Philosophy

At Miles of Smiles, we believe that every child is a unique individual with their own strengths, interests, and potential. As educators, we are committed to nurturing and celebrating each child’s individuality in a warm, supportive environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and growth.

We strive to recognize and build upon every child’s existing knowledge, skills, and abilities. Through intentional guidance, engaging experiences, and meaningful relationships, we aim to extend each child’s learning and help them develop a lifelong love for discovery.

Our approach is rooted in respect, inclusivity, and the belief that learning happens best when children feel seen, valued, and empowered. At Miles of Smiles, every child’s journey matters—and we are here to support them every step of the way.

About our program

Welcome to Miles of Smiles Childcare, where children grow, learn, and thrive in a warm, personalized environment. Located in Saginaw, we provide care for children from 1 month to 11 years old, with a strong focus on nurturing curiosity and encouraging development through both structured learning and outdoor exploration.

Our program is open 7 days a week from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM, making us a reliable option for families with varying schedules. We support working parents by offering monthly pay options, accepting subsidized care, and providing nutritious meals and daily snacks.

We proudly welcome children at all stages, with no potty training required, and we are committed to meeting each child where they are—emotionally, socially, and developmentally. Our team is background-checked and fully dedicated to creating a safe, engaging space where every child feels valued and supported.

At Miles of Smiles, we believe in planting the seeds of lifelong learning in a setting that feels just like home.
