Starting school this year is different,
but it doesn't have to be scary.
My name is Holly Howat, and I am a mom facing some tough decisions about where and how my child will learn this year. I wanted information and tools to make good decisions. Ones I could feel confident about. Ones based on common sense and good information.
​
I couldn't find anything that was helpful, so I am creating the tools and finding the information I need. But I didn't want to keep it to myself. I wanted to share.
Welcome to Smart Start Help, a place to find information and tools to make good decision for your family.
