Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies® Poised for International Expansion with Opening of Corporate Office in Beijing

DULUTH, Ga., Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Representative of an esteemed 30-year history in early education with 157 preschool facilities in 14 states all across the nation, Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies® first set its sights on global expansion five years ago. With the recent opening of the Kids 'R' Kids China corporate office in Beijing, the U.S.-based preschool franchise is poised to open its first international location in Shanghai at the beginning of 2015 with nearly a dozen more schools to follow throughout the course of the year.

"The reception to our concept in China has been incredible," said David Vinson, Director of Operations for Kids 'R' Kids International, Inc. "People are drawn to the fact that we offer a 30-year head start on preschool education, and that we are fully accredited by AdvancED™ – the world leader in providing improvement and accreditation services to education providers of all types. It's amazing to think in terms of how far we've come from when Patrick and Janice Vinson opened the first Kids 'R' Kids in Georgia. We're extremely proud of the fact that Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies is the first American-born, privately-held company to franchise preschools in Mainland China."

Now that the corporate office is officially up and running in Beijing, Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies is targeting expansion into additional cities like Chengdu, Shenzhen, Jinan, and Hong Kong.  Beyond China, Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academies is also carefully examining other international markets, such as South America, United Arab Emirates, Australia and India. In the U.S., the early education franchise seeks further growth nationwide, including previously untapped markets such as New Jersey and Colorado.
