About
At Kiddie Academy, we offer more than just child care—we provide an enriching, nurturing environment where children ages 2 to 5 build the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Our approach supports the whole child, fostering strong emotional bonds, developing social skills, and cultivating curiosity through meaningful, play-based experiences.
Each day is thoughtfully planned around a robust, standards-based curriculum that’s guided by both developmental milestones and the children’s own interests. Learning happens everywhere—from classroom centers to our outdoor classroom, where little hands dig, plant, build, and collaborate on creative projects that spark wonder and connection with the natural world.
Children are fueled by nutritious meals—breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack, all freshly prepared on-site by our in-house chef. And when it’s time to rest, our calm and cozy nap environment from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. ensures little ones recharge and feel refreshed.
At Kiddie Academy, every moment is an opportunity to feel loved, supported, and inspired to grow.

Director Bio - Christine Jennings
My name is Christine Jennings, and I am the director at Kiddie Academy of Pasadena. A native of California, I have also spent my adolescent years in Bangkok, Thailand. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from California State University of Northridge. With 23 years of experience in early childhood education, I can definitely say that I have a true passion for working with children. I have developed strengths in various philosophies and curricula of Early Childhood, such as the Emergent Curriculum, the RIE philosophy, the Creative Curriculum, High Scope, and the Reggio Emilia philosophy. I greatly advocate child-directed/play-based learning and enjoy mentoring my staff in the various ways. As a mother to a 4-year-old son currently attending Kiddie Academy of Pasadena, my role in education also extends to my family. I love to cook, spend time at the beach, and I’m a certified aerial fitness teacher!
