The best things in life really can be free.

Family resource rooms give your family a chance to…
Get away from it all
Have fun together
Learn important skills
And they’re free, thanks to Smart Start Central Oklahoma.

These rooms are for families with young children.
They have books, videos, games, crayons and toys your children will love. You can
Cuddle up and read to them
Play games or color with them
Watch them enjoy the toys
Let them learn to play with other children

Resource rooms are great places to get your little ones learning early.
It’s never too early for children to start learning…
Their ABCs
The names of basic colors and shapes
How to count to 10
Even babies love to be held on your lap to look at a picture book. Resource rooms have bags of books you can borrow and take home, too.

Resource rooms are for parents, too.
They have…
Computer labs for adults
GED preparation classes
English as a Second Language (ESL) classes
Information to guide you as a parent

The rooms also have information about services such as…
Medical insurance
Prenatal care
Dental care
Immunizations for your children
If you can’t afford these things, a staff person at a resource room can tell you where to go for help and give you phone numbers to call.

Parents who have visited resource rooms say they’re welcoming and child-friendly. Call today for hours of availability!
