We are a Teaching Strategies-based Learning Center in Philadelphia. We care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years and provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school.
Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is based on holistic learning and creativity. By blending indoor and outdoor classrooms in a home-away-from-home environment, we create a space where children feel empowered and ready to learn.
Who We Are

KDAAS Academy got its start in Germantown, Philadelphia, by Kesley Jackson. We decided to do things a bit differently by creating a space that fosters early learning in a fun and safe environment where children can explore the world around them.
We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery, as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.
