Smart Start News

After the tremendous success of last year's symposium, Smart Start, the early childhood division of United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta, grantee for three Early Reading First projects in Georgia, is sponsoring a two-day Symposium. The symposium is designed to meet the needs of the instructional staff from the Dream, Readers and Light projects and other professionals in the field of early childhood.




I attended the Smart Start Early Education Substitute Teacher Program training in Athens, GA during the week of January 26-30, 2009. I wanted to say thank you so much for the opportunity and the chance to attended in Athens, even though I was from Atlanta. I enjoyed everything that was offered, especially Trudy Friar, one of the program's trainers. I found a job and will start next week. Thanks so much. Your program was great!!

The Smart Start Early Education Substitute Teacher Program is specifically designed to recruit and instruct adults in the needs of young children, how children develop and learn, and the needs of a child care program. Graduates of the program will provide children, ages 6 weeks to five years, with a caring and knowledgeable substitute teacher when their regular teacher is out.

This innovative 5-day training program is offered several times at various locations throughout Georgia. For a list of training class dates, times, and locations, click on the "Training Classes" link above.

The goals of this program are:

  • To provide interested candidates with an alternative pathway in the educational field of early care and learning.

  • To provide qualified substitute teachers to licensed and registered Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning child care facilities.
