Kids City USA – Tyler opened its doors over the summer offering unique childcare with its very own mascot.

Kids City USA is the fastest growing preschool franchise in the nation, according to Kid City USA – Tyler owner Tiffany Veasey.

Veasey said she opened the school after leaving the childcare business and missing it after she’d been in the field for more than two decades.

“I’ve worked in childcare for over 20 years. Kids are my passion; my heart was broken when I left childcare two years ago to help my husband with our trucking business,” she said. “My plans are not his plans; God’s plan was for me to be in childcare. I believe when God tells you to do something you must be obedient.”

“I did just that and that’s when I met the CEO of our franchise Audrey Bruner,” Veasey added.

The school has its own character based curriculum call “Bee all you can bee”.

“Our mascot is Mr. Bee visits the children weekly; and we create an environment where kids can ‘bee’ kids,” Veasey said.

Veasey said the Kid City USA – Tyler opened in May offering a loving, safe, and secure place for families to take their children.

“So many families are in need of a loving, safe, secure preschool in our community. We’re the very first franchise in the East Texas area,” she said. “We ‘beelieve’ that Kid City USA will partner with these families that’s been searching for a place that they can drop their children off every day and know that they will be well taken care of.”

Kid City USA’s corporate headquarters is located in Daytona Beach, Florida with over 130 locations throughout the United States.

“We’re currently open and serving our community of working families. Being a uniformed preschool really makes us unique,” said Veasey. “The need is so big and Kid City USA wants to be your kid’s home away from home.”
