Smart Start is a social franchise established in 2015 with the ambition to ensure every young child has access to quality early learning programs. The organization implements an evidence-based program for children aged three to five through a national network of trained practitioners from local communities. By addressing the gaps in early learning access, supply, and funding, Smart Start aims to create employment opportunities while improving children's readiness for school and overall success. The goal is to reach 1,000,000 children annually by 2030, positioning Smart Start as a leader in early childhood development in South Africa.
