A Holistic Approach For Whole-Child Development
Your toddler’s loving caregivers support them holistically. With lots of individual attention to ensure your child has what they need, carers guide their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development for a strong foundation.
Your Toddler Learns About The World Through Playful Activities
Science tells us that children learn best through play. Your toddler spends their days making essential connections and building critical skills through exciting, engaging, hands-on activities indoors and out, specially designed by their expert caregivers.
- Messy art promotes fine motor skills and creativity, demonstrates cause-and-effect, and encourages imagination.
- Nature walks connect them to the planet, introduce eco-systems, and help regulate their nervous system.
- Sensory activities build cognitive connections that lay the groundwork for future learning.
S.E.E.D. Certified® For A Commitment To Social-Emotional Development
Under the guidance of caregivers dedicated to raising emotionally intelligent kiddos, your child learns to form healthy relationships, identify and regulate feelings, and communicate for lifelong success. Certification also gives you access to the acclaimed “Tiny Humans, Big Emotions” parenting course free of charge.
Outdoor Adventures For Growing Bodies
Being more mobile has its perks! Your toddler scoots, waddles, and totters their way to confident walking with lots of outdoor play. They build large motor skills on safe climbers and with lots of space in a playground designed for their needs.
Stories & Music For Budding Verbal Skills
When your tot is ready to start talking, it’s time to switch from baby signing to activities that promote and support their verbal skills. Their caregivers use fun songs and lots of wonderful stories to guide them along their language journey.
Potty Training & Practical Skills For The Future
Get the support you need for smooth, stress-free potty training. Your kiddo will be using the bathroom in no time! Expert caregivers are with them every step of the way to guide their transition from babies to big kids.

Yes! Your child enjoys breakfast, lunch, and snacks approved by the CACFP, all included in tuition fees. Our on-site cook uses healthy ingredients in a nut-free environment and caters to allergies and sensitivities.
Teacher-led instruction is important for introducing new activities and ideas, but well-trained teachers know when to step back and allow your child to immerse themself in the activity, to use their natural curiosity to seek and apply solutions. A teacher may step in when children are ready for the next new idea, but when a child can concentrate, explore, and use their imagination, the learning is organic and progressive.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
