We’ve been shaping, fueling, and nurturing children’s natural curiosity since we opened our first Academy over 40 years ago. We’re driven to prepare children for life. Through our passion for early childhood education, community commitment, and our Life Essentials® curriculum, we’re here to educate and encourage your child to do more and be more—not just while they’re with us, but outside the classroom as well.
Explore Our HistoryKiddie Academy is an education-based child care provider serving children from six weeks to 12 years old across more than 375 locations nationwide. Every Academy teaches the same research-based curriculum built around six developmental outcomes: cognitive, social, emotional, physical, character, and creative growth. That curriculum is Life Essentials®, and it pairs structured learning with individualized care at each age and stage.
We are a community that nurtures, educates, and inspires children for the future in Kiddie Academy locations across the country.
Founded in 1981, George and Pauline Miller combined their passion to create an educational child care brand that creates lasting memories. The Miller family continues to own and operate Kiddie Academy to this day. Over the years, they have empowered other families to own and operate Academies in their communities.
We empower children to actively explore their curiosity and spark a desire to learn.
Kiddie Academy’s curriculum is developed and continuously reviewed by a team of early childhood education specialists with backgrounds in child development and psychology. The curriculum is updated on an ongoing basis to reflect current research and to align with each stage of a child’s growth. This proprietary program is Life Essentials®.
