What We Believe
At Excelsior, we have a team of childcare experts and educators who are at the forefront of the latest industry innovations in childhood development and learning.
We use the Creative Curriculum & Abeka Curriculum as a foundational tool to help foster the development of knowledge, skills, and abilities among our toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school students.
These project-based early childhood curricula are designed to foster the whole child's development through teacher-led small and large group activities. Additionally, the elementary school curriculum is based on empirical research that has generated the best instructional strategies and resources that challenge our students’ critical thinking abilities and introduce them to learning concepts well in advance of other academic curricula. STEM activities are incorporated into weekly lesson plans to promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills and to prepare all children for future success.
Our programs follow the educational standards of Florida’s Department of Children and Family and Florida’s Department of Education which encourage a variety of methods and activities to accommodate and benefit the diverse learners in our classrooms.
Through interactions with other children and educational materials, your child will learn about the world while forming friendships that could last a lifetime.

Our daughter attends Pre-k….so far it’s been a good experience for her and the staff takes security and safety seriously. The weekly food menu is healthy and balanced and the curriculum they use is one of the best out there. Shout out to Ms Colleen for being so welcoming when we toured.
