Meet the Owners

James & Brittany Ihedigbo

James Ihedigbo, a 10-year NFL veteran and Super Bowl Champion (2012, Baltimore Ravens), and his wife Brittany, a registered nurse, transitioned from professional sports and healthcare to entrepreneurship in 2016 with the launch of Kiddie Academy of Lakes of Savannah in Rosharon, TX. After researching child care franchise options, they were drawn to Kiddie Academy’s strong academic foundation. With insight from James’ mother, Dr. Rose Ihedigbo—an expert in early childhood education—and their personal experience enrolling their daughter Grace, the Ihedigbos knew Kiddie Academy was the right fit. Since opening, they have built a thriving, trusted brand known for excellence in early education, high enrollment, and deep community ties. Their passion for educational development, family values, and operational excellence has made them standout leaders in the child care industry. Today, they serve over 1,500 children annually across multiple locations, continuing to invest in building a legacy rooted in learning and growth.

Teri Wicks

Director
Teri has been a Director for the past five years. She just completed and received a non-expiring Directors license by completing over 600 hours of Continuing Childhood Development Education and Management. Before she became a Director, she taught in the Preschool industry for the past eight years as a Preschool teacher. She has taught as young as 18 months and up to Kindergarten. It was when her youngest child attend a Mother’s Day Out Program and Teri helped by subbing in a class that she discovered that this was where her passion came alive. Teri’s philosophy is that if she takes care of her parents and staff, they will take care of her kids! She believes that Preschool is the foundation that all children need before they begin their journey in education. Nothing gives her more pleasure than to see a child achieving a task as simple as saying their A, B, C’s or writing their name for the first time. Teri also volunteered at her church in the Children’s Nursery overseeing the volunteers helping with the babies. She continued to do this along with her duties at the Preschool until she took over the Directors position. Teri has been married to Bob for twenty-four years and has four wonderful children Cory, Britt, Adam and Sarah. She homeschooled her youngest two and took all the information she learned there and transferred it to the Preschool industry. Teri states that she wants all her kids to MASTER not learn and she does this by the way she trains her staff. She unwinds the day by watching old movies, reading books or spending time with her family. She also loves traveling with her family (yes, she like car trips) and Disney is a place she never gets tired of visiting. Teri also has three other members of the family that she must mention; Bandit, Lucy and Ginger her three Shih Tzu’s. Life just wouldn’t be the same without them!
