National child care provider offers curriculum that exceeds state standards
OLATHE, Kan., July 23, 2024 -- 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."
