Kinovu Preschool follows the VESS Model, a holistic educational model approved by the Florida School Readiness Program and certified by the Department of Neuroeducation at the University of Barcelona.
Our goals for PK4/5 go beyond preparation for Elementary School and into developing Thinking skills that promote creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, deep understanding, and problem-solving. We do so by:
- Promoting each child’s unique passions and needs in a space with multiple learning setups that respond to various interests,
- We complement this with research-based Thinking Strategies to challenge them intellectually and promote deep comprehension.
- We develop autonomous, adaptable kindergarteners with the tools to build fulfilling and balanced lives beyond school.
- We prepare students for life
- We promote ethics and open-mindedness in your child, promoting a culture of values along with a culture of thinking.
