Smart Start Centers
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada's new daycare & pre-kindergarten program, Smart Start, provides accessible and affordable early childhood care for those ages newborn to 5 years old in Carson City & Carson Valley.
Smart Start Philosophy
The mission of BGCWN's Smart Start is to provide an age-appropriate curriculum that meets the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs and abilities of each child. In doing so, we seek to inspire and enable the healthy development of all young children, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential in life.
Our curriculum is derived from the Nevada Department of Education’s Pre-Kindergarten standards. Through planned activities and consistent daily schedules, as well as a safe and caring environment, our staff meet each child at their individual creative, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs to assist them on their developmental path.
