Kiddie Academy of Cypress is expected to open on Mueschke Road in November.[/caption]

A handful of new early childhood education facilities in Cy-Fair are trying to meet the growing demand in the area for daycare and before and after school care.

Courtney Adams—who will co-run Kiddie Academy of Cypress on Mueschke Road with her sister Katy Maupin and aunt Lesa Hall—said she chose Cypress for two reasons: she recognized it as a rapidly growing area and she wanted to provide education to children in the community where she lives.

“In many conversations with families in the area, we learned that people are driving long distances to find childcare that meets their needs,” she said.

Adams also said the Mueschke Road location provides her with around 13,000-square-feet of playground space. One of the core components of the Kiddie Academy education philosophy relates to the importance of health and fitness, she said.

“We wanted enough space for kids to able to run, play and develop,” Adams said.

Adams, who is aiming to open her location by Nov. 1, said she and Maupin will run the day-to-day operations of the academy. Maupin, a former kindergarten teacher, will serve as the site’s director.

Kiddie Academy of Cypress will cater to children ages 6 weeks through 12 years old with a capacity of 243 students, Adams said. It will be open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., she said.
