Academic curriculum
Learning with high standards.
Preschool
Our preschool curriculum is the Creative Curriculum from Teaching Strategies. It follows the Early Learning Florida Department and the revised standards that address eight early learning and developmental domains reflecting a child’s expected age-appropriate progress:
- Physical development
- Approaches to learning
- Social and emotional development
- Language and literacy
- Mathematical thinking
- Scientific inquiry
- Social studies
- Creative expression through the arts
Elementary (K–5)
At the elementary level, we aligned our K–5 curriculum with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for language arts and math, as well as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for science, to ensure a high-quality, consistent education.
We use HMH’s Into Reading, Math GO! and Into Science, all of which are fully aligned with these standards.
Into Reading
Builds strong literacy skills through comprehension, phonics, and writing.
Math GO!
Develops conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and fluency.
Into Science
Fosters inquiry-based, hands-on learning aligned with the NGSS while integrating literacy and math skills.
These programs offer clear learning progressions, structured support, and consistent assessment data, enabling differentiated instruction and academic readiness.
Both curriculums emphasize the child’s natural abilities, skills and aptitudes, developing and nurturing them in a way that encourages the development of new and inherent talents. Our program builds on the child’s experience and prior knowledge because our experience and research has shown that children are better at constructing their own knowledge than we are at teaching it. Therefore, guiding them through the different stages of knowledge is one of the ways we ensure that they receive the best education.
Differentiated approaches
An approach for every age group.
3–12 months
Infants
“Learning with love.”
Following Florida Early Learning Standards and Creative Curriculum, our infant program focuses on building strong emotional bonds, sensory exploration, and predictable routines. Each moment as feeding, cuddling, tummy time; is an opportunity to build trust, cognitive foundations, and motor skills in a loving and respectful environment.
1–2 years
Toddlers
“Little steps, big discoveries.”
Toddlers at Shanti Kids school explore their world through movement, language, and meaningful relationships. Using the Creative Curriculum, we provide structured yet playful environments that promote autonomy, emotional regulation, and early vocabulary-building blocks for lifelong learning.
3 years
3-Year-Olds
“Curiosity with purpose.”
Our 3-year-old program nurture curiosity with intentional play-based learning to support child-led exploration in literacy, math, the arts, and social-emotional growth. We build on children’s interests while gently introducing routines and responsibilities, helping each child grow with joy and confidence.
Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten
VPK
“Ready to learn, prepared for life.”
Our VPK program meets Florida readiness standards while embracing Creative Curriculum’s whole-child approach. Children strengthen phonological awareness, early math, and self-regulation skills, preparing them socially, emotionally, and academically for kindergarten.
