I love this daycare my son spent 3 years here and he is now in kindergarten and he is so advanced because of the staff in the daycare. Specifically Mrs. Mirtha my son loves her, sometimes I have to stop by for him to still say hi because he misses her! He was a picky eater, the staff here help and understood and now he eats everything! He knows phonetics, math and he is super clean and well behaved. I know is the way they treated him as he always loved to go here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this beautiful review! We are so happy to know he still practicing good habits and we miss him as well!!

I just wanted to give a shout out to the woman that work at this facility. I have had the pleasure to be with them, for a few years now. I have three children in all different age groups and I appreciate the dedication each girl receives from their teachers and administrators. Ranging from support with school pick up, educational and fun craft activities. Last I wanted to say thank you for supporting my family and I through my struggles, including a messy divorce. These ladies have treated us like family, no matter what our background was.

Estamos muy agradecidos con Smart Kids y con todas las maravillosas profesoras que cuidan de nuestra hija de 3 años. Recientemente nos mudamos desde Chile a Utah, y comenzar el jardín infantil en un nuevo país fue un gran cambio para nuestra familia. Desde el primer día, las profesoras han tratado a nuestra hija con muchísimo amor, paciencia y cariño. La han ayudado a sentirse segura, cómoda y feliz mientras se adapta a su nuevo entorno. Como padres, nos da mucha tranquilidad saber que ella está en un lugar donde la cuidan y la tratan con cariño. Agradecemos sinceramente toda la dedicación y el amor que el equipo de Smart Kids entrega a los niños cada día. Gracias por hacer que esta nueva etapa de nuestras vidas sea un poquito más fácil y por cuidar tan bien a nuestra pequeña. ¡Recomendamos totalmente Smart Kids! ❤️

My babies have both been loving it here! My oldest was having trouble making friends and being isolated at her old school. At smart kids, she wakes up excited to go see her new friends! It makes me incredibly happy seeing the progress she’s made in such little time(:

We love Smart Kids Kearns! My kids (one school-age, one toddler) have gone here off and on over the past year, and Smart Kids has always been so flexible with our schedules, making room for us sometimes with very little notice. The kids both love coming to "school" every day—the teachers are always so pleasant and caring, the administration is hands-on and helpful, and the mood and atmosphere is always so controlled and nurturing. Other daycares are all chaos and crying, frustrated teachers and short-tempered staff. Smart Kids gives me peace of mind that my kids will have a positive, nurturing day when I am away—and when I pick them up at the end of the day, their smiles confirm that I made the right choice.
Response from the owner:Thank you! We’re more than happy to have your family with us and make a difference in your child’s life, very glad to read your toughts on us. We really appreciate it!

Es maravilloso el cuidado y el amor que le dan a los niños no solo porque yo lo veo sino porque mi hijo así me lo hace saber estuvo un tiempo en otro daycare y en ese tiempo ni un solo día entro feliz y acá está en la casa y dice que extraña a sus profesoras y sus amiguitos, eso simplemente se hace estar tranquila de que lo dejo en buenas manos ❤️❤️❤️
Response from the owner:Thank you very much for the kind words! It makes the staff feel so appreciated!

Searched and searched for an affordable, clean environment for my 18month old when I had to stop WFH. I knew immediately this was the place. My Son has thrived here. They taught him sign language day 1, he also speaks basic Spanish now. His teachers have all been gems. Great hidden gem.
Response from the owner:We commit with our beliefs on providing children a safe, healthy, and quality environment. Thank you for trusting us and letting us be part of your child’s life. Our teachers are very knowledgble and caring that make children have the best learning experiences every day.

My son has been attending this daycare for 2 years. He started attending when he turned 3 and is now 5. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care he receives! Adrianna and the staff do an incredible job at taking care of every one of the kids who attend and treat them all like their own. My son is always excited to go to daycare, hugs his teachers, and tells them he loves them. He feels like he has a family here, which means so much to me. The facility is exceptionally clean, the curriculum is very well thought out, and the activities they plan for all kids are jam-packed with fun. I've never had any concerns. I feel 100% confident that my kid is safe and well taken care of when he's here. I could honestly go on and on about how amazing this daycare is! I want to call out a few more highlights that have stood out to me over the years: - My son has learned so much from the curriculum, he's almost reading, and surpassing a kindergarten level (he's not even in kindergarten yet). - They host frequent parties that the families can attend. - Some of the activities they've planned for the kids his age have been petting zoo day, holiday themed parties, and tons of outside water activities during the summertime. The agenda for the big kids summer camp looks so much fun thay I want to attend lol! - The staff makes sure all the kids are well fed, eat healthy meals, and have delicious snacks. - Once I was inside during picture day and the staff called a mom to ask if they could use the extra dress she’d packed for her daughter and get her ready for picture day. I thought that was so thoughtful of them. - The ladies are very nice! They are all moms. They pay attention and care for these kids like they are their own. 10/10 would recommend!!!

I moved my son from another daycare facility where his development was falling behind. Since I've made rubber change my son's development has progressed to where his intelligence is now advanced. Smart kids is so organized everytime I come in even if it's at random everything is exactly how it's supposed to be. I recommend this daycare to all my family and friends.

I absolutely love this day care! I have been taking my all 4 of my kids since the oldest was 3 and he is now 6. I have had two newborns to the daycare and i have felt nothing but safe when I leave my babies to go to work. I could not explain in words how amazing it feels to have a daycare that actually cares about the well being of my children. One story I would like to share is it was picture day and I totally forgot well the day care found a dress and put it on my daughter and she took pictures in a beautiful dress. They always go above and beyond and I will never have my kids go to another daycare. Thank you smart kids for all the work you do.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the post! We are so happy to be of service to your family!

This place is utterly amazing. The at home daycare my son was in was doing iothing for him. Almost three and he was barely speaking. They let me enroll my son essentially the same day he started and he has thrived. He now doesn’t ever stop talking, and they helped me keep his potty training going. The teachers are so nice and they actually care about my son. They help correct behavior rather than turn a blind eye. When I have questions or concerns they always listen. When I’m struggling financially as I have no help, they always understand and don’t make me feel less of a person cause I have to pay a week late. I can’t imagine my son going anywhere else and I feel truly blessed I found this place.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the post. We are so happy to be of service to you and your family!

My name is Veronica Garabedian, and I am excited to be the new director of Smart Kids Kearns. I have been working at this company for the last two years as a school-age coordinator and grant administrator. It's an honor to have the opportunity to work directly with the children and families we serve. I have more than 16 years of experience in the childcare field, working with infants and toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, and school-age. Education has always been very important to me. I am currently working towards obtaining a degree in Science with an emphasis in the Early Childhood Education field from Ashworth College. I have a National Administration Certificate (NAC), and a Child Development Associate Credential (CDA) for infants, toddlers, and preschool, and am endorsed as a CDA Professional Development Specialist for the Council for Professional Recognition (Washington DC). To get to know a little bit more about myself, I am a proud wife and mom of three amazing children: Anoush, Melanie, and my son Zachary. I enjoy my time with my family, especially on vacations. We all love to visit new places and spend time together.
