Welcome.

Smiles Included is dedicated to supporting busy parents and kids. We are working on a new website coming Fall '08 that will be part play room, part kitchen table and part bulletin board. It will be a place where parents can meet to discuss parenting issues, challenges and successes. Just as they might sit at the table at home, chatting over a cup of coffee. Children will find stories to read and games to play.

Our intent is to provide content that empowers parents and allows them to connect with their children in fun and meaningful ways.

Child Development Experts Join Editing Team

Posted February 4, 2008

We’re thrilled to announce five new members have joined our editorial staff! SmilesIncluded will be welcoming Cindy Mantegna, Angela Derrick, Theresa Adams, Cory Vas, and Judson Kusy to our work force. These five newest members of the editing team are trained in such pertinent areas as child development, pediatric occupational therapy, family relations, pediatric developmental evaluation, and the use of toys in developmental remediation. Many also hold advanced degrees in their fields.

“Adding these new editors really rounds out our editing staff,” says Ernest. “We now have a large, very talented group of reviewers and writers. They have so much experience working with and educating children across age groups, from infants to young teens. I’m very happy to have such a deep talent pool here at SmilesIncluded.”
