Smart Start Stephens County’s vision is that our young children will develop skills and build positive relationships so they are ready to succeed when they enter school.

Did You Know That...

At least 23% of Oklahoma’s kindergarten students begin their first year of school without the skills they need to keep up with their peers?

Among children who begin behind, only 1 in 8 will ever catch up? That means nearly 22% of all Oklahoma’s children are at risk to drop out of school before graduation.

About 90% of human brain development occurs before a child enters kindergarten?

What We Want...

To have a community where EVERY CHILD will have an opportunity for a smart start in school and in life!!!
