ABOUT KIDDIE ACADEMY 

Picture
​Janel A. Work is first and foremost a mother and loving wife. Janel and her husband Jonathan were married in 2008. Maxwell was then born shortly after and he has enriched their lives and keeps them smiling each day. It was due to his birth that Janel decided to take a hiatus from public education and pursue Early Childhood Education. Then in January of 2011, the family was also blessed with their new arrival of Nathaniel (Nate). Then they were blessed with their final addition of Arianna. The family lives in Kimberton with their Labradoodle & German Shepard. Janel graduated from Susquehanna University in 2002 with a B.A. in Communications, Theater Arts and Education. While working in the public school system, she continued her education to complete her M.A. at Villanova in Education.  She also has pursued additional graduate education in ECE from Shippensburg University. After achieving her degree, Janel has worked as a daycare director and public school educator. She has taught at Owen J. Roberts School District, Reading Area School District, and in Montgomery County School System in Maryland. She was also an adjunct professor at Montgomery College. Not only did she teach, but she helped write standards-based curriculum for the school districts and several virtual charter schools. As an educator, Janel believes in enriching each child’s life and meeting their individual needs to help them flourish.

Janel A. Work loves Kiddie Academy in Phoenixville and does not consider it a job but a wonderful lifestyle. She believes the center continues to redefine the standards for childcare in the area. Plus, it is a wonderful resource center to her beloved town. Janel is proud of the accomplishments at the ever growing and changing center.
​
Janel took on Kiddie Academy of Phoenixville during the winter of 2009 before the doors opened. She was hired as the Director of this new center. It began with getting to tour a center that barely had walls and ceilings during epic snow storms & open houses. Quickly she feel in love with the center, getting to know people from her hometown & helping families through the transition of having their children in school for the first time. When the school came up for sale, Janel & Jon quickly jumped on the chance to by their beloved school.

"The coffee is amazing. The food is fresh and delicious. I went yesterday to have breakfast and get caught up on some work. The owner chatted with me, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A lovely man hopped on the piano and played several pieces and then stood up, finished his coffee and headed out. It made me think how lucky I am to live here and have such a uniquely awesome place like Steel City just a few blocks away." ~ Yelp Review
