The daycare has been an exceptional environment for the children. They are not only becoming bilingual, but also gaining valuable early-learning skills before entering school. The variety of classrooms, activities, and educational experiences provided is truly impressive. The staff’s dedication, time, and effort are evident in everything they do. Their values shine through, especially in the way they guide children through problem‑solving and conflict resolution. This is a 10/10 program that I highly recommend. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to our children.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Ebitare, for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that your daughter enjoys her time at Smart Kids West Valley and feels so comfortable in our Montessori preschool environment. It's heartwarming to know she recognizes the building and looks forward to seeing her teachers. We appreciate your trust in us for her childcare needs!
This daycare has been so good to my kids and me. I have had 4 kids attending. They are structured in their daily activities, feed the kids good, nutritious meals; and all the teachers care about each child individually. They are awesome at communicating. They use an app where they document everything the kids do throughout the day and share at least one photo each day of your children while they are doing an activity or playing. They make celebrations fun and help children from a young age learn. They have been so supportive of helping with potty training which is very rare to find in a daycare. They offer support and encouragement to not only the kids, but parents as well. The teachers are all very educated and love each of the kids as their own. We can't say enough good things about them!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Trina, for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that our structured activities, nutritious meals, and dedicated teachers have made such a positive impact on your children's experience. It's great to know that our communication through the app and support with potty training has been beneficial for both you and your kids. We truly appreciate your trust in us over the years and look forward to continuing this journey together!

These reviews can’t be real. They literally have no cameras in the facility. My son came home with a scratch on his neck and when we asked him what happened he informed us that his teacher hit him. I filed a police report and there was an investigation, which went nowhere because of the camera situation. After the incident, the owner and the director asked me to have a meeting with them. Where are they dismissed my son’s concerns and blamed it on his imagination. When we asked him what happened to his neck? He told us his teacher did it without any hesitation that is not imagination. This was the worst decision I’ve ever made. And to know that my son was hurt by someone that they claimed had 11 years of experience makes me sick. To add injury to insult there was zero accountability.
Photo from customer review
Response from the owner:We respectfully disagree with your opinion. That scratch happen because your child was physically aggressive to all the children during those 5 days that he was enrolled in our center and one of them defend himself. You send 3 investigations and all of them conclude that there was any wrong doing in our part, also all our clients can testify to the happy environment that they have in our center. Our priority is the safety of all the children, and cameras are been installing soon to that effect in all the clasrooms. We wish you the best in finding the help needed for your child and politely ask you to retrieve your review, because is unfunded, and malicious.

Buscando daycares me encontré con smart kids, me agrado la atención y la comunicación con la que me atendieron, el lugar es adecuado para el desarrollo y aprendizaje de los niños. Las maestras se encargan de mantener limpio e higiénico todo para los infantes, toddlers.
Me agrada la manera en la que te mantienen al tanto con respecto al bebé. Ademas que les ponen actividades recreativas. Les dan lunch y snacks. Mantienen igual una rutina para que no sientan mucho el cambio, me agrada la manera tan amena y calida que son todo el personal del centro. Puedo decir que me quedo satisfecha con el cuidado y atención que se les da a nuestros hijos
