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.
