A SmartStart for all

To close the early learning access gap, SmartStart has developed a dynamic social franchise that combines a proven early learning programme with the creation of employment opportunities.

Designed to help equip children with age-appropriate skills and foundations, the programmes are implemented by specially selected and trained members of the community.

Our social franchise model relies on partnership. We work hand-in-hand with public, private and community-based organizations. Critical to our success is our partnership with community-based NGOs who operate as SmartStart Franchisors. They work to bring SmartStart to life in communities across our country – driving recruitment, employing SmartStart Club Coaches and providing day-to-day support and quality assurance to our SmartStart Practitioners.

Our current partners include:
