Director

I would like to give you a warm welcome to KLA Schools of Doral! My name is Pilar Tefel. I have been working in the professional field of early childhood development/education for twenty-five years and I have been the Director at KLA Schools Doral since 2011 where I have the pleasure of serving many wonderful teachers, children, and families.

Our school provides a positive, nurturing, and child-centered environment in which children grow and thrive while developing curiosity and a love of learning. We are home to supportive families interested in their children's education, and a dedicated professional staff committed to providing them with the highest quality early childhood education. Together, we hope to make a difference in the lives of children and families in the community of Doral. We look forward to welcoming you!
