Kiddie Academy of Bothell recently received multiple awards from the parent company, Kiddie Academy, during their annual national conference in Orlando, Fla. The Bothell location’s owners, Steven and Susan Ahrens, accepted two Kiddie Academy Annual Recognition Awards, including The Life Essentials Award and the Customer Service Award.

“I am so proud to see that our team’s hard work and dedication to our children and to Kiddie Academy has been noticed and has allowed us to earn these awards,” Steven Ahrens said. “We

appreciate the recognition, as well as the support and encouragement from all of our families at

the academy.”

In addition, the academy received Best Practices awards for Character Education, Community Building and Family Involvement, Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum, Health & Fitness, and Technology Education.

Each year, one Kiddie Academy is chosen from the nearly 120 locations within the system as the sole winner of the overall Life Essentials Award.

The Bothell academy was selected as the 2012 winner of this award due to their dedication to exemplifying the highest level of program service delivery in each of the four Life Essentials pillar areas: Curriculum, Character Education, Health & Fitness, and Technology.
