## Story

Kiddie Academy Educational Child Care has announced the opening of its 300th location in Urbandale, Iowa. Iowa’s first Kiddie Academy unit will bring 28 jobs to the area and expects to serve 182 children aged between six months to 12 years.

“We’re dedicated to developing what is unique in every child and understand that every interaction is an opportunity to leave a positive impact,” said Kiddie Academy Domestic Franchising, LLC President Joshua Frick.

“The 300th Academy milestone is a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come and to look ahead. We look forward to nurturing, educating and inspiring thousands of children in communities across the country for years to come.”

The brand has been ranked on numerous lists from the likes of *Entrepreneur* and other franchising publications.

“Rankings like this are based on a franchise system’s fiscal strength, stability and development, further solidifying Kiddie Academy’s reputation as an industry leader in both franchising and educational child care.”

In the past year, the brand has celebrated 40 years of childhood education by donating $40,000 to a national non-profit focused on providing prevention, shelter and stabilization services to communities across the U.S. As a result of the brand’s philanthropic efforts, it was named the 2022 Cause Marketing Champion award in Franchise Update Media’s Franchise Innovation Awards.
