Your child’s teachers are trained to implement a variety of POSITIVE GUIDANCE techniques if behavioral problems occur. Each class varies in its approach to discipline based on the age of the children in the class. However, the overall philosophy remains the same:

  • Children learn more effectively when they feel safe and loved.
  • Guiding children toward desired behaviors helps them to make good decisions and correct their own mistakes in a positive way.
  • Helping children solve problems that lead to misbehavior teaches them a valuable life skill and builds their self-confidence.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

We have been with the kids connection for 3 years now, we absolutely love it. I know that I am able to leave my child there and have peace knowing he is safe and thriving. They have amazing teachers that love the kids, my little boy has learned so much and is so advanced for his age due to their academics they teach.

Veronica Glaude

My children have gone here for years! They have been awesome to work with! It's always hard to leave your kids with someone else but I would have a hard time trusting anyone else to watch and educate my children when I am unable to during work hours. Everyone here is amazing and you can tell they really care for the children!

Jared Pela

We have been at Kids Connection for about a year and have been very happy with the care our kids have received! The owner and director are well versed and knowledgable in child development and continually training staff on best practices in working with children. The staff sincerely cares for the children.

Sarah Lemonte

My daughter has been going here since she was 5 months old. This is such a nice daycare. They do crafts with the children and play lots of games. My daughter loves going here and seeing all of her friends. The teachers are so nice, my daughter usually gives them hugs when she first arrives because she is happy to see them.

Melissa John

Kids Connection has been a wonderful place for my family! We had to look into different childcare options during the pandemic and found Kids Connection. I am so grateful we did! The administration and staff have always been great to work with!!! My children came home with the best stories of friends and teachers every day.

Brooke Christley

The kid's connection is nothing but amazing!! My daughter has been going there for a couple of years and loves it! It is such a beautiful thing to know that your child is being taken care of by the best of the best! They truly love these kids and it is so awesome to see and feel their love for them. I highly recommend it!

Alex Jespersen

We have been to 4 different daycares with no success. We decided to try these guys out and it has been an amazing experience. They genuinely care about the parents and the kids and do whatever they can to work with you. We love it here and can’t thank you all enough for all you do for me and my kids. I highly recommend it.

Lelia Tucker

This is the most honest and loving daycare you will find in Utah County. I know my kids are loved and cared for by some of the best people I could ever ask for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Kids Connection to ANYONE and in fact, I have. Five separate friends take their kids there and they love it just as much as I do.

Shannon McQuarrie

Kid's Connection has been the best decision for daycare. Our child has flourished and done so well here. At home, we talk all about about the teachers, activities, and friends and it's been such a relief to know we have loving, attentive, competent care. It's been the best experience for our little family and we are so grateful.

Michelia Whitaker

It's hard to write about this place without getting emotional. All six of my kids have attended Kids Connection. These ladies are the best!!! My kids have always felt so loved at Kids Connection and I have appreciated knowing that they are safe and in good hands. You can't put a price on that kind of peace of mind.
