About
We help children engage their bodies and minds through fun and educational activities.
Our history
Smiling Kids was founded with the vision of transforming early childhood education into an inspiring and joyful journey. Driven by a passion for fostering holistic development, our team combined expertise in education, psychology, and business to create a model that integrates gamification and technology with play-based learning. Though our first location is set to open soon, our mission remains clear: to provide a nurturing space where children can grow, explore, and develop a lifelong love for learning. Smiling Kids is more than an early learning center—it’s a commitment to building brighter futures, one smile at a time.
- Inspiring learning through play.
- Empowering young minds
- Building futures with smiles
Vision
Understanding the negative impact of authoritarianism on children’s physical, psychological, and emotional development, Smiling Kids is dedicated to prioritizing children’s rights at all times. Our institution is committed to providing an environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive safely, with positive guidance. These qualities will make our early learning center the best choice for families seeking enriching experiences for their children in a secure and enjoyable environment during their formative years.
Mission
Smiling Kids is committed to moving away from the adult-centered principles that often define traditional teaching-learning systems. Our early learning center recognizes that children are individuals with their own rights, opinions, needs, and feelings. For this reason, our institution aims to listen to and value children’s perspectives unconditionally. We prioritize dialogue to ensure our young community feels included in decision-making and participates in resolving conflicts in a positive manner.
Health & Safety
Your child’s health and safety are our top priority. Our centers have strict guidelines for cleanliness and security and we’re proud to be recognized as a health-and-wellness model for child care centers by the Partnership for a Healthier America.
At Bright Horizons, we make your child’s health and safety our top priority. Our standards are the highest in the industry, meeting or exceeding all local and state guidelines.
All of our early education and preschool centers include:
- Well planned spaces with rounded corners and soft surfaces
- Secure areas that keep children constantly within sight
- Computerized front-desk check-in to ensure security
