Where Learning Grows

Alpesh Patel

Managing Member

  Together with my wife, I envisioned opening a childcare center after our unsuccessful efforts in finding quality educational childcare that offers a well-rounded environment and upbringing for our children Ishani and Aaryav. I believe in family values and importance of providing a loving and caring environment which attribute cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development of children at an early age. Now, I am proud and grateful to be a part of the educational childcare community through Kiddie Academy. I strive to shape children into responsible and compassionate citizens who can succeed in the future. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in information Systems from Pennsylvania State University. During college, I completed an internship at Disney World where I learned to treat each member as part of the Disney family. I admire the philosophy and culture it provides to their clients, and I will create the "Disney" philosophy and culture here at our Kiddie Academy center to show parents that they are a vital part of the Kiddie Academy of North Bel Air family.

Growing up, I always believed in Nelson Mandela’s philosophy that "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Education begins as soon as a child is born. To flourish the educational growth in children, they need the proper environment. I envisioned to provide such environment for young children after discovering rh lack of such environment during our unsuccessful search of educational childcare for our children, Ishani and Aaryav. At Kiddie Academy, I strive to provide caring, nurturing, safe and academic environment which is crucial for children emotional, intellectual, physical and social development. I am blessed to offer children an environment that will help shape them into compassionate and responsible citizens. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical Engineering, Masters of Science in Chemical Engineering and Masters in Business Administration. I am proud and grateful to be a part of the educational child care community through Kiddie Academy.

Director

I wear two incredibly fulfilling hats in life – that of a dedicated early childhood teacher and a proud mother of two vibrant young girls. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Child Studies from Post University and am working towards my Master’s Degree in Curriculum Development. For 16 years, 18 years total in the field, I've had the privilege of nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning in my role as a Director and Teacher at a center in northern New Jersey. Witnessing the spark of curiosity ignite in my students and helping them navigate the wonders of education is both a privilege and a responsibility that I hold dear. With a background in child development and a passion for early education, I am committed to ensuring that Kiddie Academy continues to be a place where your children can learn, explore, and thrive. My goal is to create an atmosphere that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning, while also prioritizing their safety and well-being.
