About us
The story behind our Houston daycare
First Kids Academy exists because finding child care you trust should not feel impossible. We built the school we wished existed for our own kids.
Founded by a mom of five
Our founder and head of school, Ruaa Saeedi, spent years living the same struggle so many Houston parents know: juggling work and family while searching for a place that would love her children the way she does. First Kids Academy is her answer, a school where every child is known by name and every parent is a partner.
We are fully licensed by Texas Health and Human Services Child Care Regulation and serve children from infancy through school age at our campus on Highway 6 in southwest Houston.
