Life Essentials is the philosophy that guides what we do at Kiddie Academy every day. It begins with the natural curiosity present in every child. By focusing on elements fundamental to a child’s growth – character education, STEM-infused technology and health and fitness experiences – we nurture and build upon inquisitiveness, creating momentum for learning that doesn’t stop once the child leaves our classroom.

Our standards-based curriculum is created by seasoned educators to suit each stage of child development. It consists of a comprehensive collection of activities designed to meet the needs of every child in our care.
As the world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, computer literacy has become as essential as reading and writing. We use the latest technology to make learning engaging and fun, reinforcing lessons learned throughout the day.
We teach children to make healthy food, fitness and hygiene choices. Nutritious meals, large motor skill activities that promote cardiovascular health and outdoor playground time are part of each day at Kiddie Academy. Resources like our Parenting Essentials newsletter share and reinforce healthy lessons learned in the classroom with the family.
It’s crucial for children to learn the values that will help them develop into well-rounded citizens. Character Essentials uses character education to derive learning from each interaction. From the playground to the classroom, we take every opportunity to teach your child important character-building cornerstones, including respect, sharing, manners, friendship and compassion.
Learning happens every day and in unexpected ways. Learn how our Life Essentials philosophy and curriculum empowers teachers to be creative and parents to be involved, fostering an environment that makes learning fun and impactful.
