Learning Beyond the Classroom
There is no end to learning, and there is potential in every moment, everywhere. We designed our Life Essentials curriculum with this in mind, giving you access to projects and activities that extend the learning from your child’s classroom to your home through our Academy Link® app.
Every moment is an opportunity to learn. Our pre-kindergarten program sets the foundation to help prepare children for school and life.
At Kiddie Academy, the safety and well-being of every child in our daycare, childcare, and preschool programs come first. Each Academy features secure entry systems, strict authorized pick-up procedures, thorough cleaning protocols, and background-checked staff. We follow our comprehensive Health Essentials guidelines to maintain exceptional cleanliness and health standards every day.
All educators at Kiddie Academy daycare, childcare, and preschool programs meet or exceed state requirements for early childhood professionals. This includes full background clearance, verified educational qualifications, and ongoing professional development to ensure the highest standards of care and learning.
In our preschool and pre-K programs, technology is thoughtfully integrated as a supportive learning tool. Our 3-year-old classrooms feature smart boards that engage children in interactive activities, while our 4-year-old VPK classrooms use smart boards to enhance early literacy and math skills. Alongside our childcare curriculum, this balanced approach encourages development of gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and foundational academic abilities. Whether in our daycare or preschool, children benefit from age-appropriate technology that fosters a love of learning.
No need to pack lunch or snacks — we provide it all! Our childcare center offers a variety of nutritious meals and snacks every day, with a focus on whole grain foods that support healthy development. In our daycare classrooms, children enjoy balanced meals that meet high nutritional standards and encourage good eating habits. Families enrolled in our preschool program can feel confident knowing their child is receiving wholesome, nourishing food throughout the day.
Yes, we believe that outdoor time is an essential part of a well-balanced daycare experience. At our childcare facility, children enjoy outdoor play under large, shaded areas that keep them safe and comfortable. Our dedicated teachers use this time to guide children through activities that build physical, social, and cognitive skills. Whether your child is in our preschool or toddler program, outdoor learning is a key part of their daily routine.
Yes. As part of our commitment to high-quality preschool education, we schedule annual family–teacher conferences to review your child’s progress. Whether you're enrolled in our daycare, childcare, or preschool programs, you can request a meeting with the Director at any time.
If your child becomes ill during the day, a parent or authorized guardian will be contacted right away, and your child will be safely and comfortably isolated while awaiting pickup. To protect all children in our preschool programs, we follow strict health and hygiene protocols. Our childcare staff maintains exceptionally high cleaning standards throughout the day to prevent the spread of illness. These precautions are in place across our daycare classrooms to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every child.
We take food allergies seriously and have a careful process in place to track and monitor each child’s dietary needs. In our childcare program, appropriate substitutions are always made to ensure every meal is safe and inclusive. Whether your child is in our daycare or preschool, our team works closely with families to support allergy management and create a safe eating environment for all children.
