First-time entrepreneurs open spacious child care center
CLEVELAND, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kiddie Academy of Twinsburg, the new franchise location of nationally recognized Kiddie Academy® Educational Child Care, is now open, expanding child care availability in the Cleveland area. The Academy, owned and operated by Shailendra Mishra and Garima Pandey, features spacious classrooms with smaller group sizes and lower ratios than state requirements to support a nurturing learning environment. The Academy also features a large indoor gross-motor room for play.
"We know how important it is for children to have space to spread out, move around and interact with each other," said Mishra. "That's why we intentionally built our classrooms to be large, added a big indoor play space and designed an outdoor playground that includes a bike track, Versa court and age-appropriate play structures."
The couple has lived in Aurora for the past five years with their two children. They noticed a need for new high-quality early childhood education centers when they moved to the area and were searching for child care. With Mishra's background leading multi-national teams in IT and Pandey's teaching experience and master's degree in education, the first-time entrepreneurs have the expertise and passion necessary to provide care to area children.
"It brings us so much joy to be present at Kiddie Academy of Twinsburg every day," said Pandey. "We hope to nurture and develop children in our area for many years to come."
Kiddie Academy of Twinsburg, which is located at 2661 Creekside Drive in Twinsburg, employs 25 educators. The Academy is equipped with 11 spacious classrooms and a large playground area.
