A Proven Preschool Curriculum
Georgia introduced its latest set of high-quality, research-based early learning standards for children birth to age five called the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS). GELDS standards are age-appropriate, attainable, and flexible enough for every child’s approach to learning. We uphold these standards and believe that play-based learning is the best way to support your child’s individual rate of development as the basis for their bright future and education.

My name is Shannon Smith. I am the Owner/Director of A Kid’s World. I have been married to my husband, Tony Smith, for 22 years. Tony is a retired Fire Chief for The City of Covington Fire Department. We have 4 beautiful daughters. May of 2019 my oldest daughter gave birth to our first granddaughter, Nora Kate! My husband & I were raised locally, and it is such a great community we have also stayed and raised our children here in Walton County!
I have an Associate Degree in Psychology and an Early Childhood Education Degree from The University of Cincinnati. In addition, I possess a National Administrators Credential and a Technical Childcare Certificate. In my spare time, I enjoy running. I began running in 2009. I have run 2 full marathons (26.2 miles) 80 x ½ marathons (13.1 miles) and too many 5Ks to count! In 2012, I ran 12 ½ marathons in 12 months (1 Half marathon a month for every month)
I opened A Kid’s World in 1997 with a vision to make high-quality child-care available to all families in Walton County. Over the years we have stayed true to this vision. AKW chooses to participate in numerous grants and programs that allow our center to provide the highest quality care at the most affordable price.
Our family looks forward to continuing to provide this level of care for many generations to come!
