Description: Welcome to Kiddie Academy? of Collegeville! We know that choosing a child care center is one of the most difficult decisions a parent has to make. Many child care centers do not provide the nurturing, qualified teaching staff, variety of activities or educational advantages that you want for your children. Kiddie Academy of Collegeville provides all of those things in a safe, modern, fully equipped facility.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
