Simply Smart (LLC) is an organization dedicated to helping families create centers of learning that promote joy, connection, independence, character & excellence. Simply Smart was started by a mother and daughter determined to provide better resources for their own family. As a busy attorney with now seven children, and a grandmother with over twenty grandchildren, they recognized a new approach to learning was needed that was more effective and workable for families. At Simply Smart, we understand first hand the challenges (and benefits) of teaching children in a family setting. The solutions shared are ones that work.

A DAUGHTER'S PERSPECTIVE
It has been said, “if you want to teach a child to dance, you have to turn on the music.” Dancing without music is not fun or enjoyable. It seems silly and has no obvious purpose. The same is true when learning other subject – if you want to teach a child math, literature, science or social studies, you need to turn on the music. You need to teach them why it is interesting, relevant and fun.
