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 drives us to positively shape the lives of children, families and communities everywhere.
Why standards-based learning is important.
Kiddie Academy’s proprietary Life Essentials® curriculum focuses on social and emotional character education, and physical and cognitive outcomes which are aligned with state preschool learning standards. These standards are based on skills, knowledge and abilities that children achieve through developmentally appropriate activities and experiences.
The Life Essentials curriculum meets or exceeds the requirements of each state.
The Four Pillars of Life Essentials
Every experience is an opportunity to learn. Life Essentials is an overarching philosophy that includes our programs and techniques. From family style dining to character education, our developmentally appropriate curriculum gives your child a full day of learning no matter what he or she is doing. Some of the best learning happens without your child knowing it.
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
The difference of six months between adults may not seem significant, but in childhood development that can be the equivalent of a lifetime. Our standards-based curriculum is designed to suit each stage of child development, from infancy to preschool, and up to the age of 12.
Health & Fitness
Learning and encouraging health and fitness at a young age is a gift that lasts a lifetime. Good physical health is a critical component of brain development. We provide nutritious meals and ample playground time for physical activities.
Technology Education
We take advantage of the latest learning software and technology to make learning engaging and fun. Not only do children learn age-appropriate basic developmental skills, they learn computer literacy—a skill as essential as reading and writing.
Character Education
It’s never too early for kids to learn the values that will help them to develop into good citizens, which is why character education is part of our Life Essentials curriculum. Life Essentials is the key to turning moments of interaction into moments of learning. From the playground to the classroom, we take advantage of every opportunity for children to learn values such as:
- respect
- friendship
- sharing
- kindness
- manners, and more.
