We can't wait to welcome young learners into an education like no other!

What is the teacher to student ratio?

KLA Schools always have lower ratios than state-required ratios. Lower ratios mean your child gets:

More attention, which can have long-lasting positive effects on learning, especially during early years of education
The kind of responsiveness that will make your child feel valued, respected, and heard
Small group experiences that allow our educators align to the children’s interest and nurture them in a positive way

What is your curriculum?

Our preschool curriculum values the child as an active participant in their learning journey. This approach emphasizes child-led exploration, allowing young learners to follow their natural curiosity and interests while engaging in meaningful, hands-on experiences that are aligned with rigorous academic expectations. Educators act as facilitators rather than instructors, fostering a collaborative environment where children, teachers, and parents work together to create a rich, engaging educational experience. Our curriculum nurtures critical thinking, independence, and a lifelong love of learning through project-based learning, open-ended materials, and an emphasis on creativity, problem-solving, social interaction and most importantly academics.
