Angela’s Story

Before the Pre-K program, my son was home with me with little to no interaction with children his age. We wanted to put him in preschool, but could not afford it. When we learned of the Pre-K program we immediately signed him up. We were excited to learn he was accepted. Since then he has thrived. His teachers Ashley and Amy are amazing! I was impressed when my three year old came home able to write his first name.

He has since learned his address and phone number, numbers 1-20, and can recognize and write the whole alphabet. After two years I cannot say enough good things about the Pre-K Program at Ringgold and their staff. Keep up the good work!

Katie’s Story

When it came time to look for a preschool for our son, we looked at a lot of preschools. The education that we wanted for him based on my experience in the field was not available on our budget. When we heard about the Pre-K program at Smartkids we were skeptical that it would fully cover all our preferences for his education. After going to orientation, it became apparent that the set up and approach to learning could not be improved upon. Our experience with the Pre-K Counts program has bypassed our expectations.

The teachers use our son’s strengths to target skills that will help him excel in kindergarten. I ask him what he does in school and his response is always that he plays, but I see the learning in how he approaches problems, his curiosity, and random pieces of information that pop up daily. I can’t say enough good things about the program at Smartkids. The teachers have an exceptional understanding of how kids learn and about child development. I hope this program will continue for all of my kids.

Desiree’s Story

This program has allowed my child to grow in many ways. He has learned social skills and how to play well with others in group settings. The things he has learned in such a short period of time amazes me. It’s great to hear him come home from school and tell me about his day and how much he likes his teacher and friends.
