Kiddie Academy Opens In North Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, VA—Kiddie Academy of North Springfield is now open and will hold a grand opening Saturday, Sept. 8 from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and ribbon cutting at 10 a.m.

Owners Fatana and Louis Campbell invite the community to the event for pony rides, a moon bounce, face painting, snow cones, popcorn, carnival games, prizes, crafts and a tour of the facility at 5290 Shawnee Road, Alexandria.

"We welcome all community 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 Fatana Campbell. "We want to make this a healthy and fun event for the entire family, so we’re offering guests healthy snack treats and refreshments, and plenty of opportunities to get moving and stay active throughout the event."

Maryland-based Kiddie Academy has been running since 1981. The academies serves children from 6 weeks old to 12 years old, offering full time care, kindergarten, before- and after-school care and summer camp programs. Curriculums are designed for different ages, from infant care to pre-K, kindergarten and school age programs.

The locations are independently owned as franchises, and each works to secure national accreditation as a daycare.

Kiddie Academy has 209 academies in 28 states and the District of Columbia. Other locations nearby are in Alexandria, Centreville, Reston and DC's West End. Around 30 more locations will open this year, and the locations could total 240 next year.
