ABOUT US
At Smiling Faces Academy, Inc., we understand how hard it can be to leave your child in someone else’s care—especially for the very first time. That’s why we focus on more than just childcare. We focus on love, trust, and creating a second home where your child feels safe, comforted, and truly cared for.
From our nursery through school-age classrooms, children are welcomed into calm, structured environments with consistent daily routines. These routines help children feel secure, build confidence, and know what to expect each day. Our teachers take the time to get to know every child and thoughtfully plan weekly lessons using trusted curricula, adapting activities to support each child’s unique pace and personality.
Your child’s days are filled with moments that matter—snuggled story times, joyful songs, gentle introductions to sign language, hands-on math and science discovery, creative art projects, and exciting field trips as they grow. Through play, patience, and encouragement, we nurture social, emotional, and academic development while celebrating every milestone along the way.
