KLA Schools announced the awarding of a new franchise for the Boca Raton, Florida market, which will be the first KLA in the area, and said they are “excited to expand our reach and start serving the families of this community.”
KLA Schools is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education, which is designed to tap into children’s innate curiosities and is ideally suited to prepare children to overcome life’s challenges and succeed academically.
This approach to education was founded by a group of inspired parents who desired an educational system where children could flourish. Led by Loris Malaguzzi, an educator, psychologist, and philosopher after WWII, this philosophy views children as confident, responsible, independent, creative and curious beings. The Reggio Emilia Approach has been featured on Newsweek and CNN as a preschool approach.
This secure and innovative learning facility will include large classroom sizes, a Piazza (common area) where children can gather and feel as though they are part of a community, an Atelier (art studio) where students can find inspiration for their innate creativity and more unique learning spaces. KLA Schools said their state-of-the-art facility will “feature the most functional and safe furniture available for early education which includes meaningfully crafted pieces hand-selected from Reggio Emilia, Italy.”
“We are very excited to continue growing as a company and to bring high quality education to the children of the Boca Raton community,” said Roberto Ortega, CEO and founder of KLA Schools. “Children are honored in our program and acknowledged as the protagonists of their learning experience.”
KLA Schools said they will offer an inviting, respectful, and consistent environment to children. KLA Schools’ vision is to offer children endless opportunities and empower them to positively influence the world.
