About the Provider

Description: Kids find happiness. Parents find peace of mind.
As a parent, you see your child growing every day—perhaps too fast. And we’re not talking about height markers on door frames.
At Kiddie Academy, we never take a single moment of your child’s growth potential for granted. We feed your child’s curiosity and instinct to learn with days filled with age-appropriate activities designed to treat every experience as an opportunity to learn.
Community Begins Here.®
Our passion is to deliver the highest quality childcare possible. This passion, and our 30 years in business, has earned us a leadership position in education-based childcare. It’s what has drives us to positively shape the lives of children, families and communities everywhere.
