Allison McClaugherty, Owner

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