Our School “look and feel” stands-out in the child care industry. Our schools get noticed and attract Parents and the Community. From the moment you walk into any of our locations, you will know that you are in a KLA Schools environment. Each one of our schools has a modern feel and design unlike any other. In fact, our school design was developed by world renowned architects and experts in the field of Early Childhood Education.
Features such as a Piazza (central community classroom), an Atelier 0art room), large corridors, soft tone pastel colors, large picture windows for all classrooms and offices, light wooden flooring and furniture are some of the visual components that make KLA Schools stand out from all the rest! We even have unique furniture called Play Soft and Play Solid that is specially imported from Italy for KLA Schools.
What makes KLA Schools Franchise Different from All the rest?
We are Different! We are Operators and We care about the success of our Franchisees! Our core values, as a Family owned business, are all about our relationships with our Franchisees and their success. Emotional and financial rewards are both essential for our Franchisee’s success. It starts with the flexibility we offer our Franchisees in the design and “footprint” of their school. Flexibility in size and location types allow Franchisees to place their schools in a variety of locations, within the desirable market. Flexibility of the build, from a new building or rehab of an existing building, and whether owning the land or leasing the facility, KLA Franchisees have lots of choices!
Simply said, it is our unique and top rated Education Philosophy that truly distinguishes our students and their achievements from the rest of schools. We teach the Reggio Emilio Education Philosophy and we embrace this learning methodology in the complete KLA School environment. Our Parents and their children, and our teachers love Reggio Emelia!
Our schools offer large classroom sizes filled with an abundance of natural, recycled and man-made materials ready for the students to explore and experience. Each KLA Schools location also offers an Atelier (art studio). The Atelier is an artistic space (in addition to the mini atelier found in every classroom) that offers children a place to come in small groups to explore various creative and open-ended materials. The Atelier provides an artistic extension of the learning experiences that are going on in the classroom.
Our nature-based playgrounds provide an additional environment for exploration. Our outdoor environment allows students to develop their gross motor skills, socialize and play creatively with their classmates. Many of our outdoor playgrounds also have a gardening space for children to learn and interact with nature. Some of our locations offer indoor playgrounds which gives children the space for artistic exploration with music, lights and shadows.
Each of our schools has a Professional Development room which provides the teachers with an area to work on items associated with the school's educational approach and the learning of the children in each of the classrooms (Daily Journals, Weekly Projections, Documentation, Assessments, etc.). This space also allows teachers to collaborate and learn from one another.

Help us build the KLA Schools legacy in your community. KLA originated back in 2008 when its first location was opened in Brickell, near Downtown Miami by Candy Arocena and her husband, Roberto. In the years to follow, they proceeded to open several corporate owned schools all located in the South Florida area. With both the vision and the resources to generate a national, Reggio Emilia inspired childcare franchise, the founders created the KLA Schools Franchise Program in 2010. Since 2010, KLA and its founders have awarded more than 24 franchises nationwide
