Kiddie Academy of Trinity Falls, a newly opened franchise of the nationally recognized Kiddie Academy Educational Child Care, has launched in the greater Dallas area, introducing a STEM-focused model for early childhood learning. Owned and operated by Reshma Kankanala and Sreenath Reddy Putta, the center will mark its opening with a grand celebration and a STEM Adventures community event on March 28.

“Trinity Falls is experiencing rapid growth, and we saw a clear demand for quality early education options nearby,” said Putta. “With many new homes being developed and limited childcare facilities in the area, we’re excited to offer families a dependable place where children can learn and thrive every day.”

The husband-and-wife team behind the Academy both hold master’s degrees in computer science and bring strong backgrounds in technology and business leadership. Their expertise in innovation and entrepreneurship plays a key role in shaping the Academy’s emphasis on STEM learning.

“Skills like problem-solving and technological understanding are crucial for future success,” Kankanala added. “By blending our experience with Kiddie Academy’s curriculum, we’ve created a supportive setting that encourages confidence, curiosity, and critical thinking in young learners.”

Located at 210 Somerville Drive in McKinney, Kiddie Academy of Trinity Falls spans 10,700 square feet and employs 37 educators. The facility includes 11 classrooms and a STEM-themed outdoor play area designed with age-specific zones, featuring a splash pad, sensory play equipment, and a basketball court.
