    Amanda Johnson, Director

    Hello, I am Ms. Amanda and I have been the Director at The Kiddie Academy of Midlothian since June 2017 and will be opening the Watkins location. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Special Education from Old Dominion University. I have worked in the childcare industry for almost 20 years and adore every minute of it. I have lived in the Chesterfield area most of my life and love being close to the mountains and the beach. I am happily married and have 2 stepsons. We all enjoy the outdoors and being on the water. I am thrilled to be a part of The Kiddie Academy of Midlothian family and watch it expand. I look forward to watching your children grow and explore the world around them for years to come!

    Charul & Raj Patel, Owner

    Thank you for taking the time to visit our website!  I, Charul Patel, am the managing member for Kiddie Academy of Midlothian-Watkins.  Raj and I both graduated from Rutgers University in New Jersey and moved to Chesterfield County shortly after we married over 20+ years!  We have raised both of our children, Devan and Riya, here in the Chesterfield community and couldn’t imagine having done so anywhere else!  When opening our first academy, our goal was to provide a safe, nurturing environment in which our amazing and caring staff would help us build the foundations for our children, in order to raise them to be confident, independent, smart individuals that will eventually take on the world!  This is still our goal for our second location here at Watkins!  We have made so many connections with the families at KAM and can't wait to make so many more at KAM-Watkins!  Remember “Community Begins Here”!
