The Kiddie Academy of White Plains recently opened at 222 Bloomingdale Road in White Plains. It is the newest location in the Kiddie Academy network of approximately 280 franchises across the United States. Owners Leah Tomberlin and Ricardo McDonald are local residents and entrepreneurs who saw the need for the Kiddie Academy approach in their local community. They have hired a staff of professional educators who have been fully immersed in the Kiddie Academy philosophy and teaching approach that have made the company one of the top 10 franchises according to “Forbes” magazine.
Kiddie Academy of White Plains officially opened its doors last month after several months of renovating and transforming the former traditional office space into a unique educational and learning environment that reflects the Kiddie Academy philosophy of Life Essentials. By focusing on character education, STEM-infused technology and health and fitness experiences, Kiddie Academy creates momentum for learning that propels a child”™s inquisitiveness in life.
Tomberlin and McDonald chose the 14,000-square-foot space at 222 Bloomingdale Road because of its central location in the city of White Plains and the willingness of building owner Celestial Group to work with them on the transformation of the traditional office space into a unique learning environment for children, complete with outdoor playground.
Scully Construction LLC was hired by Celestial Group to work with architect Stefano Cardarelli and his Cardarelli Design Group, to transform the traditional office space.
Based in White Plains, Scully Construction, established in 1972, is a leading provider of general contracting and construction management services in the New York-metro region.
