Coronavirus Update
As a response to the evolving COVID-19 situation, and in an effort to keep our Smart Start families and community healthy, the Resource Room and play area will be closed starting Tuesday March 17th until Friday March 27th, which includes no lending of materials or utilizing our laminating, die-cut, etc. services. If you have any items currently on loan, please hold on to them until we reopen. While we regularly sanitize all Resource Room toys and materials, we will be doing a deep cleaning/sanitation while we are closed.
Please check our Facebook page and our Coronavirus Webpage for updates on COVID-19 and resources available in our community.
Our goal is to offer a comprehensive support system for families and early childhood professionals serving children ages birth to five.
