Kiddie Academy of Streamwood Awarded Tuition Scholarship for Demonstrating Kindness
To celebrate the company's achievement of enrolling 25,000 students nationwide, local resident and business owner Saj Rizvi of Kiddie Academy of Streamwood was recently awarded a $2,500 in tuition scholarship, to be granted to an enrolled student(s), as part of the leading educational child care provider's "Act of Kindness" campaign.
With consideration and respect for others being a cornerstone of its Life Essentials® curriculum, Kiddie Academy challenged its nationwide network of Academies, including its location in Streamwood, to partake in the "Acts of Kindness" campaign. Students and families participated in and chronicled their own kind acts for a week in an effort to be named one of 10 scholarship recipients. Created with the goal to inspire students across the nation to perform acts of kindness towards their classmates, family, friends and community, the campaign resulted in hundreds of post photos and videos with the hashtag #kiddieacademykindness that embodied the theme of kindness and consideration to others.
"I am so proud of the creativity, empathy, compassion, and respect that the facility and students of Kiddie Academy of Streamwood exhibited throughout the promotional week," notes Rizvi. "They not only championed all of the key facets of character education, a main component of Kiddie Academy's Life Essentials curriculum, but also made a difference in not only their classrooms but the entire Streamwood community."
"We value our families and communities, and believe they are ultimately the reason we achieved this significant milestone," said Greg Helwig, president of Kiddie Academy. "Shaping and inspiring children for the future has always been at the heart of Kiddie Academy's purpose. By consciously performing acts of kindness, our students had a hands-on opportunity to demonstrate these values in action and also witness the impact of their kind acts on others."
