| Kiddie Academy Since its launch more than 27 years ago, Kiddie Academy has become a leader in early child education with locations coast to coast. At the center of Kidde Academy’s educational philosophy is an age-appropriate curriculum, based on the individual needs of each child. The company strives to accommodate every child’s unique needs, which means teaching based on the child’s current pace and potential. What most sets Kiddie Academy apart from ordinary nursery schools is the Life Essentials program, which emphasizes taking advantage of learning opportunities throughout a child’s normal daily routine since the best learning often happens without the child knowing it. The program also stresses healthy eating habits and character development program, which teaches the child how to better understand the society in which they live and how to interact successfully with others. There
are many child care providers and day care providers to choose from. But only
Kiddie Academy provides the kind of well-rounded, enriching, educationally
focused care that children truly deserve and parents constantly seek.
