Kiddie Academy Experiences Record Growth in 2022
Kiddie Academy® Educational Child Care, a nationally recognized system of comprehensive educational child care franchises, grew enrollment nearly 9% system wide as the company expanded to more than 305 franchised Academy locations last year, a 7% increase over 2021. The rise in enrollments outpaced unit growth, meaning Academies, on average, served more children year over year.
"Our incredible growth shows that the demand for quality child care is high, and Kiddie Academy is ready to meet it," said Joshua Frick, president of Kiddie Academy Domestic Franchising, LLC. "Our franchisees contribute to the success of the organization, and their dedication to offering high quality care to children across the country helps us continue to grow."
The franchise system opened 22 new Academies in 2022, expanding its footprint into Oregon and Iowa, new markets for the Kiddie Academy brand. Texas fueled the most growth, opening six new Academies. Construction began for franchise locations in three new states, Hawaii, Kentucky and Oklahoma, scheduled to open for business in 2023.
Last year also marked a milestone for corporate social responsibility efforts for the brand. In 2022, Kiddie Academy corporate team members volunteered more than 300 hours through the company's robust volunteer time off program, and the brand donated more than $80,000 to charities, including partner organizationFamily Promise.
The Kiddie Academy brand also established its Community Fund in June to support educators and staff in times of hardship. In the first six months of operation, the fund collected more than $16,000 in donations and awarded six grants totaling just over $5,000.
"Kiddie Academy's purpose-driven objective is twofold," said Frick. "We support staff and educators during difficult life events with the Community Fund. We also work to help local communities on a larger scale by donating time and raising money through events."
To support the brand's ever-evolving proprietary Life Essentials® curriculum, Kiddie Academy initiated two national surveys in 2022, gleaning insights from 4,000 parent respondents. Some key findings that will inform ongoing curriculum development include that 95% of parents believe it's important that a school curriculum reinforces the values children learn at home and that 73% of parents say they learned most life and social skills during their early school years.
I am so proud of how much I have learned and grown from owning Kiddie Academy. Owning a business has opened many doors for my family and me. Although our life is busier now, we are able to do much more now.
What really stuck out about Kiddie Academy was the very open nature of conversations. It just felt right. As we started digging deeper, I spoke with other franchisees and they verified my inkling that Kiddie Academy is a system that is actually very open and flexible.
Kiddie Academy has been fantastic and we owe so much to this great group of people... This team really changed our lives and they're helping us change the lives of all of these children... It's the best thing we've ever done.
I have flexibility in my personal and professional life and I'm responsible for my own success.
