My kid has been going here since he was 8 months old. He loves it. Once he started walking, as soon as he’s free from his car seat he walks right in by himself. He gives the biggest hugs to his teachers as soon as he sees them. I have to remind him to say bye to me. The teachers are amazing, and so is the director! They’ve been very flexible with him every step of the way. From giving formula to starting solids, and even helping with potty training.

Couldn’t be happier with this center ! My little one cried hysterically for a year straight at his prior daycare , prompting the change to smart kids . On day one he didn’t cry & hasn’t cried once sense ! To me, that speaks all volumes ! I love how consistent the staff is , it’s always the same faces , sense we started a year ago . Keeping great teachers is also a good sign of a good center and good care . My little guy loves his teachers and is excited everyday to go, making being a working mom so much easier . My daughter loves the summer school program . There’s so much more positives I can say but we simply love this center , the happy faces , the good mornings every morning from every teacher and the peace of mind knowing they are truly taken care of with staff who actually take pride in the lives of these littles .
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We Love your kids :) Jill

I just transferred my four year old daughter here the beginning of this month. She has been to one other daycare center but she always had mixed feelings about going. She was very nervous to go somewhere new and from day one she has loved it more than I could imagine. She used to beg me to miss work and stay home with her and now even on my days off she is begging me to take her. Her teacher is incredible and so sweet. Everyone on the staff is so friendly and kind. The best decision I made was to bring her here.
Response from the owner:Thank you. We are so happy that she is enjoying preschool. Jill
I love how they take care of my daughter. She's been there since she was 2 and now she's 5 and loves going to school. The quality of the entire staff is almost like a family to us.♥️
Response from the owner:Awe. I am so thankful that you feel this way. We love her too. Jill

We have had Smart Kids West Jordan as our daycare since our baby was 3 months old and we have only good things to say about our experience. If we ever had a concern, Lisa, Linda, and Jill were always available to talk about it and gave us great service. We are leaving because a friend will be able to watch our baby for us, but we recommend Smart Kids West Jordan to everyone who asks what daycare they should check out!
Response from the owner:Thank you. We miss you ....

Smart Kids is truly top-notch. The pre school program is amazing. Our daughter is ahead of where she needs to be for kindergarten next year! All the staff is friendly and kind, and they all know our family like we’re their own family. It takes a village to raise a child, and I’m so grateful that Smart Kids is my village!

Smart kids is amazing! I trust them completely with my two daughters. They bus them to and from school and I can rest assured my kids are always where they’re suppose to be. The teachers are awesome as well, Jessica and Joey go above and beyond and pay close attention to the needs of every child! I would recommend Smart kids to anyone needing childcare!

There are no words to describe my gratitude to you, dear Smart kids workers! Your child care was my son’s first, it took us a long time to choose it, we had a lot of concerns, but we made the right choice! Smart kids became a second family for my son, every morning he ran there with a smile, we knew that he was safe and in love! You do the most important work in the world, you take care of our children, investing love and care in them. You spend most of your time with them, take care of them, wish them, hug them, play, take care of their health, teach them everything that is useful in this life. Each child is an individual for you and you know everything about him and even tell me. Since my son has been with you, every day I see him growing up, becoming more independent, smart, and friendly. Thank you very much again for everything! your work is priceless! Tabel family ❤️❤️❤️
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review! Our Staff appreciate your family and love having your child in our center!!

I am Jill Davidson. I moved to Utah in 1986 after serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I grew up in a small town in Southern California. I have always loved working with children and animals and I knew my career would consist of one or the other. I started working at the West Jordan location in April 1986. I loved it so much! I taught preschool for a few years, then the school-age children stole my heart. I became the activities director for a few more years while I finished school. Then I was asked to teach kindergarten and became the director at the center in 2000. In 2012, Smart Kids bought the center and I was lucky enough to be asked to stay as their director. So, all in all, I have been here for 40 years! I have my babies bringing me their babies! It makes me feel old, but loved…
