About Us
Choose Us For Child Care Services
Safe, compassionate care
Well-trained educators
And an environment that lets children choose how they learn best
Choosing the right provider of child care services can have a huge impact on how your child learns, grows, and thrives. Now and in the future.
The following are some of the key reasons families around the country trust Kiddie Academy® and Life EssentialsSM to provide the best child care resources possible for their children. We think you'll find them to be exactly the kinds of things you're looking for when considering care for your child.
Children make great choices if given the chance.
We give them that chance.
At the heart of Kiddie Academy’s Life Essentials is our child-led philosophy. We encourage children to explore and progress at their own pace, in their own style. When your child learns and plays in this manner, he or she is empowered to learn and grow socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually. The assortment of activities we provide is endless. Our teachers are skilled at allowing children to learn in their own way and at their own pace.
Our teachers are highly trained, extremely attentive
and enormously adored.
The continuous training we provide for our staff—which includes a high percentage of degreed teachers—always meets and often exceeds the standard for child care services. We require staff to participate in ongoing professional development programs. Why? Because it’s worth it. After all, it ensures everyone here is providing the best care possible for your child, both educationally and developmentally. The result? Happier, healthier, well-rounded children who are better prepared for school and life.
We never stop thinking about your child’s safety.
So you don’t have to think twice about it.
At Kiddie Academy, safety is our top priority. Background checks are mandatory for everyone who works here. Our buildings include secure entries and exits—many requiring a pass code for entry. Many locations also utilize fingerprint verification and continuous video monitoring. Each of our licensed academies is carefully maintained and regularly updated. Open floor plans allow for easy observation. By keeping children safe, we give you peace of mind. And we give our teachers the opportunity to do what they do best.
Kiddie Academy locations are truly wonderful places to be. Of course, the best way to experience a Kiddie Academy child care learning center is to visit one for yourself. Find an academy near you or see what it's like by taking a virtual tour.
