Small Hands Big Dreams - Kirtland

We have had such an incredible experience with SHBD Kirtland. Our son started there at three months old and he is almost two years old now. I was so nervous to put our son in daycare but when I went to the center for the first time, the first thing Stephanie the Director said was, "He will be so loved here!" That put me at ease immediately and was exactly what I needed to hear. And she was right!
Everyone is incredibly friendly, kind, communicative and helpful - helpful to the kids, the parents, and to eachother as coworkers. Our son's teachers have been amazing, especially Ms. Dominique, Ms. Amber and Ms. Brooke. They have helped our son learn and grow much more than we could have ever expected. We are excited for our second child to start there in a few months!
Thank you for all the great work you do, we appreciate you! Read more >

We transitioned to SHBD in early February! What a great center with dedicated and loving teachers. So thankful for Miss Alannah who is working with my spirited 3 year daughter and to Miss Amanda, Hannah and Alex for taking such good care of our little guy in the Bunnies room! Highly recommend!

My husband and I could not be happier with our experience thus far with SHBD Kirtland. All of the teachers and directors we have worked with are welcoming and helpful and always go out of their way to make us feel comfortable. My daughter has been there since Aug 2021 at 6 months and absolutely adores her teachers, specifically Ms.Amber and Ms.Dominique. We love all of the updates and photos we receive throughout the day and Ms.Dominique is always so great at sending us messages to let us know how our daughter is doing throughout the day. I have only the highest level of respect and appreciation for the job that they do every day to take care of our kids. Read more >

I just wanted to share that I’ve had some amazing teachers for my daughter at SHBD. My daughters first teacher, Ms. Hannah really welcomed my daughter with open arms and gave her the encouragement she needed being a shy little one. Fast forward to now, Ms. Alannah communicates with me about all of what my daughter is learning and exceeding in and collaborates with me on what we can do to help her in area she struggles. I can’t say enough good things about this center and am so lucky that my daughter attends. Read more >

We are very happy with our sons development and growth since joining Small Hands. He loves going to school each day and seeing his friends and teachers, and learning something new each day. We appreciate their efforts, as he will be having his sister join in a few months! Read more >

Staff is caring and our child has learned so much. The curriculum is awesome. Our son started when he was 18 months, and he is 4 years old now. He looks forward to going to daycare every morning, even on the weekends. Read more >

My husband and I are very happy to be part of SHBD in Kirtland. We enrolled in January 2020 with our first child, and now have our second attending as well.
The care services and communication are great - we especially appreciate the pictures they send throughout the day.
The team members we have been able to meet and work with are all kind and friendly. They show genuine love for their work and for our kids. Read more >

My daughter has attended SHBD Kirtland since she was 3 months old and is now 3.5 years old. After her first week there, she was sitting up on her own and from that moment she excelled. They are caring and communicative. The staff has helped me through many motherly struggles with kind hearts and compassion. I am thrilled to have my daughter a part of a great place. She’s coming home with happy stories of her teachers and friends. I love that she is teaching ME Spanish. I am so thankful for this place and recommend it to all of my friends and family.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Small Hands Big Dreams Kirtland! We are new to the center but our children have been cared for like family from day one. My son is super hesitant, emotional and shy and Ms Alannah has helped him calmly adjust to being away from us during the day!

Ms Alex D has been so loving towards our boys at drop off & it makes us feel confident leaving them early in the morning. Ms Amanda and Magda have been taking care of our little guy in the butterfly room and he’s making huge strides academically and socially already.

The communication has been phenomenal & We are extremely happy with our choice to enroll. Read more >

We can't say how thankful we are for Small Hands Big Dreams! My son started in the bunny room when he was 6 weeks old, and now is 3.5 years old. We also have another son that will be joining in just a couple weeks at 3 months old. The teachers and staff here are amazing and continuously keeps us updated with pictures and activities throughout the day! Ms. Alannah has been there since my oldest son started, she is now his teacher and has been so helpful working on things with him and keeping us engaged on how well he is doing! Definitely recommend!

