A World of Knowledge Learning Center kicks off the new school year celebrating 20 years serving the young children in the communities of Pembroke Pines, Miramar and surrounding cities.

“For the past two decades, we have been blessed with the opportunity of seeing young children build a strong academic foundation through music and play. One of the main goals of the school is to embrace multiculturalism and help young children learn about the different cultures that make up our world. Our lessons truly bring the world to your child’s learning experience throughout the year in an exciting way.” says Elizabeth Gonzalez, Owner/Director of the school.

A World of Knowledge was a pioneer in introducing VPK to the community and one of the largest providers in Broward since the program’s inception in 2005. Between 100 - 150 students graduate from the program each year and enter Kindergarten with high reading and math levels. Principals and teachers in the surrounding public schools, highly recommend A World of Knowledge Learning Center because the students are prepared academically, socially and emotionally as they begin their elementary school journey.

For almost 20 years, the center under the direction of Elizabeth Gonzalez, has introduced the concepts of letters, sounds, and higher order critical thinking skills in a fun, interactive and engaging way for students starting at the age of one. The school is recognized by many parents and educators as #1 Choice for QUALITY in Early Learning and has been named BEST PRESCHOOL in Pembroke Pines three years in a row. Our teachers are certified and experienced teachers who have a passion for teaching young children and helping them achieve their highest potential even at a young age.

“The BEST COMPLIMENT I can receive, comes from our parents, when they share success stories of their children in school, and attribute those successes to the foundation they received at A World of Knowledge.” said Ms. Gonzalez.

A World of Knowledge offers an accelerated learning program which allows children to explore everyday concepts at their pace, in a fun way allowing them to reach their higher potential. Children attending our PreK1-PreK4 program are engaged in numerous phonemic awareness activities that will help them achieve success in reading at a young age. Gonzalez proudly adds: “Our success with the children is based on our teaching styles, low child to teacher ratio, staff dedication and the unique multicultural themes and concepts which were created specifically for our school. Multicultural Awareness, Character education, values and etiquette are also essential components of our curriculum.”
