Original Research by School Decision on Family Enrichment Center
Family Enrichment Center is a preschool in Kaysville, Utah, serving children in the PK grade only. It is part of the Davis District, one of the largest school districts in the state. Because the school serves only preschoolers, no state testing data, graduation rate, or chronic absenteeism rate exist to report. A missing metric here is not a weakness; it simply reflects the nature of the school's early-childhood grade band, which falls outside the standard academic accountability measures.
The school's enrollment is moderate for a single-grade program. The student body is predominantly white, with a Hispanic population making up a substantial share of the enrollment. The remaining students are distributed across smaller Asian, Black, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial groups. The school reports that about a third of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that economic diversity is present. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not reported in the available records.
Family Enrichment Center is located in Kaysville, a primarily residential, family-oriented city in Davis County situated between Salt Lake City and Ogden along the Wasatch Front. Kaysville describes itself as steeped in traditional family values and maintains a rural atmosphere despite its urban-level population density. A historic Main Street serves as the commercial and civic spine. The city has a substantial share of households with children under 18 and a high share of married-couple families. The community's median household income is above the national median, and the housing market is tight. Home values have risen recently and sit above the state benchmark, and the typical rent is a meaningful share of household income, making homeownership less accessible than renting for many families.
Kaysville's parks system and the Utah Botanical Center provide outdoor and educational amenities. The Davis Technical College and Utah State University's Botanical Gardens extension add an institutional and vocational training presence. The city offers direct access to major highways and the FrontRunner commuter rail line, connecting residents to employment centers in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and nearby Hill Air Force Base, a major regional employer. The community's civic anchors include its historic Main Street, the Kaysville Tabernacle, and a strong annual 4th of July celebration.
The Davis District, which operates Family Enrichment Center, recently opened Farmington High School to relieve overcrowding, a change that affected high school attendance boundaries in the area. The district also expanded optional full-day kindergarten across its elementary schools starting in the 2023-24 school year, reflecting a statewide policy. These changes are relevant for families with children who will progress through the district's elementary programs. A parent considering Family Enrichment Center might want to look into how the preschool articulates with the district's kindergarten offerings and how the new high school boundaries affect their eventual feeder pattern for older children.
For a family seeking a preschool in a stable, family-focused suburban community with access to both outdoor recreation and metropolitan job centers, Family Enrichment Center fits within that picture. The school's economic diversity, single-age focus, and location in a tight housing market are characteristics to weigh against a family's priorities. With no academic performance data to evaluate, the decision rests on fit with the family's early-childhood needs and the broader Davis District educational pathway.
