ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
We offer early elementary schooling for children 5+ with plans to extend upward with each passing year.
SCHOOL CALENDAR
Our elementary school calendar runs alongside our preschool calendar, operating in three sessions with extended breaks at the end of each session.
This promotes learning retention for children, as well as, provides sufficient breaks for our teachers to recharge so they can give their best each day.
Session 1: August-December
Session 2: January-May
Session 3: June-July
A more extensive calendar will be communicated to all families of enrolled children.

DAILY FLOW
Our daily flow follows a natural rhythm designed to minimize transitions and allow children to fully engage in play and experiences.
Below is the general schedule we use, though, it may flex from time-to-time depending on weather, children’s energy levels, etc. These also include cushion for transition times such as potty, hand washing, putting on shoes, etc.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
We currently partner with Step Up for Students to offer significant tuition scholarships for both part-time and full-time students!
In addition to Step Up for Students we offer additional tuition assistance based on financial need.
School affordability is a priority, and we never want finances to deter you from enrolling your child.
Please submit a contact form here to ask questions, setup a tour, and/or request scholarship application assistance.
The Florida Tax Credit Scholarship (FTC) and Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) programs give families of K-12 students a choice of financial assistance toward private school tuition.
CURRICULUM
Canguros offers our elementary students a nature-based education that is non-traditional through Blossom & Root Curriculum.
Canguros students will excel academically while gaining insight on themselves, others, and the world around them.
Though this curriculum is designed for homeschool families, it aligns wonderfully with our school structure with small class sizes.
Visit the Blossom & Root About page here or the FAQs page here.
The Canguros classroom is fully immersive, with Spanish and English being spoken equally by teachers throughout each day.
PERSONALIZED UPDATES
Canguros provides each parent personalized updates including daily check-ins, activity logs, and personal messages with the easy-to-use Brightwheel App.
Also, enrollment tuition is set up through this app which makes payment super simple and hassle-free for parents.
