Newest Kiddie Academy Opens
One of the country's newest Kiddie Academy locations recently opened at 6534 Old Waterloo Road in Elkridge as owners Nirali and Pinakin Patel joined the nation's third-largest child care franchise. Kiddie Academy has more than 85 locations in 20 states, with another 60 learning centers in development.
The corporation's goal is to open its 200th location nationwide by the end of 2012. The new owners (and new parents) know, first-hand, the struggles of finding quality childcare. So, after working for corporations, the Patels decided to embrace their entrepreneurial dreams and open their own center, with Nirali handling day-to-day operations.
