Extending Life Essentials® Into the Community

Community EssentialsSM defines how we put corporate social responsibility into action at Kiddie Academy. It is defined by the way we treat each other in every setting and situation, the examples we set for the children in our care, and the respect we pay to the environment that our children are inheriting.

We find developmentally appropriate ways to bring Community EssentialsSM to life in and outside of our classrooms, engaging educators, parents, and the community at large along the way.

Kiddie Academy Values-Aligned Giving 

Our partnerships reflect the heart behind Kiddie Academy’s mission and allow us to make meaningful contributions to causes that align with our values of education, health, and child and family well-being. 

Why We Give: Kiddie Academy’s Commitment to Community 

Community Begins Here® reflects the very essence of Kiddie Academy. It’s the foundation of who we are. From the very beginning, we’ve believed that when children grow in nurturing communities, they thrive for a lifetime. 
 
That belief drives everything we do, from our Life Essentials® curriculum to the nonprofit organizations we support. We partner with causes that reflect the core of our business: education, health, and the well-being of children and families. These aren’t just boxes to check, they’re deeply personal to everyone at Kiddie Academy, reflected in the values we share and the actions we take together. 
 
As a private, family-owned business, we’re proud to support organizations and local nonprofits that uplift families in the communities we serve. 
 
Whether it’s in our hometown of Baltimore, or in the 350+ neighborhoods where our Academies are rooted, our focus remains the same: to serve families, strengthen communities, and help children flourish. 
 
Because when we invest in our communities, we invest in every child’s future. 

Community Essentials in Action

In Partnership with <em>Family Promise<sup>®</sup></em>

In Partnership with Family Promise®

As part of our corporate social responsibility efforts, we forged a partnership with national nonprofit, Family Promise. Working together with Family Promise is just one of the ways we bring Community Essentials℠ to life.

Family Promise shares our commitment to improve communities and build brighter futures for children. That’s why we’ve partnered with the nonprofit to empower families experiencing homelessness and set children up for success.
