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 and being able to 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.
Candice Scales recently participated in a interview conducted by a UNC student on the journey of becoming a business owner and the obsticles faced along the way. To learn more about GCYA'S owner/director please click on the read more button below!
