Growth
Kiddie Academy was founded in 1981, yet continues to thrive on the innovative spirit of our roots. You’ll be part of the sustained, strategic growth that earned us national and local rankings in 2018 from Entrepreneur, Franchise Times and the Baltimore Business Journal.
Culture
Over our four decades of private ownership, Kiddie Academy’s expansion has been fueled by a focus on the needs of our families and franchisees. This is personified through our close-knit culture that is simultaneously caring, challenging and energized by an ambition to revolutionize educational childcare.
Collaboration
To be competitive, you have to be collaborative. We value diverse thinking and encourage you to be part of the conversation, whether you’ve been here for a few weeks or 30 years.
Benefits
We’re in the caring business and take care of the whole person by going beyond competitive benefits, insurance plans, 401K, vacation time to recharge, and professional development opportunities. We celebrate our successes, large and small, with everything from crab feasts to baseball game outings.
