    I entered this business venture with the basic premise that parents want the best for their children. Our Kiddie Academy of Hicksville was started with the belief that the days of a child ought to be fun-filled, informative, and safe. With nutritious, family-style meals and day-to-day educational activities, we create an environment kids love and parents trust to keep their children thriving and safe. Our Life Essentials® curriculum is the ideal springboard for beginning STEM education from an early age. The science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills is required to excel in this world. Here at Kiddie Academy of Hicksville, we have been very fortunate to find the very best teachers and staff to implement our developmentally appropriate curriculum. All our teachers are either Certified or Pending Certification. Safety is always our top priority. Every member of the Kiddie Academy of Hicksville team undergoes a comprehensive background check which includes a state clearance check, fingerprinting, and a rigorous personal and employment history check before being considered for employment.

    Shivonne Stewart, Center Director

    I began working at Kiddie Academy of Hicksville in 2007. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. Prior to becoming a director, I worked as a Assistant Director and Pre-school teacher. As an educator I believe that each child is a special individual who needs a secure, caring and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially. As the director I help teachers create an environment that is safe, developmentally appropriate and one that allows the child's natural curiosity. I believe that parent communication is essential in a child's early childhood development; and here at Kiddie Academy we have an open door policy and communicate daily with parents through our app and during drop off and pick up times. Please feel free to call and schedule a tour, we would love to answer any questions you may have.
