SmartKidz Story Time
African stories are rich in morals and for teaching, passing on cultural values, and for making points about life.
Story telling is an important aspect of African education.
At Smartkidz we carefully select African folktales, stories, riddles, and proverbs which aim at molding character and providing children with moral values such as honesty, integrity, courage, and lots more.

SmartKidz Kitchen Time
At Smartkidz club, we believe that cooking is an art, and getting kids engaged in the kitchen helps Cognitive Development: Cooking encourages children’s thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It also allows children the opportunity to use the knowledge they have and apply it by counting, measuring, following a sequence, following directions, and cause and effect. The kids also develop a sense of ownership, and the value of the output and proudly consume the food they created.
We believe food is part of our cultural expression, and as part of Smartkidz goals of heritage preservation, we expose the kids to a wide array of African food and snacks as part of the Smartkidz kitchen experience. Watch out and join us for any of our Smartkidz kitchen time, its always a delightsome experience for the kids.

Black History Month Stories of Black Icons
Stories/ History preserve culture and pass on cultural knowledge from one generation to another. In essence, stories keep cultures alive. Stories provide a timeless link to ancient traditions, legends, myths, and archetypes. But they also connect us to universal truths about ourselves and our world.
One of the ways Smartkidz celebrates African / Black History months is to share stories of amazing people from different works of life that the kids can see themselves in and can relate with and they learn and get inspired by the amazing stories.
