OUR VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE
KD INFANT CARE PROGRAM
Early childhood education and development is critically important in the initial stages of a child’s life. At KD Academy, our teachers and staff help facilitate this period of learning, and that is what separates us from traditional childcare facilities.
KD TODDLER CARE PROGRAM
At KD Academy, we build on the momentum of your toddler’s learning and natural curiosity to help them learn at their own pace. We also begin the process of table time, introducing the toddlers to a structured environment. This in turn assists the transition for the learning environment when advancing to the 2-year-old classroom.
KD TWO-YEAR-OLD CARE
While your 2-year-old is at our Academy, he/she will experience the next level of a structured learning environment. These children will become engaged with understanding learning principles. This is also the class where children will be introduced to potty training.
KD THREE-YEAR-OLD & FOUR-YEAR-OLD CARE
At KD Academy, we nurture your 3-year-old’s creativity and put your 3-year-old’s natural sense of wonder to work, teaching them about reading, math, people, and our environment through hands-on activities.
Our program enables learning experiences where your 4-year-old’s creativity can thrive in an environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, self-identity, and forming respectful relationships.
KD FIVE-YEAR-OLD CARE
Our program enables learning experiences where your 5-year-old’s creativity can thrive in an environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, self-identity, and forming respectful relationships.

TESTIMONIALS & ENDORSEMENTS
I am more than happy to recommend KD Academy as not only a Child Care Provider but also a Learning Academy. Our daughter Aurora has attended KD Academy for over a year and a half. She absolutely loves it there. The staff and learning environment are top notch! Our initial introduction to the academy was with the owners, Mr. Mac and Miss Penny. Aurora was attending a traditional Monday through Friday daycare at the time. My wife and I do not work traditional hours and needed something that worked better with our schedules. Mr. Mac and Miss Penny explained that their academy was open 24 hours a day, closing at 6:00pm on Saturday and closed on Sunday. While this was a huge relief for us, it wasn't the deciding factor. Mr. Mac made a statement that he tells the staff they have to love these children and that sold me. I will say that his statement is 100% accurate. The staff does indeed love the children and the kids love them. The children are taught things they need to know for kindergarten as well as plenty of time for exercise. The facility is first class. It stays consistently clean. It has a cafeteria that provides 3 meals a day. They also use an app which provides updates with pictures and/or videos of what the children are doing. As we close in on our relocation date, I truly hope that we can find a facility like KD Academy. They have taken great care of Aurora and the three of us will miss the staff. If we weren't moving, Aurora would absolutely stay enrolled there. If you're looking for a place to not only watch your child, but also love and teach your child, then KD Academy is the place for you. Finally, on behalf of my family, I'd like to say thank you to Mr. Mac, Miss Penny and the entire staff at KD Academy. You have been wonderful to work with. I truly appreciate what you've done for us and our daughter. We will miss you

KD Academy is convenient, affordable and welcoming. My son is shy, but he has opened up more since attending KD Academy. If you're looking for childcare, don't look at the location or the building, look at the people who are inside because I think they're doing a great job overall.

Wonderful staff. Very good day/night care. My niece & nephew love KD Academy. I’m so thankful for them.
Miesha Caldwell
KD Academy is a professional and diverse learning center. I don't feel like my child is just a number for them and my son always comes home with new skills. I love that I can send my son to KD Academy each day and feel comfortable, knowing I do not need to worry about him or his safety.

I've known Mrs. Penny for years and don’t have one complaint. Keep up the good work!

The Kiddie Depot Daycare LLC is one of the best daycares in Kansas City. The birth of my first grandchild, A’Nyia is how it became in existence. My Grandaughter’s Grandmother, Ms Penny Dale (now Mrs Penny McCant) did not want anyone to care for our first grandchild, so she decided to go after her dream and open up her own daycare. With her following her passion, the Kiddie Depot Daycare has continuously grown year after year. The daycare provides the children we care for a lot of love ❤️, educational tools to prepare our kids for kindergarten, and ole fashion motherly attention. I’m so grateful to this daycare because now I’ve had a total of four grandchildren who have grown up and through Kiddie Depot Daycare.

WE ARE HERE FOR OUR FAMILIES
24 HOUR CHILD CARE
KD Academy prides itself on being recognized as Kansas City’s complete, 24hr/7day service for childcare. We are here for parents regardless of their work schedule demands. In addition, we have built collaborative partnerships with local employers so that they may offer childcare as a part of their hiring package for the second shift and overnight employees
FEATURE TWO
BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL
Because of our 24hr services, this allows for an extensive before and after school program. This service is catered to students 6-12yrs of age. Before Care: This program allows parents to leave the older siblings at our facility in the mornings where we provide breakfast before transportation arrives to take them to their school. After Care: Arriving back to the center following school, the students are fed a full meal and are engaged with our staff to complete homework or assist as teacher aids with the students of the facility.
WE ARE BLESSED WITH GREAT PEOPLE
GREAT STAFF
Our business began in August 2012 and we are proud to announce we still employee our original 5 employees, therefore our turnover rate is minimal. Today we have a combined total of 23 and look to hire more employees soon.
LOVE. EDUCATION. NUTRITION
NUTRITIOUS MEALS
We understand the importance of a well-balanced meal within our facility. Our children are fed well, its often referred to as “Thanksgiving four times per week,” with Friday being our fun day consisting of chicken strips, pizza and alike. No fried foods are prepared here!
