"Our program inspires imagination through exciting activities and gives children a happier, healthier, better-rounded foundation for school and life."

For children preparing to enter school in the fall, summer camp at Kiddie Academy provides an introduction to school readiness concepts like taking turns, following a set schedule, learning responsibility, and getting familiar with their own independence before the first day of school.
