Natalie Rodriguez
Owner/Business Manager
As a mother of two, our focus in bringing Kids Academy into the Greater Cleveland area, is in creating an environment where children can grow and feel they are important. Being able to provide a child care facility where our family can feel comfortable in sending our own children to. We want to focus on early childhood education as a base to provide the new generation a foundation to help them be successful in life. With ten years of experience in working with families and children at Positive Education Program, I was able to gain the experience to help families achieve goals and strive for the best. We can't wait to meet all of you interested in our center personally and share our story!
