Why choose us?!
Being a single mother of three once Candice Scales knew all too well the struggles that came along with not only being a single mother, but finding great quality, safe and affordable childcare alternative. 

With the help of her team Candice Scales began Guilford County Youth Academy, L.L.C. in 2021, because she couldn’t find a suitable option for her family’s needs.  She wanted something more than just "childcare" for her family. Candice wanted a place where her children can just go and be themselves in a judgement free zone. She wanted her children to be apart of a organization that would make them feel like they belonged. So she created Guilford County Youth "GCYA" a place where children can just be kids, do things that they would like to do along with getting enrichment beyond the classroom setting.
