About Fueling Brains Academy

Founded in 2012 as Kids U, Fueling Brains Academy (FBA) is redefining early childhood education by embedding neuroscience and executive function development into every part of the learning journey. With a fast-growing presence across Canada and the United States, FBA delivers whole-brain learning through an innovative, scalable model. Their approach blends left-brain,

right-brain, movement, setting them apart from traditional programs. As their footprint grew, they needed a comprehensive technology partner to unify systems across campuses - without compromising flexibility or control.

The Challenge: Rapid Growth Demands Unified Systems

With new centers opening across regions, FBA needed more than just another childcare software. They required:

Consistent, real-time visibility for leadership

Support for regional compliance and diverse family needs

A partner open to enterprise-level customization

As new campuses opened, there was a need for a unified platform to align enrollment, billing, reporting, and family engagement.
