Kiddie Academy of Renton hosted their grand opening event Oct. 29. Attendees enjoyed Harvest Festival with games and prizes, age-appropriate arts and crafts throughout the academy classrooms, as well as an official ribbon cutting to open the Academy to the public with honorary guests including Mayor Denis Law.

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 Renton location utilizes a curriculum created to promote each child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth. The programs emphasize continuous, open communication between teachers and parents concerning each child’s development.
