Andrea brings more than 20 years of marketing, sales and advertising experience to the Kids 'R' Kids network, calling on her skills and acumen to drive the continued success of the business.

"For the past six years, Kids 'R' Kids has built strong relationships with both children and families in the Crystal Lake community and now we look forward to working with even more families at our new facility in Cary," said Ed Kulach. "Both Andrea and I are thrilled to bring Kids 'R' Kids to the community and are eager to introduce our exclusive curriculum and stimulating environment to local residents. We look forward to supporting the education and development of future generations in our hometown for many years to come."

The Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of Cary-Grove will feature top-of-the-line safety equipment with cameras in each classroom, SMART® Board interactive technology and four different age-appropriate playgrounds. The 18,000 square-foot facility will also include a computer lab, cafeteria, library and 14 classrooms. Located across from the Deer Path Elementary School in Cary, the new Academy will provide before and after school care with busing supporting districts D3, D26 and D46. The Learning Academy is projected to open in Summer 2017.

For more than 30 years, Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies has upheld its long-standing principle of strengthening and encouraging childhood development on an emotional, intellectual, social and physical level through a unique partnership between its teachers and families.

The company offers a variety of curriculum programs designed for infants through prekindergarten. Its proprietary First Class Curriculum® is designed specifically for every developmental stage of education with theme-based units, specific learning activities and teacher-friendly lesson plans. Last year, Kids 'R' Kids launched a revolutionary music curriculum called ColorSoundation™, which was developed by noted Los Angeles-based musician and teacher Shiho Yamamoto, to teach very young children the fundamentals of music through the integration and interplay of colors with sounds.

Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies also offers an integrated project-based curriculum, STEAM AHEAD®, designed for preschool students, ages three to five, which incorporates more science, technology, engineering, art, and math into everyday learning through play.

With a nationally awarded curriculum, Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies provides early education and care for children from six weeks through 12 years of age at its nearly 160 schools located in 16 states across the country. Programs offered to children include infant care, toddler and preschooler care, private pre-K and kindergarten, before-and-afterschool care and summer camp. In order to provide even more convenience for families with busy schedules, Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies remain open during all major school breaks and holidays nationwide, all year round.
