A Letter from the Director
Welcome to our website!
I want to personally invite you to explore everything we have to offer at KLA Schools of Coral Gables.
Our school community has a strong image of each child as curious, creative, and capable of building knowledge about the world around them through everything they encounter. We understand the value of exploring each child’s individuality and the importance of supporting them as they make choices, develop and test theories, and express themselves through multiple creative outlets. All of this leads to a strong lifetime love for learning that they can take with them into their future.
At KLA Schools of Coral Gables you will find dedicated educators, some of whom have been with our school since its opening year in 2009, observing, documenting, and learning with the children. Our staff works carefully to build strong, healthy relationships with each child and family, and to strengthen our school community.
Thank you for visiting our website, and I look forward to meeting you in person when you visit our school.
Kindly,
Sarah Green
Director

Parents as Our Partners
Parents are a crucial factor in our program. In fact, parents are our partners. Our teachers understand and respect that parents are their children’s first teacher. Their involvement in the school gives their children a sense of security and is deeply appreciated. We recognize that stable, quality relationships during the early years are fundamental for later developmental outcomes. Collaboration between teachers, parents and the children is an integral part of the educational experience at KLA Schools. Our goal is not simply to build a strong, warm and nurturing connection with each child, but to extend that connection to our community of parents. By working in a collaborative group setting, children learn critical life skills such as compromise, reasoning, respect for others’ opinions and enhancement of their sense of community. Through these partnerships, children benefit from experiencing many of the same principles at home that they do in school and thrive with this consistency. Teachers also offer frequent support our families and our communities through transparency and by being a source of information about educating a whole child and the various aspects of development.

Community Service
As part of our philosophy and educational approach, we believe it is essential to make visible the fact that each child knows and understands that we are all different and can co-exist peacefully. We have different ways of thinking, a fact we embrace. In fulfilling this vision, KLA Schools has formed relationships with charitable organizations within each of the communities where it exists. Read more about our involvement with the following foundations:
Santa en Las Calles (Santa on the Streets)
Each year KLA Schools of Coral Gables holds a special pajama drive for two orphanages from Camillus House in Homestead. These orphanages serve 117 children from 0 to 16 years old. We gather resources from our caring and giving families to provide every child with a special bag filled with a few necessities to bring a smile and care to those in need.
Camillus House
Each year KLA Schools of Coral Gables participates in fundraising through the Camillus House Organization. Serving the South Florida community since 1960, this is a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian services to men, women and children who are poor and homeless. We ask our families to help us by providing basic non-perishable necessities to these people in our community.
