Smart Start Centers
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada's preschool program, Smart Start, provides accessible and affordable early learning for children ages newborn to 5 years old in Carson City & Carson Valley.
Smart Start: Where Great Futures Begin!
Our preschool program, Smart Start, is dedicated to laying the essential building blocks for a child’s lifetime of learning, beginning as early as infancy. We provide a thoughtfully designed, safe, and welcoming environment where young learners feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to grow. Our research-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum supports the Nevada Pre-Kindergarten Standards and the Nevada Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) standards, ensuring a high-quality early learning experience. Through hands-on, play-based activities, we foster children's growth in all developmental domains, preparing them for kindergarten and beyond.