We have been going to SHBD Kirtland since my son was 12 weeks- he is now 2.5! Everyone there has been fantastic! Ms Amanda cared for my son when he was an infant and how is his teacher in the Butterfly room. He loves her so much and tells me Ms Amanda is his “best friend” 🥰. My other son started a few months ago in the infant room. Ms Amber and Ms Heidi take such wonderful care of him. They take pride in their work and it shows! Also a big shout out to Alex and Kelly helping with pick ups and drop offs! We love this facility so much- definitely makes it easier to go to work knowing our kids are in such caring and compassionate hands! Thank you! Read more >

I am so thankful for small hands big dreams. My son (now 2) has been going to school since he was 6 weeks old. They’ve been amazing. I trust them with my kids and know they care for my kids, when I have to go to work. The past teachers that are no longer there have been amazing and current teachers are just as amazing. I’m so thankful and appreciate the love and hard work from everyone here, especially Miss Amanda, his current teacher. She teaches and loves him as her own. Thank you Amanda! And also, Kelly and Alex dealing with our crazy life and personalities at drop off and pick up! We love you ladies!! Read more >

We love SHBD! We came here when my oldest was 6mos and we are so happy we switched. Within the first few months we could see how much the teachers worked with him and how they do at every age! We are thankful for the teachers that show they really care about the kids - Ms. Alannah and Ms. Kari are great in helping him through the "terrible two's" and now being a "threenager" and working through his "big feelings". The other day he excitedly showed me a smiley face on his hand "from Ms. Kari" at pickup.
His brother Austin is really thriving here as well and he is always ready to go "play friend". He loves Ms "Manda" and is ready to jump to the teachers arms at drop off. I am so grateful for all the updates they send throughout the day and to be able to login to see what the kids are up to! I am amazed at all the creative... Read more >

Me and my girls have been here for over two years, all the teachers have been more than welcoming and kind to us all. Ms. Kiana has been so helpful with my oldest daughter who has a hard time controlling her emotions. She is so kind and patient with all of the kids and plans really cool and interactive activities that Abigail always tells me all about! Even on the weekends it’s all about ms. Kiana ! Read more >

We have had nothing but the best teachers and staff with our children. They are all amazing and take time out to make sure we are kept informed all the time. Alan nah, Kiana Ms Kiss I could keep going are all like family yo my kids. ❤️ Read more >

We LOVE small hands big dreams! Our son adores his teacher Ms. Kiss he says he wants to be a teacher just like her when he grows up! He loves learning things from Ms. Alannah because “she knows everything about this world!” Communication is always great through the center and Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Sharon are always super helpful! We love all the pictures we get throughout the day. Our son is learning so much and has a wonderful time at school!

The bunny room also has great communication when it comes to our little one. Always get reminders when he is running low on clothes or diaper cream. We get multiple pictures of him throughout the day we love watching him grow there! Read more >

SHBD Kirtland is hands down the best childcare center in the area! Ms Amanda is excellent and THE BEST! She is very attentive, organized, and compassionate and treats my child as if he was her own! I feel he is in the best hands with her! So thankful to have her as our teacher for our son! Also, the office coordinator, Ms.Sharon (SharBear) and The directors Ms Vanesa and Ms Stephanie are all very approachable and responsive, always are doing the best to help any way they can! The facility is very large, secure and CLEAN! The playground is amazing and there are plenty of age appropriate toys and supplies in each classroom. My son LOVES it here and I love knowing that my child is being cared for and taught by top-notch teachers at a fantastic center. Also thank you to Ms. Alannah for always keeping us in the loop :)

The entire staff is genuine, professional, and kind. Communication is excellent and I love how we can video in to watch the kids throughout the day! It is a relief to drop off your child for the day and not worry about how well he or she will be taken care of. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who needs child care. Very reasonably priced with many add-ons such as food, diapers, and wipes. They also have a flexible vacation schedule. Shout out to some of our favorites. Mrs. Alex D, Ms. Kiss, Ms. Alannah, Ms. Jhanna and Ms. Sharon. Your hard work and dedication does NOT go unnoticed. Thank you!!! Read more >
