Kiddie Academy Educational Child Care, a nationally-recognized provider of comprehensive educational child care programs, is opening a new location in Westfield at 1367 S. Waterleaf Drive, across from Ditch Road, and is scheduled to open in Spring 2021.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to bring Kiddie Academy’s advanced curriculum and philosophies to children and families of Westfield,” said Mauricio Fracon, co-owner of Kiddie Academy of Carmel-Westfield. “Our goal at Kiddie Academy is to feed a child’s curiosity and instinct to learn. My team is dedicated to delivering the highest quality educational child care possible to positively shape the lives of the children and families of the Westfield community.”
Kiddie Academy of Carmel-Westfield conducted a groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 8. The Academy will include unique features, such as a large playground with separated zones for different ages, a bike track, slides and elements of nature incorporated throughout. The Academy will also include a double-sized classroom with a projector for special events. Additionally, the 10,500 square-foot Academy will be equipped with a total of 12 classrooms, a maximum capacity of 172 and an approximate staff count of 28 when fully staffed.
