Meet the Owner

Krupa Patel

Krupa Patel is the proud owner of Kiddie Academy of Ballenger Creek. A mother of two daughters, Krupa’s journey into early childhood education began when she was searching for quality care for her eldest child. During that time, she recognized the critical need for educational childcare in the community—where parents could feel at peace knowing their children were in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. Her vision became a reality in July 2018 with the opening of Kiddie Academy of New Market. Building on that success, she went on to open her second location, Kiddie Academy of Ballenger Creek. Krupa holds a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and brings over 10 years of management experience to her role. Her mission is to provide a nurturing, educational environment where every child can thrive and grow.

Breanna Voorhees

Academy Director

Breanna Voorhees is the Academy Director and brings with her over 15 years of experience in the ECE field and more than 20 years of experience working with children. A native of Damascus, Maryland, Breanna is also a proud mother of two. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Family Studies and Community Development from Towson University, with a concentration in Special Education. Prior to entering the ECE field, Breanna worked with Montgomery County Public Schools as a teacher. Her transition into early childhood education was inspired by her own search for care for her first child. Since then, she has taught across all age groups—from infants through school-age children—and quickly advanced into a leadership role due to her passion, experience, and dedication. Breanna is committed to fostering a nurturing, inclusive, and developmentally enriching environment for every child in her care.
