Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies, a national early childhood education franchise with more than three decades of experience, announced a groundbreaking ceremony for its first center in the Hamilton Mill, GA area on Tuesday, March 28 at 12:30 p.m. at 3690 Ridge Road in Buford. The opening of the Hamilton Mill area school marks the continued expansion of Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies in the state of Georgia.   

The new Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of the Hamilton Mill area is owned and operated by first-time franchisee, Robert Bowman. As a native to the area, he saw the need for quality education in the community, leading him to explore the opportunity to join the franchise industry. In addition to joining Kids 'R' Kids, Robert is currently a residential builder with Premier Home Builders, Inc., a company he has been with for the past 24 years.

"I am thrilled to break ground on the first Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy in the Hamilton Mill area, and am eager to introduce the top-of-the-line secure, nurturing and educational environment the Kids 'R' Kids' brand is known for through the new upgraded facility," said Robert Bowman." I look forward to the opportunity to create a strong educational foundation for each and every child in the community that will come through our doors."

The Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of the Hamilton Mill area will feature top-of-the-line classrooms equipped with age appropriate learning materials and furniture, SMART Board interactive technology and a variety of outdoor play areas for children of all ages. The 16,000 square-foot facility will also include a computer lab, cafeteria and library. The new school is projected to open Fall 2017.
