Kiddie Academy of Apex

Hello, hello! My name is Allison McClaugherty, the owner here at Kiddie Academy of Apex. My passion for early childhood education began when I started working as a nanny in college. During that time, I met my husband and we had our three wonderful children; Kari (age 6), Ellie (age 4), and Kassidy (age 2). I switched gears in college and got my Bachelor of Science in Education from NC State. I am currently pursuing a Master of Education in Early Childhood Education with an estimated completion of Fall 2024. My children were a driving force in my decision to franchise with Kiddie Academy. I discovered Kiddie Academy while researching countless options for my little ones and fell in love with Kiddie Academy's well-rounded approach to early childhood education. As a mom, I value play-based learning and character education for my children because I know emotional success correlates not only with academic success, but success in future endeavors as well. My goal is to be able to provide that strong foundation for the children in our community. In my free time, I enjoy playing cello, hiking with my family, snowboarding, and reading fantasy novels.
