As part of our corporate social responsibility efforts, we forged a partnership with national nonprofit, Family Promise. Working together with Family Promise is just one of the ways we bring Community Essentials℠ to life.
Family Promise shares our commitment to improve communities and build brighter futures for children. That’s why we’ve partnered with the nonprofit to empower families experiencing homelessness and set children up for success.
About Our PartnershipIn times of emergency or hardship, the Kiddie Academy community comes together in incredible ways. Our disaster relief efforts are rooted in the belief that supporting one another allows us to reach new heights together. The Kiddie Academy Community Fund supports educators and staff during times of need.

The Kiddie Academy Community Fund is an extension of our Kiddie Academy family. It is a way to give back in an organized fashion as our Kiddie Academy family has the normal trials and tribulations in life.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), is the notion that companies can consciously aim to have a positive economic, social, and environmental impact on society.
Community Essentials is committed to empowering children and families for a brighter future.
Each of our individual CSR efforts have specific metrics to help us gauge the impact we’re having. For our fundraising efforts, we look at how much we’ve raised and provided for grants. For our disaster relief and emergency assistance, we look at how many individuals we were able to support. We’re carefully considering performance indicators for each initiative while keeping a pulse on the philanthropic landscape.
We aim to support those initiatives near and dear to the hearts of our community members. There are many worthy causes and limited resources, so we’re always evaluating how we can make the biggest impact.
Character Essentials, a core part of our Life Essentials curriculum, teaches common values and character traits to children with the intention of helping them develop into moral, caring, and responsible citizens.
