Our Mission and Philosophy KEL's philosophy centers on bilingual education, supportive relationships, intellectual curiosity, and an engaged community. Key Element Learning is a diverse and multicultural school community that develops astute students who become bilingual in Mandarin, Spanish, or French. Our curriculum supports English and dual-language learning, and it helps children build stronger communication skills and better understand different cultures. We value curious, active, and growth mindsets and nurture all aspects of human development—intellectual, physical, creative, social, and emotional. One of the great assets of our school is that we have families from all over the world, and many of our children are bilingual, bringing a lot to our community and curriculum. We encourage them to use their Mandarin, Spanish, and French, for instance, in the classroom. Children also have an exciting environment to learn a new language through their peers and the classroom. Children at Key Element Learning are very accustomed to hearing different voices and languages, which is a powerful feature of our program. KEL's units of study, monthly theme, weekly question, classroom activities, outdoor activities, and lessons are carefully designed to ensure developmentally appropriate, language-rich programs where the curriculum is responsive to each child's interests and individual development. We believe that each child can excel at KEL. Our enriched curriculum, play-based learning, cooperative group work, hands-on activities, and responsive classrooms are deliberately structured to channel children's innate curiosity about their community, inspiring an early love for learning that serves as a foundation for academic success. Our small class sizes and high teacher-student ratios provide students with a learning environment that emphasizes a child-centric and developmentally appropriate approach to teaching a whole child and inspiring each child's creativity and character. Community-building activities foster responsibility, encourage learning from one another, and form relationships that will continue throughout their time at KEL.

Let's Get Fit After School Program How it works: Parents would register their child or children and complete an orientation. Each child would be evaluated and placed in classes based on age and skill. After they complete homework children would participate in classes that will get them physically fit while having fun. Children will be required to keep a food journal listing the types of food that they eat daily. After 8 weeks of working in a particular class, everyone will be evaluated. After evaluation, if they meet the proficiency level, they will be moved to the next stage. If they do not, they will remain in that level for an additional 8 weeks and then be reevaluated. If Let's Get Fit classes options aren't for you than we offer Art's & Crafts. After School hours are from 2:30pm - 5:00 pm,
