Apart from that, we provide bilingual education; we teach Spanish, as well as sign language. We also offer after school care for kids and even hold special events like summer camps for kids. Toddlers are only at the beginning of their educational careers. The quick rate of their developmental skills keeps our teachers excited and at a constant pace for their growing curriculum and age-appropriate strengths.
Services
Our development programs are fun, age-appropriate, and enhance and motivate the learning process. We have preschool, psycho-motor activities, arts and crafts, music, games, Spanish lessons, and four nutritious meals every day, but most important - our teachers are patient, loving, nurturing, and highly trained.
We provide high-quality childcare and education to children starting at 2 weeks of age through age 12. Smart Kids provides early stimulation to infants and toddlers. We have a smart kids development center preschool environment for little ones, with different areas of interest and fun play that stimulate learning.
Each staff member undergoes an extensive background check, including the yearly FBI Records update. We also require our staff to receive First Aid and CPR Training updates every two years. Finally, each team member receives more than 20 hours of professional development training each year. My name is Julia Berkuta.
Infants and Toddlers are at the beginning of their education. The quick rate of their developmental skills keeps our teachers excited and at a constant pace for their growing curriculum and age-appropriate strengths. We have wonderful programs like Early Head Start and Baby Steps in most of our locations, ask our directors for more information about these programs.

Today was the hardest day. Today was the last day our two little ones (ages 2 and 4) spent at Smart Kids in Taylorsville. The management, the teachers, and the cook all care so so much about the children in their care. The classrooms have 1 teacher/caregiver to only a few children, and they are excellent at teaching them and interacting. Our children know so much being taught here! It’s heart breaking we need to move them due to moving out of the area, we never would have considered anywhere else otherwise. Our last couple years here has been phenomenal. As working parents our number one concern

I am so thankful I was referred to this center. Marisol is the best director. She truly cares for all of her children that go there. It shoes in all of her teachers she has there as well. I would give her center and every teacher there a 10 star review. I have my son in the infant class and my 6 year old in the school age class. All of them are friendly, knowledgeable, sweet, and very in tuned with my children. the center is always clean and up to par on activities. They tell me stories, laughs, and fun times they have (send me lots of cute pictures). They always have a curriculum planned every

This day are has blown my mind. I’ve had 2 horrible daycare experiences prior to bringing my kids here. Let me tell you, just the atmosphere alone is so welcoming. It smells clean always. They’re all very well versed in what they do and they’re up to date on proper practices with the kids. The Montessori style helps my son who has ADHD and his behaviour has changed drastically since bringing him here. I’ve seen a dramatic increase in awareness, self esteem and overall happiness since finding this place. It’s changed our lives.

The staff at this daycare should not be able to call themselves child care professionals. My son (2 years old) who is special needs has been singled out by one of the staff members. The staff member in question has certifications allowing for the care of up to six children and cannot even handle 5. If your child has special needs I would recommend finding a different care center. This center cannot handle your child and will blame them and make up stories to have your child removed.

If you want your child to be loved and in a safe environment with no worries while your away this is the place to be. Marisol sets the standard for professionalism and cleanliness. She vets her staff to make sure she has the exact fit she needs. Such an amazing staff and children go here. Never once I I had any trouble. And through these extremely hard recent times I haven't always had the 💰 to go. Somehow someway Marisol has worked with my family. And my daughter is never happier. She has stories everyday of some fun activity or playing at the park. I wish I could give them 10 stars. The friends

Smart Kids is 5 stars! Tville is my preferred location because its close to home and girls school. Girls are now 6 and 4, been going there for at least over a year. The director Ms. Marisol is great, also the assistant Ms. Jen. They are highly credentialed compared to other directors in the area and it makes a huge difference because they are the ones who hire, train and observe the staff. Alot of the staff are happy here, several have been working here for quite a while and really enjoy working with kids. My girls love Ms Liz, Ms. Ethel, Ms. Alison.
What I really like is how the directors are

I have been thoroughly impressed with this daycare. My 5-year old daughter absolutely loves going to there. She has a big smile on her face when we go and a big smile on her face when I ask her about her day. Her response to "How was your day?" is usually, "GREAT!" She loves playing there. She loves her teachers. And I have been so impressed at how Marisol, the director, will contact me to answer any questions I have. In fact, just today, Marisol knew I was apprehensive about letting my daughter go on her first field trip. Right when the kids returned to Smart Kids, Marisol called me up to let

My husband unexpectedly died when our daughter was just over two months. Although my in laws were able to watch her they weren't able to after she turned a year; tons of anxiety with the thought of finding a place on my own.
I started googling and at the time the only somewhat bad review I saw was the Spanish immersion, which I don't understand why that would be an issue as long as your child is taken care of. My daughter has been going here for six months and I honestly could not find a better place. She is always well taken care of and the kids are happy and honestly, I feel the earlier kids

Smart Kids is hands down the best daycare in the area! Our first child was enrolled in 2008 and since then we have been blessed by having Smart Kids taking care of two of our children. The people who work there are truly dedicated to caring for kids and making sure they learn and have fun while parents are at work. The hours the daycare is open are very convenient and the drop off/pick up from school options fits our household's work schedule. Over the course of the last 10 years the relationship that has formed with the daycare staff is so wonderful that when we think of them we think as of a
