Kiddie Academy is a leading child care provider. Specifically, we excel in educationally focused child care.
Since we launched our first academy more than 27 years ago, Kiddie Academy has experienced tremendous growth.
Today, we have academies coast to coast. And we're growing every day.
So what makes us different than other child care providers and day care providers Lots of things.
From the time your child wakes up until the time he or she goes to sleep at night, there are countless opportunities for learning and growing.
Our caring, observant, responsive educators and staff are trained to stay constantly involved in every aspect of your child's day so they can help facilitate "teachable moments." At Kiddie Academy, our Life Essentials creates opportunities for your child to learn, even while he or she is playing.
Some of the best learning happens without your child knowing it.
And that's wonderful. We recognize that honesty and thoughtfulness are critical qualities in the development of well-rounded individuals.
Through our character development program, which is an important part of Life Essentials, values are reinforced throughout daily academy activities, enabling your child to better understand the society in which we live and how to interact successfully with others.
