Families in DuPage County now have two new options for high-quality early childhood education and care.
Kiddie Academy® Educational Child Care has announced the opening of Kiddie Academy of Wheaton, 21 Blanchard Circle, and Kiddie Academy of South Naperville, 4083 Route 59. Both are operated by Kiddie’s Playgroup Management and mark the latest expansion for the nationally recognized child care brand.
“We are beyond thrilled to open our doors to the wonderful Wheaton and Naperville communities,” said Emily Roth, marketing coordinator at Kiddie’s Playgroup Management. “Our highly trained and attentive staff cannot wait to build lasting relationships with local families and jumpstart their children’s early learning journey.”
Modern spaces designed for learning and play
Each new Kiddie Academy spans 10,500 square feet and includes 10 classrooms, indoor gyms and activity rooms for supervised play.
Children also have access to a modern outdoor turf playground and innovative learning tools such as interactive gaming projectors and ZONO disinfecting and sanitizing cabinets that promote health and hygiene.
Both Academies feature full-service kitchens where nutritious meals are prepared daily, reinforcing Kiddie Academy’s holistic approach to child development and well-being.
A boost for local families and jobs
Together, the new Academies will serve up to 302 children, from infants as young as 6 weeks to preschoolers preparing for kindergarten. The openings have also created approximately 50 new jobs in the Wheaton and Naperville areas.
Since opening its first location in 1981, Kiddie Academy has grown into a trusted national brand known for its Life Essentials® Curriculum, which blends academic, social and character education to prepare children for lifelong success.
The company’s programs are accredited by Cognia, a globally recognized mark of quality in education.
