Smart kids bilingual daycare

My 3 year old and 1 year old daughters have attended Smart Kids the past year and I strongly recommend it for families looking for a caring, personal, fun, and learning-oriented environment for their children. This is my family’s 3rd daycare experience and the best yet. Their facility is very well set up and outfitted for a variety of play and activities, both indoors and outside in the yard. They serve delicious, home cooked, and healthy meals daily that my toddler loves. Damaris and Vivi are excellent educators for both babies and toddlers/preschoolers, and adored by my daughters. It truly feels more like a school than a typical daycare—even for my 1 year old. Their strengths include helping my baby with extra support to work towards her milestones, focused development of fine motor skills and penmanship with toddlers, facilitating an approachable bilingual curriculum, helping children with social and emotional development, and maintaining a fun and engaging environment with music, dance, and creative play.

I am the mother of smart, kind, and witty 3 year old daughter who attended Smart Kids from 1-3 years old. Damaris and Vivi instilled a love for school and learning in my daughter such that she wakes up each day confirming the day of the week (in both English and Spanish) so she knows if she gets to go to school that day. Damaris and Vivi create an environment where children of all backgrounds are accepted, loved, cared for, and educated; and I as a parent felt comfortable leaving my most precious asset for 40+ hours a week knowing she was safe and being cared for just as I would care for her myself. My daughter has abilities well beyond the average 3 year old, and I am confident this is due to the curriculum that Damaris and Vivi have developed. I wholeheartedly recommend Smart Kids!

When we enrolled in Smart Kids, we knew our daughter would get the early, full exposure to another language that we wanted, but we could never have predicted the degree of community, love, and support that Damaris, Vivi and her team bring every day to childcare. Our daughter understood and began using the language she was learning almost immediately, with “leche” (milk) & “agua” (water) becoming the terms at home she’d use. By the age of 2, she had learned the idea that English & Spanish were two different languages and could switch between the two & learn both with us every time we introduced new words in English & in Spanish. But at the same time, she also was also learning how to walk, drink from a cup, potty train, eat with utensils, explain her feelings, and generally how to interact with other kids. The social/educational events, the parents, and the friends our daughter made created a community that has kept us busy with birthday parties & playdates. If you’re thinking about enrolling your child here, you’d be making an excellent choice. Your child really will be a Smart Kid!
