Partnership Brings Quality Early-Childhood Education to Northeast Philadelphia Neighborhood

A new early-childhood education center born out of a nonprofit partnership opened its doors in Northeast Philadelphia for this school year, bringing quality early-childhood education to an area that didn't have many options before.

Before the Kinder Academy opened on Elgin Avenue just off the intersection of Cottman and Castor avenues, in Rhawnhurst, the building where it's located sat vacant. But now, leaders and organizers who helped to open the early-childhood education center say it will help the neighborhood.
