What TOOTRiS does for you

SMART has partnered with TOOTRiS, a nationwide childcare platform, to help members find high-quality, affordable care close to home or the jobsite. Premium TOOTRiS access normally costs $24.99 a month — for eligible members, SMART International covers it, so it's free to you.

Who can use it

SMART members in good standing with children ages 0–12, at participating locals. Not sure about your local? Just ask — we'll check for you.

Good to know: TOOTRiS doesn't pay for the childcare itself. It gives you premium access to find the best and most affordable options. Some locals also offer childcare subsidies — ask your Care Coordinator.
