Meet the Owners

Katie Moore

As the parents of two children, I struggled to find a satisfactory day care. During my search I decided to embark on my lifelong dream of owning a business and fell in love with Kiddie Academy. Kiddie Academy possesses all of the qualities that I was looking for with caring teachers, a fun atmosphere and strong curriculum. I help oversee the day to day operations at our Bolingbrook, Darien and Oak Park locations and am working on opening additional locations. I am very active with the Kiddie Academy corporate office in developing exciting changes to programs nationwide. Our children are our greatest blessing and during their time at Kiddie Academy, they received a well-rounded education while building on their personality and growth; all while having fun and making new friends! We thank you for choosing Kiddie Academy and I promise to give your children the same experience and treatment
