We couldn’t love Smart Kids more! My daughter has been going here for years, and now she comes during the summer and occasionally on school breaks. Their summer program is seriously the best, she always has so much fun and looks forward to going! One of the things I appreciate most is how long so many of the staff members have been there. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about the kids. Marisol, the director, is always so warm and welcoming. Maha is absolutely amazing with the kids, and Miss Tina has been so wonderful to our daughter over the years. They truly pay attention to each child and make you feel comfortable knowing your child is in good hands. We’re so grateful for Smart Kids and the people who make it such a special place!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words. It is always a pleasure to have your daughter attend our summer program. We truly always your trust!

It is so hard and scary to think about putting your child in daycare sometimes but Smart kids has been such a blessing for us and our little one. Our daughter has been going here for almost 2 years and she’s always talked about how much she loves the teachers and the friends she has made. The first few weeks were hard because obviously she needed to get used to being there but now a days she doesn’t even want to leave. They have a structured curriculum, post pictures of all the activities they are doing, and even invite parents to participate especially during the holidays. I trust them to take care of my daughter and appreciate the transparency they offer. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a daycare/preschool for their little ones.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting Smart Kids with the care and development of your little one. We know that deciding to enroll your child in a daycare is not an easy decision, so it truly makes us happy to know that your family has felt supported and at ease throughout this process. We love hearing that your daughter has formed strong bonds with her teachers and friends, and that she feels happy and secure with us. We sincerely appreciate your kind words about our educational program, our communication with families, and the transparency we provide, as these are fundamental pillars of our work.

We moved my daughter her after picking my daughter up from her first daycare crying and alone outside, one too many times. From day one my daughter loved going to smart kids Taylorsville!!! She no longer cried when dropped off and was always happy and excited when her mom or I picked her up! Unfortunately she has grown up enough she is in school now, but definitely will be looking to have her spend summers here as the staff, ALL THE STAFF, bit just her teachers were always welcoming and a pleasure to speak with and assist when needed. I cannot say enough good if not great things about smart kids Taylorsville and think Marisol is a great director!!! See for yourself and start early. My daughter started with the toddlers an worked her way up. I know the staff are a huge reason why my daughter has developed the way she has and appreciate the staff more than they will ever know!!! Thank you smart kids Taylorsville!!! ❤️
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are truly honored that you trusted Smart Kids Taylorsville with your daughter’s care and growth. It warms our hearts to hear how comfortable, happy, and excited she felt from the very beginning, and we’re grateful for the kind words about our staff and program. Watching her grow from the toddler classroom all the way to school has been such a joy, and we’re excited to welcome her back for summer

I remember coming here btw it's Israel
Response from the owner:Hi Israel, Thank you for the review! Anytime pass by to say hello. We miss you! We have good memories of you and your sister.
They took great care of our kids! ❤️ We appreciate all the fun memories that made with our kiddos and can’t thank them enough. That’s all you can ask for is for a safe, happy place for your kids. They are welcoming and very involved with safety and the kids well being. Marisol is the sweetest and very understanding and listens to your concerns, Jen very kind, and my kids loved miss Tina even though she wasn’t even their main teacher she would always greet you “good morning” she was one of the first teachers there, she loved her job and loved the kids and always was happy. I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile and not helping the kids. miss Leslie and miss Kassie, and miss Luz were always helpful in teaching and support with the kids my son enjoyed having them as his teachers. That is just to name a few. All the teachers are great! We miss you guys and would recommend to anyone.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Shalesha, for your thoughtful words. It truly warms our hearts to know that the care and dedication we provide are appreciated. We deeply miss you and your family, and please know that we’ll always be here whenever you need us again.

My daughter went to Smart Kids six years ago. She attended for about two years before we moved out of state. We are here for a visit and one of the places we stopped was Smart Kids to say hello... and they remembered her immediately, despite not seeing her for six years! Now on to the review: My daughter hasn't stopped talking about this daycare for the entire six years we've been gone. She loved it. The staff is amazing and the owner is kind and helpful. They have a wonderful summer program with field trips almost every day. There is a lot for the kids to do when they are there -- a big outdoor area to play in also. =) We had tried several other daycares in the area and weren't very happy with them. I'm so glad we found Smart Kids and I'm so glad they were still there and remembered us! Keep it going, folks! You're doing a great job!
Response from the owner:Thank you Kimberly for your kind words we love your daughter and it was so nice to see her growing tall and pretty with a beautiful heart.Come to visit us whene you are back to Utah

My granddaughter attends Smart Kids for part of the week. I started her at the school to keep her from wasting her time watching TV all day long. I thought she would protest attending, given her previous couch potato habits, but she loved it from the first day and really enjoys all the activities they have available for her to do. She particularly enjoys the creative art projects the teachers use to support the curriculum, and comes home very excited to do more crafting projects on her own, based on what she learned to do at school. So the goal of reducing screen time has been doubly met. Her teacher is very kind and enthusiastic about telling me things my granddaughter did that day. The other children are happy and seem to get along really well with each other. I feel so fortunate to have her enrolled here. Thank you to all the staff!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your honest, nice review! We appreciate when parents recognize the quality of our program. We love your grandaughter!

The last 18 months at Smart Kids has been wonderful. From the first day to the last, my child loved attending. The staff is kind, great with kids and provides regular communication and feed back. Monthly parent engagement days are a huge plus for the little ones. Preschool and pre K education is thorough and fun. I would recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking. Thank you to everyone at Smart Kids who made my child happy each and everyday.
Response from the owner:Thank you Tyler for the review! I will make sure that the teachers know how you feel. Validation from our families is a tremendous reward. We loved having your son at our center. We will miss him. Thanks again and I wish you the best.

Best Daycare Center! I have my 2 year old going here and i was so nervous leaving her for the first time at a daycare, you hear so many horror stories in general that it makes a person nervous. Can i just say everyone here has now become like family. They take such amazing care of my daughter. They truly are amazing, they dont just watch your kids but provide healthy meals, and work with the younger ones as if it was a fun school day (colors, numbers, and so on). The director Marisol is so caring, and on top of everything to make sure things are running smoothly. We have been going here for about 4 months now and i could not imagine having my little one anywhere else. Hands down the best!
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind words!! We appreciate when our clients recognize the hard work of our employees. We love our children. You make our work more rewarding.

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 is that others care for our children even half as much as we do! This place does. If only all daycares could exercise the same quality and love these people show. Thank you Smart Kids T-Ville!
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind words! We will miss your children dearly, we were fortunate to being part of their lifes and wish them and your family the best in your new home 💕

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 my daughter has made and the communication skills she is learning are priceless.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jay! For the nice review. Our teachers and Marisol are very grateful for your kind words. 💕

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 me know my daughter was safe and back at the center. How extremely thoughtful!! We truly do love it there!
Response from the owner:Thank you Lori we are here to help and make sure the parents feel comfortable leaving their kiddos in good hands! Marisol
