Kiddie Academy of Kennesaw

Payal Anand has always had a passion for working with kids. In high school she volunteered at a special needs school and was the chair of the local American Red Cross Youth Society. These experiences and a passion for science led her to receive a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from Emory University. For the last 12 years she has worked as a Pediatric Registered Nurse and a Charge Nurse. Most recently, working at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Her experiences of managing admissions throughout the day, handling unexpected issues while monitoring nurses, technicians, patients, and communication with the interdisciplinary team have inspired her to expand her impact. She is thrilled to bring Kiddie Academy to the Kennesaw, GA community. As a mother of two boys herself, a 5-year-old and 2-year-old, she understands parents’ concern for safety and wellbeing of their children and understands how to care for children. Having gone through the process of looking into education-based-childcare when her eldest son was ready to start school, she knew how important communication to finding the right fit is. Payal will be at the Academy managing the day-to-day operations from building an experienced team of educators to keeping families up to date with Academy happening, she will immerse herself in the community.
