Charul & Raj Patel

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website! I, Charul Patel, am the managing member for Kiddie Academy of Midlothian. Raj and I both graduated from Rutgers University in New Jersey and moved to Chesterfield County shortly after we married over 20+ years! We have raised both of our children, Devan and Riya, here in the Chesterfield community and couldn’t imagine having done so anywhere else! When opening this academy, our goal was to provide a safe, nurturing environment in which our amazing and caring staff would help us build the foundations for our children, in order to raise them to be confident, independent, smart individuals that will eventually take on the world! We are so grateful for the Kiddie Academy family and all of the amazing KAM families that are helping us achieve this goal! Remember “Community Begins Here”!
