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, 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 safe, nonjudgmental community environment that will encourage children to try new roles, practice social skills and investigate new areas of interest.
