KEY DEVELOPMENTAL DOMAINS

Seven Domains of
the SmartStart Curriculum

Every domain is woven into daily activities through play, exploration, and structured routines β€” building a complete foundation for school success and lifelong learning.

  • Build cognitive flexibility and independent thought

  • Develop a sense of identity and community
  • Understand their surroundings and environment
  • Show early global awareness and citizenship
