Let Them Be Kids! Childcare Center

What Let Them Be Kids! Childcare Center does

Let Them Be Kids! and The Hangout is a family-owned childcare and preschool center founded in 2006, operating a single facility at 872 W 1600 S, Clearfield, Utah. The center serves children from 6 weeks through 6th grade across seven programs: Infants, Toddlers, Twos, Preschool, Private Preschool, School Age (before/after care), and Summer Camp. It runs Monday through Friday from 5:30am to 5:30pm, accommodating full working-hour schedules for parents in Davis County.

The core offering is a research-based, individualized play-based curriculum for children aged 0-5, delivered by teachers encouraged to obtain Child Development Associate (CDA) or School-Age Credentials. The physical plant is unusually large for a 8-person operator, comprising 7 age-separated outdoor playgrounds, a 9,000-square-foot indoor gymnasium, an indoor playground with climbers and slides, a movie theater, and interactive play technology including the BEAM projection system. Operational technology investments focus on safety and hygiene: a ZONO sanitizing cabinet, biometric check-in security, and air purifiers.

Revenue is generated entirely through recurring tuition fees paid by families, with no disclosed pricing, institutional contracts, or third-party funding. Marketing is community-driven via Instagram, Facebook, parent testimonials, and a website featuring Book a Tour and Join Waitlist CTAs. The center holds multiple state certifications (CCQS High-Quality Rated, Top Star Certified, Utah QRS High-Quality, Healthier CACFP High Honors) and has won 1st-place Best of Davis County (2023-2025) and Best of Northern Utah (2024-2025) Readers Choice awards.

Broad incumbents

• KinderCare Learning Companies: National for-profit childcare and early education provider serving infants through school-age children with age-based programs comparable to Let Them Be Kids! Curriculum, age-stacking, and tuition model closely mirror the subject company's full-day offering, but at national scale.
• Cadence Education: One of the largest private early childhood education providers in the U.S., operating multiple branded childcare banners. Comparable full-day, multi-age programming and tuition model; differs in scale and in being a private-equity-backed multi-brand platform.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: Largest publicly-traded operator of employer-sponsored childcare and early education centers in the U.S. Directly comparable full-day, multi-age childcare delivery model; competes on quality certifications but at far broader scale and via corporate partnerships rather than family-owned local sites.
• Childcare Network: Multi-state operator of childcare centers serving infants through school-age children with USDA food program participation. Comparable operating model including CACFP participation, age-banded programs, and extended-hours care.
• La Petite Academy: National childcare and preschool provider offering full-day care for infants through pre-K with curriculum-based programming. Comparable in age range and program structure, operating at meaningfully larger scale than the subject company.

Comparable in its emphasis on a research-based curriculum, premium positioning, and franchise-friendly brand; competes in many of the same suburban family markets as the subject company.
