OLATHE,
Kan., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kiddie
Academy of Olathe, the first Kansas franchise location of nationally
recognized Kiddie Academy® Educational Child Care,
announces the grand opening of its new Kansas City-area facility, which offers a
proprietary curriculum that exceeds Kansas Early Learning Standards
(KELS).
"When we decided to open Kiddie Academy of Olathe, we didn't
just want to help alleviate the need for child care in Kansas City, we also wanted to ensure we were
offering high-quality care with a strong curriculum that will
prepare this area's children for life," said Mauricio Fracon,
chairman of TCF Schools Management, which owns and operates Kiddie
Academy of Olathe.
Kiddie Academy's systemwide Life
Essentials® curriculum outperforms all early
learning standards outlined by KELS in the areas of
mathematical knowledge, science, social studies, physical health
and development, social-emotional development, creative arts, and
approaches to learning for children from birth through
preschool.
Kiddie Academy of Olathe, which held its grand opening event on
July 20, is the brand's first Kiddie
Academy location in Kansas and the
13th Kiddie Academy location nationwide under Fracon's management
group. The new 13,000 square-foot facility includes 14 classrooms
and spacious outdoor play areas. The Academy is licensed to serve
215 children and contributes approximately 42 employment
opportunities to the growth of the community.
"We're very excited to open our 13th Kiddie Academy under TCF
Schools Management in Olathe,"
said Ellen Muneratti, CEO of TCF Schools Management. "We're
bringing the Kiddie Academy brand to a new state, and our plan is
to open at least two more schools next year in Kansas. While Olathe has other child care options, our Life
Essentials curriculum sets us apart."
