"We welcome all Harford County-area residents to attend this event, which is sure to be very informative, so that they are familiar with our services and learn hands-on what we are all about," said Kiddie Academy’s Vice President of Education, Richard Peterson. “We want to make this a healthy and fun event for the entire family, so we’re offering guests healthy snack treats and refreshments, our popular make-your-own yogurt bar, and plenty of opportunities to get moving and stay active throughout the event.”

Kiddie Academy®, founded in 1981, began with the idea to combine learning with child care, and made a commitment to be a leader in the industry. Kiddie Academy® has developed a comprehensive education-based child care program for its academies, which are structured to respond to the increasing demand for child care. The Abingdon location utilizes a curriculum created to promote each child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth. According to Peterson, the programs emphasize continuous, open communication between teachers and parents concerning each child’s development.

"Not only will those who attend our grand opening event learn about what we have to offer, they will also see how much fun it is for the children who are a part of the Kiddie Academy® family," Peterson added. "The variety of activities available here at the Abingdon location is endless and they encourage children to learn, play and explore."
