ELITE KIDS ACADEMY (EKA) is an innovative learning, teaching, and training facility dedicated to elevating the quality of early care and education nationally. Parents can see the results of the proven best practices modeled at EKA. At EKA you can observe high-quality early child care education that raises the standards of early learning and supports sustainable and lasting change. EKA provides children with learning opportunities of a lifetime. Children of varying abilities, ages three months to five years old, receive the highest quality early care and education to prepare them cognitively, physically, and emotionally to enter school eager and ready to learn. Wonder and discovery are a part of their “curriculum.”

Infant/Toddler Curriculum (12 months to 36 months)

The Creative Curriculum is an efective tool for achieving the best standards in a high-quality early childhood program for infants and toddlers. It uses a framework in which caregivers are the foundation of the curriculum and play a central role in nurturing relationships among caregivers/teachers, children, and families.

The curriculum uses a daily schedule and routine to give infants and toddlers a feeling of consistency. It promotes creative activities, pretend play, reading and alone play, as well as group play and time.

Preschool Curriculum (3 to 5 years old)

​We believe children learn best by pursuing their personal interests and goals. Children are encouraged to make choices about materials and activities throughout the day. As they pursue their choices and plans, children explore, ask and answer questions, solve problems, and interact with classmates and adults. In this kind of environment, children naturally engage in key experiences-activities that foster developmentally important skills: creative representation, language and literacy, initiative in social relations, movement, music, and learning concepts of numbers, space and time.

School Programming (all ages)

Cultural Relevance

EKA believes that culturally relevant early care and education requires care-giving routines, teaching strategies and curriculum matching the child’s home culture. Miami is a place where families and children can retain their unique cultural identities while maintaining their places in the larger framework of our society.

Our program brings that reality to life in the classroom as children learn about their own and their peers’ cultural practices. By implementing a cultural relevance program, we teach acceptance of all people, all appearances, and all cultures.
