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.
