The Kiddie Academy, located at 11767 FM 1488, opened Dec. 1 in Magnolia. Owner Jody Garner said The Kiddie Academy provides the community with safe and educational child care for children 6 weeks old through elementary school.

"Our well-trained staff, state-of-the-art facility, playground and extended hours are just a small part of what sets us apart from other child care facilities," she said. "We are also a very family-oriented center with low child-to-staff ratios and an excellent curriculum."

Garner asked the community to call for availability and fees. 936-286-3212. www.thekiddieacademy.com
