiple intelligences. This theory states that there are many different ways to have intelligence. Most programs base intelligence on learning in a spatial (visual) or logical manner, but not everyone is only intelligent in that area. Some people, especially children, are more intelligent in bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, or many other areas.
Incorporating this view into our curriculum means focusing on many subjects and activities. It is essential for us to let children participate in activities that will build their self-confidence. The best way to do this is to help the child feel good at something through different ways of expressing themselves.
Our lessons are tailored to fit the children’s different developmental needs and ages in our programs since the children we work with range from infants to preschoolers. Our experienced teachers use this as a foundation to bring students various structured and free-play activities. It is important to us that children have a lot of opportunities to learn in different ways.
Creating a Nurturing, Safe, and Respectful Environment
Our staff is focused on helping each child reach their full potential. They help nurture the children so that they feel loved and valued. Each student matters to us, and we want their education to start in the best way possible- with people who care about them. It is also important to us that the environment is nurturing but also safe and respectful. Without these elements, learning and teaching are a lot more complicated.
The highest levels of learning are only reached when a child feels safe and calm. Therefore, we ensure that we only hire the most professional and experienced people to work with our students with the right qualifications and pass a background check. We work hard to ensure the students feel safe and comfortable in and around our location.

Making Education an Investment
It is also important to us that parents know that we are team players. To limit the variability that children sometimes experience at school and home, parents and teachers create an ideal situation for every student. When all the adults cooperate, it makes the learning process much more effective. Parents and teachers not only work together but respect one another and their opinions. We encourage communication between all parties involved to help keep everyone informed and invested in the student’s education.

At SSA, we know that all work and no play make learning harder, especially for young children. Therefore, our emergent teaching includes providing meaningful experiences for students through many opportunities, including play and exploration. These experiences contribute a lot to our learning environment by using different methods to give variety and ultimately help each student to reach their highest potential.
