We’re proud to share that Kiddie Academy® has earned the #23 spot on Entrepreneur’s 2025 list of Top Franchises for Veterans. This recognition is more than an accolade; it reflects our deep commitment to supporting those who have served our country.
For years, we’ve partnered with VetFran, an initiative of the International Franchise Association that helps veterans transition into franchise ownership. Through this partnership, we’ve built a culture that values the leadership, dedication, and service veterans bring to our system. These qualities don’t just strengthen our academies they inspire our entire network.
Jonathan Ramsey, a former U.S. Air Force technical sergeant, is one of the proud veterans in our franchise family. In October 2023, Jonathan and his wife, Della, took part in the VetFran program to open Kiddie Academy of Charlotte-Highlands in North Carolina. Learn more about his story here.
At Kiddie Academy, supporting veterans isn’t just part of what we do—it’s part of who we are. If you’re a veteran exploring business ownership, we invite you to take the next step.
