Discover Learning, Play & Possibility at Kiddie Academy of Urbana

Choosing a childcare center is about more than finding a place for your child to spend the day. Families want an environment where their children feel comfortable, develop meaningful relationships, explore new interests, and build the skills they will carry with them as they grow.

At Kiddie Academy of Urbana, we believe some of the most important learning happens through everyday experiences. From a baby’s first discoveries to a preschooler’s growing independence, our educational childcare programs are designed to meet children where they are developmentally while encouraging them to explore what comes next.

Families looking for daycare, preschool, or early childhood education in Urbana, Maryland, are invited to discover what makes our Academy a special part of the community during our upcoming open house events.

Early Learning Programs Designed for Every Stage

Every age brings new interests, abilities, and opportunities for discovery. Our programs provide developmentally appropriate experiences that encourage children to build confidence, develop relationships, and become active participants in their learning.

At Kiddie Academy of Urbana, we offer educational childcare programs for children from infancy through Pre-Kindergarten.

Infant Care (6 weeks–12 months)

A baby’s first year is filled with incredible milestones. Our infant program emphasizes nurturing relationships, individualized attention, sensory exploration, and opportunities for early communication and discovery. We recognize that every baby develops at their own pace, and our educators work to create a comfortable environment that supports each child’s emerging abilities.

Toddler Care (13–24 months)

Toddlers are natural explorers! As children become more mobile, curious, and independent, their days are filled with opportunities to investigate their surroundings, develop language, practice social interactions, and discover new ways to express themselves. Through play, movement, music, and hands-on experiences, toddlers begin building the foundation for lifelong learning.

Early Preschool (2-year-olds)

Two-year-olds are ready to take on new challenges. Our Early Preschool program encourages children to strengthen communication, develop problem-solving skills, explore early concepts, and practice independence. Through purposeful play and engaging classroom experiences, children begin making connections between the world around them and the things they are learning.

Preschool (3-year-olds)

Preschool is an exciting time for developing friendships, asking questions, and discovering new interests. Our three-year-old program encourages early literacy, mathematics, creative expression, and critical thinking. Children are given opportunities to investigate, experiment, communicate their ideas, and learn alongside their classmates.

Pre-Kindergarten (4–5-year-olds)

As children prepare for their next educational chapter, our Pre-Kindergarten program focuses on strengthening the skills that support a successful transition to kindergarten. Through literacy, mathematics, science, social development, and hands-on learning experiences, children practice independence, build confidence, and develop the ability to approach new challenges.

What Makes Kiddie Academy of Urbana Different?

A strong early childhood education experience should extend beyond traditional classroom activities. At Kiddie Academy of Urbana, we incorporate additional learning opportunities that give children new ways to explore, communicate, and connect with the world around them.

Life Essentials®: Learning With Purpose

Our proprietary Life Essentials® curriculum focuses on six important outcomes: Character, Confidence, Curiosity, Connection, Critical Thinking, and Creative Expression.

These outcomes are woven into everyday classroom experiences. Whether children are working together on a project, exploring a science concept, creating artwork, or learning to solve a problem, each experience provides an opportunity to develop skills that extend beyond the classroom.

Weekly Spanish Experiences

Language learning can begin at an early age! Our weekly Spanish experiences introduce children to new vocabulary and language through engaging, age-appropriate activities. These opportunities encourage communication, curiosity, and an appreciation for language.

Preschool Yoga

Movement and learning go hand in hand. Our preschool yoga sessions are included in tuition and give children opportunities to practice balance, coordination, body awareness, and mindful movement. It is another way we encourage children to explore their abilities while developing skills that support their overall learning experience.

A Little Curiosity Around the Table

We believe mealtime can be an opportunity for discovery, too. Our little food critics are encouraged to explore different foods, talk about their experiences, and develop curiosity about what is on their plates. These everyday conversations can introduce new vocabulary, encourage independence, and make trying something unfamiliar an exciting experience.

A Commitment to Quality Early Childhood Education

Kiddie Academy of Urbana holds a Maryland EXCELS Level 3 rating, reflecting our commitment to quality early childhood education and continuous improvement. We believe providing meaningful learning experiences starts with thoughtful planning, dedicated educators, and an environment where children are encouraged to participate, explore, and develop at their own pace.
