Children blossom and grow when they experience positive, caring relationships with their teachers. The Reggio Emilia Approach encourages and supports student achievement in all developmental areas.
Children learn as much from their environment as they do from the caring adults in their lives. Our distinctive classrooms and shared spaces are designed with safety in mind and matched to various stages of your child’s development and growth.
When children connect experiences outside of school to their experiences in the classroom, they become confident learners. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired approach will enhance your child's learning and boost their confidence.
Early Childhood Education (ECE) refers to educational programs and strategies that are focused on learning through play for children from birth through their preschool years. ECE is based on the natural way young children learn and develop. It covers critical areas like language, literacy, mathematics, social skills, and physical development.
If you’re wondering whether or not your child will benefit from early childhood education, the answer is yes! ECE can enhance learning abilities, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking. It can also improve your child’s communication skills, their ability to cooperate, and their ability to interact with peers and adults.
In addition to these benefits, ECE builds self-confidence, self-regulation, and emotional intelligence. This can help prepare your child for formal schooling and ease their eventual transition into kindergarten. The ultimate goal of ECE is to instill a lifelong love of learning that can result in better academic performance throughout a child’s school years and beyond.
ECE (Early Childhood Education) and preschool are related, but they’re not exactly the same. While preschool typically focuses on children ages three to five, ECE covers education from birth. In addition to this, ECE is a theory, whereas preschool is a specific educational service. In essence, preschool is a part of ECE, but ECE is not limited to preschool.
It’s never too soon for your child to benefit from early childhood education, and the ideal age for preschool will vary depending on your child, your family circumstances, and what your goals are. We offer programs starting in infancy and ranging through pre-K.

Remember, every child adapts differently. Stay positive and patient, and don't hesitate to communicate with teachers and Preschool Director about your child's specific needs.
At KLA Schools, we believe play is not just a break from learning; it’s the primary way young children learn and make sense of their world.
Play and creative activities are fundamental to early childhood education, and they serve as primary vehicles for learning and development. Through play, children explore their environment, test ideas, solve problems, and develop critical thinking skills. It allows them to practice and master new physical, cognitive, and social skills in a friendly environment.
Creative activities like art, music, and dramatic play foster self-expression, imagination, and emotional development. These activities also support language development as children communicate their ideas and experiences.
Play-based learning helps children develop executive function skills like planning, organizing, and self-regulation. It also promotes social skills as children learn to cooperate, negotiate, and empathize with others. We design fun learning environments and experiences to support specific milestones while allowing for child-led exploration.
Through our programs, your child will gain practical skills they can use every day. We offer a tailored educational approach that sparks curiosity, encourages hands-on learning, fosters teamwork, and develops critical thinking abilities.
